volcano bowl

Shared tropical drink

A volcano bowl is a large cocktail served in a bowl-shaped vessel, typically shared among a group.

The drink usually contains rum and fruit juices, often set aflame briefly for presentation—hence the volcanic imagery.

Common at tiki bars and Polynesian restaurants: We ordered a volcano bowl for the table.
