Tropic Blue Cocktail (Pineapple Coconut Rum Drink)
This tropical Blue Cocktail is a vibrant rum drink made with pineapple coconut juice, fresh lime and blue spirulina for a naturally ocean-blue finish. Refreshing and not overly sweet, it’s ready in just 5 minutes, making it perfect for summer entertaining and poolside sipping.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 oz Barbados rum
- 1 1/2 oz pineapple coconut juice
- 3/4 oz lime juice
- 1/2 oz simple syrup
- Dash of orange blossom water
- Dash of blue spirulina
- Dried edible flowers and sugar for rim
- Pineapple slice and edible flower for garnish
Instructions
- Add sugar and edible flowers to a shallow dish. Moisten the rim of a cocktail glass with citrus juice or honey, then dip in the sugar mix until coated.
- To a cocktail shaker, add rum, pineapple coconut juice, lime juice, simple syrup, orange blossom water, blue spirulina and ice. Shake until well chilled.
- Strain the cocktail into the prepared glass over fresh ice. If desired, garnish with a pineapple slice and edible flower.
Notes
- Shake thoroughly: Shake vigorously to evenly mix in the blue spirulina. This prevents clumping and gives you that smooth, vibrant color.
- Balance before you pour: Taste your mixture before straining and adjust lime or simple syrup if needed. Pineapple juices can vary in sweetness.
- For a mocktail version: Skip the rum and use coconut water or top with sparkling water.
