Signature Cocktail: Boat Scrubber Slush
Photos by Mike Ritterbeck
Each month, LOCAL Life features a must-try signature cocktail from a local establishment. This month, we highlight the Boat Scrubber Slush at Skull Creek Dockside. It was created by legendary local mixologist Matty Bussman. “It’s our spin off the popular tiki cocktail, The Pain Killer,” Bussman explained. “It’s a fun and fruity mix made of pineapple, orange, coconut and bold rum. Perfect for our sunny days on Hilton Head. It’s especially popular with boaters and boat captains as well.”
The concoction is the most popular drink at the Shark Bar and is kept frozen and readily available for all adults to enjoy. Enhance the experience even further with Dockside’s shrimp nachos (order the large).

Key ingredient
Coco Lopez
Coco Lopez could make you think of tropical drink delights, but you can create much more than coladas with it. Add it to dressings, main dishes, sides and desserts for a coconut kick.
