A curved glass filled with bright pink (or blue, or orange...) fluid, garnished with little pieces of fruit and decorated with the all-important paper cocktail umbrella. This cocktail is associated with Pacific islands, especially Hula and Luaus vacations. A tiki-themed tourist trap is not complete without a row of colorful rum-based cocktails, which are identifiable more by their decorations than by their contents, a visual shorthand for the type of drink one usually doesn't get at the local pub.
Fluffy the Terrible will sometimes apply; despite their widespread derision as "girly drinks" they are often very, very strong.
An umbrella cocktail will be the regular Drink Order of a Cloudcuckoolander. See also Gargle Blaster for the more potent drinks that get served with these little umbrellas.
