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: Moisten the rim of a cocktail glass with a little water or pineapple juice, then dip the rim into shredded coconut to coat it evenly. Set aside.
- Combine Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, add the vodka, blue curaçao, cream of coconut, pineapple juice, and a handful of ice. This combination forms the flavorful base of your cocktail.
- Shake Well: Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 to 20 seconds to chill the mixture thoroughly and blend the flavors.
- Strain and Serve: Strain the chilled cocktail into the prepared glass, ensuring the ice stays in the shaker.
- Garnish: Add a pineapple wedge and a maraschino cherry on the rim or drop them into the drink for an appealing tropical presentation.
Notes
- For a frozen variation, blend all the liquid ingredients with ice instead of shaking.
- The cream of coconut is different from coconut milk or cream; it is sweetened and adds richness.
- Adjust the amount of cream of coconut for a sweeter or creamier cocktail to your taste.
- Always use fresh pineapple juice for the best flavor.
- To rim the glass more easily, use a lime wedge to moisten the edge before applying shredded coconut.
