Turquoise Paradise Shots: A Frozen Tropical Escape in a Glass


  • Author: Sam

Description

Turquoise Paradise Shots are vibrant, frozen cocktail shots that taste like pure tropical vacation in a glass. With coconut rum, pineapple juice, and blue curaçao, these colorful slushy drinks are quick to blend, easy to serve, and perfect for pool parties or beach-themed gatherings. They’re fruity, refreshing, and always a crowd-pleaser—your guests won’t stop talking about them!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 oz coconut-flavored rum (Malibu recommended)

  • 1 oz pineapple juice

  • ½ oz blue curaçao

  • ½ cup crushed or cubed ice

Optional toppings:

  • Whipped cream

  • Toasted coconut flakes

  • Pineapple wedge for garnish


Instructions

  • Add coconut rum, pineapple juice, blue curaçao, and ice to a blender.

  • Blend until smooth and slushy.

  • Pour into 2–3 shot glasses or a small chilled coupe glass.

  • Garnish with whipped cream, toasted coconut, and a pineapple wedge if desired.

 

  • Serve immediately and enjoy your sip of paradise!

Notes

  • Crushed ice blends better and creates a smoother texture.

  • To make these ahead of time, freeze the blended mix in ice cube trays. Re-blend with a splash of juice or rum when ready to serve.

  • Want a non-alcoholic version? Swap the rum for coconut water and use a non-alcoholic blue curaçao syrup.

  • Double or triple the batch to serve more guests—these disappear fast!

 

  • For a creamier twist, add a splash of cream of coconut before blending.
