Rinse your blender. Add blue curaçao, Sprite or lemonade, light rum (if using), and ice. Blend until slushy.Layer the Cocktail:
Slowly pour or spoon the blue layer over the frozen yellow base. For best results, pour over the back of a spoon to keep the layers from mixing.Garnish and Serve:

Notes
For a non-alcoholic version, swap the rums and curaçao with coconut water and blue sports drink or blue raspberry lemonade.
The thicker your yellow layer, the better your color separation will be. A quick 5–10 minute freeze helps hold the layers!
Want more creaminess? Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a frozen banana to the yellow layer.
Serve in chilled glasses to slow melting, especially if you’re outdoors.
