Ingredients
Scale
For Rimming the Glasses
- Light corn syrup, for rimming glasses
- 1/3 cup sweetened coconut flakes, for rimming glasses
For the 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 Glass Rims: Pour a thin layer of light corn syrup onto a shallow plate to serve as an adhesive for the coconut flakes.
- Set Up Coconut Flakes: Spread the sweetened coconut flakes evenly across another shallow plate.
- Rim the Glasses: Dip the rim of each cocktail glass first into the corn syrup, ensuring it is fully coated, then immediately dip into the coconut flakes to create a frosted coconut rim. Set the glasses aside.
- Blend Cocktail Ingredients: In a blender, combine the crushed ice, pineapple juice, Blue Curacao, light rum, and cream of coconut. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy with a frozen texture.
- Serve: Pour the blended cocktail evenly into the prepared glasses. Serve immediately to enjoy the refreshing and creamy flavors at their best.
Notes
- This cocktail is best served immediately after blending to maintain its creamy texture and chilled temperature.
- You can adjust the amount of crushed ice to achieve your preferred consistency, adding more for a thicker frozen drink.
- Ensure you use cream of coconut rather than coconut milk to achieve the characteristic sweetness and creaminess.
- Light corn syrup helps the coconut flakes stick better; you can substitute with simple syrup if needed, but the texture might vary slightly.
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute Blue Curacao and rum with blue food coloring and coconut or pineapple-flavored syrups.
