When travel is difficult but wanderlust is driving you crazy, exotic cocktails are the magical remedy. While the alcohol calms your nerves, the exciting flavors will give you the feeling of being in a new place altogether. Be sure to make these exotic cocktails for your next self-care appointment with the bathtub, romantic date night at home, or party you throw.

1. Turmeric Colada
This Puerto Rican drink with an Indian twist is not just exotic but healthy as well. Turmeric is calming, and with the pineapple, the anti-inflammatory properties are only doubled. Combine white rum, turmeric powder, coconut milk, and an ounce of pineapple juice, lime juice, and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker. Add in ice and shake the container. Strain into a glass and embellish with a pineapple triangle. The mouthwatering ingredients combine in a way that takes your taste buds on a journey halfway around the world.

2. Rum Runner
With this drink, you can make a historical trip commemorating the prohibition period. It got this name after the “Rum Runners” inhabiting the Florida Keys in the early 1900s. They smuggled alcohol via water instead of land. You, however, can make this drink far more quickly than the bootleggers ever could. In a large glass full of ice, pour one-fourth cup of rum, a tablespoon of coconut cream, two tablespoons of banana liquor, and blackberry brandy. Top with half a cup of sweet and sour mix and half a cup of orange juice. Before you garnish with an orange and lime wedge, add in a dash of grenadine. All the different liquors combine magically.

3. Blueberry Lavender Vodka Spritzer
Chances are you have probably never heard of this cocktail before. A blue-colored drink to lift your spirits has never been so simple to make. You need to make blueberry lavender syrup before making the drink. Combine water with sugar and blueberries and boil till you cannot see the sugar crystals. Lower the heat and add lavender springs. Keep stirring for a while, so the essence seeps into the water and then strain it into a jug. Add vodka, lemon juice, and soda to the syrup, put in some ice, and stir. This drink combines the relaxing effects of lavender with the antioxidants from blueberry.

4. Strawberry Champagne
Not exactly exotic, but Strawberry Champagne is undoubtedly a luxurious drink that you can have all night, as Bruno Mars says. It is a good cocktail for those who cannot handle hard liquor or prefer to drink light. All you need are champagne or any sparkling white wine, lemon juice, and strawberries. Whether fresh or frozen, put your strawberries in a blender with the lemon juice and combine till you get a smooth puree. In a champagne glass, add a little of the puree and top with the wine of choice. You can cut strawberries into hearts and use them as a garnish as well. Stir the drink a little before you drink.
