About
The Aruba Ariba is the island’s signature cocktail — a vibrant tropical drink made with dark rum, Coecoei (a local cactus-based red liqueur), vodka, crème de banana, orange juice, and pineapple juice, garnished with grenadine and a fruit skewer. Served in virtually every bar and restaurant, the Aruba Ariba is the first drink most visitors try and often the last thing they remember. The Coecoei liqueur — made from the local dividivi cactus — is uniquely Aruban and gives the cocktail its distinctive character.
