Dip the rim of a clear shot glass into lemon juice or simple syrup, then into colored sugar for extra flair. -
Layer the Blue Base:
Pour 0.5 oz blue curaçao syrup and 0.5 oz piña colada drink into the shot glass as the bottom layer. -
Add the White Layer:
Gently pour 0.5 oz coconut cream (or white chocolate liqueur) over the back of a spoon to layer it over the blue. Add a splash of milk if needed for proper layering. -
Top with the Pink Layer:
Combine 0.5 oz bubble gum rum, 0.5 oz strawberry liqueur, 0.5 oz piña colada drink, and optional 0.5 oz overproof rum. Slowly layer it on top using the spoon or a syringe.

Notes
-
Prep Ahead: You can infuse the rum up to a week in advance. Store it in a sealed bottle at room temperature.
-
Layering Tip: Chill all liquids before layering for best separation. Pour slowly over a spoon or use a cocktail syringe.
-
Make It Non-Alcoholic: Swap the rum and liqueurs with flavored syrups and use coconut milk or mocktail mixers instead.
-
More Fun: Add edible glitter to any layer or use popping candy on the rim for a playful surprise!
