With its fruity, slightly tangy, and subtly sweet flavors, this cocktail transports you on a sensory journey worthy of the crystal-clear waters of Atlantis. White rum pairs perfectly with orange juice and triple sec, while raspberry liqueur adds a delicately sweet touch, balanced by the acidity of lemon juice. The Atlantis is both refreshing and surprising, ideal for summer evenings or moments when you want to impress with a cocktail that's both beautiful and delicious.

The Atlantis cocktail is a tropical concoction often enjoyed for its exotic and refreshing flavors. Its history isn't as well documented as that of some classic cocktails, but it's generally associated with the world of tiki bars, which were popular in the United States starting in the 1930s. These bars featured drinks made with rum, tropical fruits, and sweet syrups, evoking paradise islands like Atlantis, hence the cocktail's name.
A tiki bar is a type of themed bar inspired by Polynesian and Pacific Island culture. It first appeared in the United States in the 1930s and became very popular in the following decades. Tiki bars are characterized by exotic and immersive decor: bamboo, wooden sculptures representing tikis (stylized human figures), palm trees, torches, seashells, and other elements reminiscent of tropical islands. Drink-wise, tiki bars are known for their rum-based cocktails, which are often complex and sweet, blending several types of rum, tropical fruit juices, spices, and syrups. Famous cocktails like the Mai Tai, the Zombie, and the Scorpion were popularized in this context.
