Why I Love This Recipe
This drink is pure escapism in a glass. It’s:
- Fruity and sweet with layers of pineapple and vanilla.
- Vibrantly blue, thanks to the magical touch of blue curaçao.
- Versatile — go fizzy with soda or smooth with coconut cream.
- Glitter-ready (yes, edible glitter is encouraged here).
It’s basically the Slippery Drank‘s wild cousin that lives in a beach cabana and sings siren songs.
🧾 Ingredients (Serves 8–10)
- 2 cups pineapple juice 🍍
- 1 cup pineapple rum
- 1 cup vanilla rum
- ½ cup blue curaçao (more if you want it ultra-blue)
- 1 cup coconut water or lemon-lime soda (for hydration with sass)
- Optional: splash of lime juice or coconut cream for flavor depth
- Crushed ice 🧊
Garnishes:
- Pineapple chunks 🍍
- Maraschino cherries 🍒
- Edible glitter ✨
- Mini umbrellas, plastic mermaids, or gummy sharks (optional but fun)
🍹 How to Make It
1️⃣ Mix the Magic:
In a large pitcher or punch bowl, stir together:
- Pineapple juice
- Pineapple rum
- Vanilla rum
- Blue curaçao
- Coconut water or soda
If you want to layer in flavor or a dreamy swirl, add a splash of lime juice or coconut cream.
2️⃣ Chill It Down:
Add crushed ice generously. The punch should be ice-cold and slightly slushy — think beach bar vibes on a heatwave day.
3️⃣ Garnish Like a Sea Queen:
Drop in pineapple chunks and cherries. Sprinkle edible glitter on top if you’re feeling whimsical. The goal: aquatic glam.
4️⃣ Serve with Sass:
Ladle into tall glasses. Garnish with fruit, a neon straw, or a cocktail umbrella. Bonus points for a floating mermaid figurine or gummy sharks on the rim.
💡 Party Tips
- Make it slushy: Blend half the punch with ice and layer it back in the bowl for a dreamy frozen version.
- Add bubbles: Stir in a bottle of Prosecco for an effervescent upgrade.
- Color contrast: Use pink or purple edible glitter for a mermaid tail swirl effect.
- Serve with snacks: Think Unicorn Poop Bark or Jolly Rancher Shot Glasses for full party power.
Storage & Make-Ahead Tips
- Mix the base (everything except soda and ice) up to 24 hours in advance and chill.
- Add soda and ice right before serving to keep things fizzy and cold.
- Leftovers? Store in the fridge and blend with ice the next day for a boozy slushie.
