After one sip, you’ll forget all your worries until sunrise.
I haven’t had the pleasure of sampling the Fire Island Sunrise, but it sounds damn good. One shot of rum, one shot of vodka, then sweet and sour and juices to mask the taste of alcohol. Sounds like something that sneaks up on you after a couple and makes you tell bad jokes.
Fire Island Sunrise Cocktail Recipe
- White rim 1 shot
- Vodka 1 shot
- Orange juice 1 shot
- Sweet and sour 1 shot
- Cranberry juice splash
- Orange slice garnish
Preparation:
In an ice-filled Collins glass, pour the alcohols in first. Add the orange juice and sweet and sour. Add with cranberry juice to create a “sunrise” and garnish with an orange slice. Raise glass and toast.
Let me know if you gives this boat drink a try. Would love to know what you think.

Funny, I won the Best Bartender in Fire Island competition back in 2000 and never once heard of this drink! A better option? The deadly Rocket Fuel, served at just about every bar in Fire Island. Ingredients: An amaretto and amber rum pina colada with a thick 151 floater up top. To the moon!
151 floater huh? That will light the island on fire!
