How to Make Flamingo Bliss Cocktail

1. Prepare the Glass

Fill a tall glass with crushed ice. This helps keep the cocktail perfectly chilled while adding to its tropical vibe.

2. Mix the Cocktail

In a cocktail shaker, combine:

White rum
Coconut rum
Dragon fruit puree (or watermelon puree)
Coconut cream
Pineapple juice
Lime juice
Simple syrup (if using)

Shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds until everything is well mixed and slightly frothy.

3. Pour & Garnish

Strain the cocktail over the crushed ice in your prepared glass. Garnish with a watermelon slice and a pink straw for that perfect Instagram-worthy finish.

4. Sip & Enjoy

Close your eyes, take a sip, and let the flavors transport you to a sun-soaked tropical paradise.

What to Serve with Flamingo Bliss Cocktail

Pair this tropical delight with:

Fresh fruit platters – Mango, pineapple, and kiwi complement the cocktail beautifully.
Coconut shrimp – The crispy, slightly sweet shrimp pairs perfectly with the creamy coconut notes in the drink.
Tropical salsa & chips – Try a mango-pineapple salsa for an extra burst of sunshine.
Beachy vibes – Okay, maybe not a food, but sipping this while lounging by the pool or on a beach towel makes it even better.

Tips for the Best Flamingo Bliss Cocktail

Use fresh ingredients – Fresh lime juice and real fruit puree make a huge difference in taste.
Shake it well – This helps blend the coconut cream smoothly with the other ingredients.
Experiment with flavors – Swap dragon fruit for watermelon or even passion fruit for a different tropical twist.
Make it a frozen cocktail – Blend everything with ice instead of shaking for a slushie-style treat.

How to Store & Make Ahead

Make the puree in advance – Store dragon fruit or watermelon puree in the fridge for up to three days.
Pre-mix for a party – Combine everything except the ice and coconut cream in a pitcher and chill until ready to serve. Just shake with ice and coconut cream before pouring.
Leftovers? – Highly unlikely! But if you do have any, keep it chilled and shake before serving.

Flamingo Bliss Cocktail: FAQs

Can I make this non-alcoholic?

Absolutely! Just swap the rums for coconut water or more pineapple juice for a delicious tropical mocktail.

What if I don’t have dragon fruit puree?

No worries! Watermelon puree makes a great alternative, or you can try raspberries blended with a little sugar.

Can I use canned coconut milk instead of coconut cream?

You can, but coconut cream is thicker and gives the cocktail its signature creamy texture. If using coconut milk, go for full-fat and shake the can well before using.

How can I make this even more tropical?

Try adding a splash of passion fruit juice or a few drops of vanilla extract for extra depth of flavor.
