Fruity Sweet

Space Odyssey es un coctel tropical de colores vivos elaborado con vodka, curacao azul, jugo fresco de pina y un toque de menta verde, servido con hielo en copa alta. Nombrado por la clasica pelicula de ciencia ficcion de Stanley Kubrick, la combinacion del curacao azul con el jugo de pina crea un color azul acuoso que evoca la exploracion cosmica.

History & Origins

The Space Odyssey is a modern cocktail of disputed origin, likely created as a house specialty or themed drink at a tiki-inspired bar during the late 20th century. The use of Bacardi 151 as a primary ingredient reflects the high-proof rum trend popular in tiki culture and college bars. Its name evokes the science fiction film of the same title, suggesting a desire for an otherworldly, boundary-pushing drinking experience.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Sweet coconut and tropical pineapple from the Malibu and juice, with a strong alcoholic presence from the 151-proof rum. Palate: Very sweet and tropical, with coconut and pineapple dominating; orange juice adds a bright citrus note and grenadine contributes a deep berry sweetness at the base; the 151 rum provides an underlying intensity. Finish: Sweet and warming, with a persistent tropical fruit note and noticeable alcohol heat.

Pro Tip

Add the grenadine last by pouring it down the inside of the glass to create a color gradient before mixing lightly.
