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 Glass Rims: Pour a thin layer of light corn syrup onto a shallow plate to serve as the adhesive for the coconut flakes.
- Set Up Coconut Flakes: Spread the sweetened coconut flakes evenly on another shallow plate, ready for rimming the glasses.
- Rim the Glasses: Dip the rim of each cocktail glass first into the corn syrup, then immediately into the coconut flakes to create a festive, frosty 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.
- Serve: Pour the blended cocktail evenly into the prepared glasses, garnish if desired, and serve immediately to enjoy a refreshing winter-inspired drink.
Notes
- Use cream of coconut (such as Coco Lopez) for the authentic creamy texture and sweetness; do not substitute with coconut milk.
- Adjust the amount of crushed ice to reach your desired consistency—more ice for thicker, frostier drinks.
- For a non-alcoholic version, replace the rum and blue curacao with pineapple juice and blue food coloring or a blue non-alcoholic syrup.
- Chilling glasses beforehand can keep the cocktail cooler longer.
- Garnish with a small pineapple wedge or a maraschino cherry for an extra festive touch.
