What is in the Kenny Cooler from Texas Roadhouse?
The Kenny Cooler is relatively inspired by Kenny Chesney and his general state of mind. Think beaches, tropical flavors and a relatively calm, cool and collected persona. This drink exemplifies all of those values. From the cocunut rum that gives the cocktail a distinctly tropical flavor to the mix with coconut rum and peach schnapps.
Blue Curacao
The blue curacao is what gives the Kenny's cooler its distinct look and flavor. Without it, it wouldn't be blue! We recommend using this liqueur for both the look and the flavor.
Coconut Rum
The coconut rum also provides a distinct flavor as well. We recommend Blue Chair Bay but you could also use a Malibu or something similar.
Peach Schnapps
Peach schnapps gives the kenny cooler recipe a more fruity flavors. Kenny's cooler without the peach schnapps just doesn't cut it.
Sweet and Sour Mix
We also recommend using a sweet and sour mix of your choosing or to make your own mix. When you're deciding on how much sweet and sour to use or what brand, think about how sweet you want your cocktail. The Kenny's cooler recipe should be a relatively sweet drink but we understand if you would want to use something else.
Lemonade
Now here's the only difference between the recipe we gave and the exact match over at Texas Roadhouse, they use minute maid lemonade but we prefer to use a fresh lemonade. We find it tastes better.
How much Alcohol is in a Kenny's Cooler
How much alcohol is in this recipe? Well depending on who you are, either a lot or a little. Because of the multiple blends of liqueurs and liquors, this drink can quickly become quite strong. However, due to the dilution of the amount of ice cubes. Then the drink can slowly become a bit less strong.
