Ingredients
Serves 1
1½ oz white rum
1 oz Blue Curaçao
1 oz coconut cream (Coco Lopez or similar)
1 oz pineapple juice
½ oz fresh lime juice
Crushed ice or ice cubes
Pineapple wedge (for garnish)
Maraschino cherry (for garnish)
Edible flowers (optional, for garnish)
Optional: Grated nutmeg or coconut flakes (for topping)
Instructions
Chill your glass. Place your serving glass in the freezer while you prep the cocktail. A frosty glass makes everything better!
Add ingredients to a shaker. In a cocktail shaker, combine the rum, Blue Curaçao, coconut cream, pineapple juice, and lime juice.
Shake it like you mean it. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled and creamy.
Prepare your glass. Remove the glass from the freezer and fill it with crushed ice or ice cubes.
Strain and pour. Strain the cocktail into the chilled glass, letting that ocean-blue goodness cascade in.
Garnish generously. Add a pineapple wedge, maraschino cherry, and edible flowers if you’ve got them. Optional: sprinkle a touch of grated nutmeg or toasted coconut for extra island flair.
Serve and enjoy. Sip slowly and let the tropical vibes wash over you!
Notes
Coconut cream vs. coconut milk: For best results, use a thick, sweet coconut cream like Coco Lopez—not coconut milk.
Make it frozen: Blend all the ingredients with ice for a slushy-style twist that’s extra refreshing.
No Blue Curaçao? Use another orange liqueur like triple sec and add a tiny drop of blue food coloring to mimic the hue.
Hosting a party? Multiply the ingredients and mix a big batch in advance. Just shake with ice before serving to keep that creamy texture.
Make it a mocktail: Skip the alcohol and use blue raspberry syrup or punch, plus extra pineapple and lime juice for a booze-free version.
