Ingredients
Scale
For Rimming Glasses
- Light corn syrup, for rimming glasses
- 1/3 cup sweetened coconut flakes, for rimming glasses
For Cocktail
- 3-4 cups crushed ice
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup Blue Curacao liquor
- 1/2 cup light rum
- 1/2 cup cream of coconut (not coconut milk)
Instructions
- Prepare Rimming Plates: Pour a thin layer of light corn syrup onto a shallow plate to act as the adhesive for the coconut flakes.
- Arrange Coconut Flakes: Spread the sweetened coconut flakes evenly on a separate shallow plate to coat the glass rims.
- Rim the Glasses: Dip the rim of each cocktail glass first into the light corn syrup, then gently press into the coconut flakes ensuring an even coat around the rim. Set aside for the rim to set slightly.
- Blend the Cocktail: In a blender, combine the crushed ice, pineapple juice, Blue Curacao, light rum, and cream of coconut. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and frothy.
- Serve: Pour the blended mixture carefully into the prepared glasses rimmed with coconut flakes. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh and chilled flavors at their best.
Notes
- Use cream of coconut rather than coconut milk for a richer, sweeter drink.
- Ensure the coconut flakes are sweetened to complement the tropical flavor profile.
- Adjust the amount of crushed ice for desired thickness.
- Can be garnished with a pineapple wedge or a maraschino cherry for extra festive appeal.
- This cocktail is best served immediately to maintain the smooth, icy texture.
