Soursop Bushwacker - Brewch Remix

Brewch Flavor: Soursop
Difficulty: Easy
Seasons: Summer
Trend Source: The Bushwacker - a blended beach cocktail - is going viral as the creamy tiki answer to a milkshake; tropical-cream builds are a top-saved category
Theme: Tiki Tropical

A frozen, creamy beach cocktail built on custardy soursop.

1. Cocktail Version

Ingredients

• 4 drops Brewch Soursop (high potency, start at 3)
• 1.5 oz dark rum
• 1 oz coconut rum
• 2 oz cream of coconut
• 1 oz heavy cream or oat cream
• 1 cup ice
• Grated nutmeg and a cherry for garnish

Method

1. Add dark rum, coconut rum, cream of coconut, cream, Brewch Soursop, and ice to a blender.
2. Blend until smooth and thick, about 20 seconds.
3. Pour into a hurricane glass.
4. Grate nutmeg over the top and add a cherry.

Base spirit: Dark rum + coconut rum | ABV: medium (approx 12-15%) | Glass: Hurricane glass

2. Mocktail Version (Zero-Proof)

Swaps

• Replace dark rum and coconut rum -> 2 oz coconut milk plus 0.5 oz coconut water
• Keep: 4 drops Brewch Soursop, cream of coconut, cream, ice

Method

Blend coconut milk, coconut water, cream of coconut, cream, Brewch Soursop, and ice until smooth. Pour and grate nutmeg on top.

Zero-proof base: Coconut milk + coconut water | ABV: zero

3. Seltzer Version

Soursop Lime Seltzer (single 8 oz / 240 ml glass)

• 3 drops Brewch Soursop
• 1 drop Brewch Lime Wedge (accent)
• 8 oz / 240 ml cold sparkling water
• Garnish: Lime wheel

Method

1. Fill a glass with ice and add 8 oz cold sparkling water.
2. Add 3 drops Brewch Soursop and stir gently.
3. Add the 1 drop of Brewch Lime Wedge LAST - its aroma is the most volatile, so a late add keeps it bright.
4. Garnish and serve immediately.

HIGH-POTENCY FLAVOR: Soursop is concentrated. Start at the low end of the drop range and add 1 drop at a time - it is far easier to add than to dilute.

Seltzer dosing: 3-5 drops primary per 8 oz glass; add accents 1 drop at a time.

4. Why It Works

Soursop is a creamy, apple-custard tropical fruit with a soft banana-pineapple haze - a flavor that practically asks to be blended with coconut and cream. In a Bushwacker it reads like a tropical milkshake with a grown-up rum backbone.

5. Pro Tip

Soursop is high potency - 3 drops is enough for a full blender. For a lighter, dairy-free version, use oat cream and skip the coconut rum.
