Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1.5 oz vodka
- 1 oz blue curaçao
- 1 oz cream of coconut (e.g., Coco Lopez)
- 2 oz pineapple juice
- Shredded coconut (for rimming the glass)
- Ice (a handful)
- Pineapple wedge (optional garnish)
- Maraschino cherry (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the glass: Begin by rimming your cocktail glass with shredded coconut. To do this, lightly wet the rim with pineapple juice or water and then dip the rim into a plate of shredded coconut to coat it evenly.
- Add ice: Fill the glass with a handful of ice to chill the drink and keep it refreshing.
- Mix the cocktail: In a cocktail shaker, pour 1.5 oz of vodka, 1 oz of blue curaçao, 1 oz of cream of coconut, and 2 oz of pineapple juice. Add ice to the shaker as well.
- Shake well: Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled and combined.
- Strain and serve: Strain the cocktail mixture into the prepared glass over the ice.
- Garnish: Add a pineapple wedge and a maraschino cherry as optional garnishes for a colorful and tropical finish.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, use full-fat cream of coconut like Coco Lopez.
- If you prefer a less sweet cocktail, adjust the cream of coconut to 0.5 oz.
- To make the cocktail extra frosty, chill the glass in the freezer before preparing.
- You can substitute pineapple juice with fresh pineapple juice for a brighter flavor.
- This cocktail pairs excellently with light appetizers or tropical-themed meals.
