For the Cocktail
- 1.5 oz vodka
- 1 oz blue curaçao
- 1 oz cream of coconut (e.g., Coco Lopez)
- 2 oz pineapple juice
- Handful of ice
For Garnish
- Shredded coconut for glass rim
- Pineapple wedge (optional)
- Maraschino cherry (optional)
- Prepare the Glass Rim: Begin by moistening the rim of your glass with a little pineapple juice or water. Then, dip the rim into shredded coconut until it is evenly coated. Set the glass aside.
- Combine Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, add 1.5 oz vodka, 1 oz blue curaçao, 1 oz cream of coconut, 2 oz pineapple juice, and a handful of ice to chill the mixture.
- Shake the Cocktail: Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 to 20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled and slightly frothy.
- Strain and Serve: Strain the cocktail into the prepared glass rimmed with shredded coconut. Ensure no ice pieces fall into the glass for a smooth drinking experience.
- Add Garnish: Garnish with a pineapple wedge and a maraschino cherry on the rim or floated on top, if desired, to enhance both presentation and flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute cream of coconut with coconut milk for a less sweet but similar creamy texture.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of cream of coconut or pineapple juice according to taste preference.
- For a frozen version, blend all ingredients with ice instead of shaking.
- Use a chilled glass to keep the cocktail colder longer.
- Blue curaçao gives the cocktail its signature blue color; do not substitute with other liqueurs to keep the authentic look.
