Looking at this cocktail, certain ingredients offer a nod to the movie’s character. The use of the coconut water represents the training that a boxer must endure. That multi-functional component highlights the versatility that a boxer must represent.

Overall, each flavor component builds to make a complete package. From the brightness of the lime to the sweetness of the pineapple, those flavors play off the berry and fruit in the Hennessy. As any boxer knows, it is the cumulation of punches that can lead to a big KO.
