Ingredients
- 1 oz coconut rum

- 1 oz pineapple juice
- 1 oz cream of coconut
- Whipped cream (for garnish and glass rims)
- Blue sprinkles (for glass rims)
- Maraschino cherry (for garnish)

Instructions
Step 1: Make the Cocktail
In a cocktail shaker, combine the coconut rum, blue curacao, pineapple juice, and cream of coconut. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously until chilled—about 10–15 seconds.
Step 2: Prep the Glasses
Rim each shot glass with a layer of whipped cream, then dip them into blue sprinkles. This gives the shots a festive, beachy look and a sweet edge.
Step 3: Pour and Garnish
Strain the chilled mixture evenly into the rimmed shot glasses. Top each with a dollop of whipped cream and a maraschino cherry.
Step 4: Serve Immediately
These are best served cold and fresh—cheers!
Tips for Success
- Use cold ingredients: Everything chills faster and blends better.
- Cream of coconut is key: It adds richness and sweetness. Don’t substitute with coconut milk or water.
- Make it a cocktail: Pour into a highball glass over ice for a full drink version.
- Need a non-alcoholic version? Swap coconut rum with coconut water and blue curacao with blue Gatorade or a splash of blue raspberry syrup.

Storage & Make-Ahead Tips
- Make-ahead mix: Combine coconut rum, blue curacao, pineapple juice, and cream of coconut in a pitcher and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Shake with ice just before serving.
- Don’t rim too early: Wait until just before serving to add whipped cream and sprinkles or it will melt.
- Chill your glasses for 10 minutes in the freezer for extra refreshment.
