Ingredients
  

Cocktail
  • 2 oz Light Rum
  • 1 oz Blue Curaçao liqueur
  • 2 oz Cream of Coconut e.g., Coco Lopez (stirred well)
  • 2 oz Pineapple Juice 100% juice
  • 1 cup Ice cubes for shaking
  • 1 cup Crushed Ice for serving
Garnish
  • 1 wedge Fresh Pineapple
  • 1 Maraschino Cherry
  • 1 slice Fresh Orange optional

Equipment

  • Cocktail Shaker
  • Hurricane Glass
  • Jigger or measuring cups

Method
 

  1. Chill a Hurricane glass in the freezer or fill with ice water to frost.
  2. In a cocktail shaker, combine the light rum, blue curaçao, cream of coconut, and pineapple juice. Be sure the cream of coconut is well-stirred before measuring.
  3. Fill the shaker halfway with ice cubes. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds to completely emulsify the coconut cream.
  4. Empty the chilling water from your Hurricane glass and fill it to the brim with fresh crushed ice.
  5. Strain the vibrant blue cocktail mixture over the crushed ice in the glass.
  6. Garnish lavishly with a fresh pineapple wedge, a maraschino cherry, and an orange slice. Add a straw and serve immediately.

Notes

To make this a frozen blended cocktail, add all liquid ingredients to a high-powered blender with 1.5 cups of crushed ice and blend until smooth and slushy.
