With its stunning ocean-blue color and refreshing fizz, it’s the perfect drink for summer parties, poolside lounging, or any time you want to serve something fun and unforgettable. Think Malibu breeze meets electric blue paradise.
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut rum (Malibu or any preferred brand)
- ½ cup blue curaçao (for that bold, oceanic blue hue)
- 1 cup pineapple juice (for tropical sweetness)
- 1 cup lemonade (adds tang and balances the flavors)
- ½ cup lemon-lime soda or sparkling water (for a bubbly finish)
- Ice (as needed)
Optional Garnishes:
- Fresh lime slices
- Maraschino cherries
- Pineapple chunks
- A sprinkle of edible glitter (for visual flair)
Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Base
In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine the coconut rum, blue curaçao, pineapple juice, and lemonade. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well mixed.
Step 2: Chill It
Place the mixture in the refrigerator and allow it to chill for at least 30 minutes. This step enhances the flavors and ensures your drink is refreshingly cold when served.
Step 3: Add the Bubbles
Right before serving, pour in the lemon-lime soda or sparkling water. Stir gently to combine without losing the carbonation.
Step 4: Serve with Style
Fill glasses with ice, pour in the cocktail, and top with your favorite garnishes — lime slices, cherries, pineapple, or a dusting of edible glitter for a touch of fun. Serve immediately and enjoy the tropical burst of flavor.
Tips & Variations
- Make it a Mocktail:
Skip the alcohol and replace the coconut rum with coconut water or coconut syrup, and the blue curaçao with a blue sports drink or blue raspberry syrup. It’s a hit with kids or for guests who prefer non-alcoholic options. - Frozen Slushy Version:
Add all ingredients (minus the soda) to a blender with a generous handful of ice. Blend until slushy, then stir in soda or sparkling water just before serving for a frozen treat. - Party Punch Option:
Hosting a larger crowd? Triple the recipe and serve it in a large punch bowl. Add floating citrus slices, pineapple rings, and ice for a visually striking presentation. - Sweetness Adjustment:
If you prefer a tarter drink, add a splash of lime juice. For extra sweetness, stir in simple syrup to taste.
Serving Ideas
- Serve in hurricane glasses, mason jars, or any fun glassware that enhances its vibrant color.
- Great for tropical-themed parties, bachelorette events, beach days, or simply as a way to feel like you’re on vacation at home.
