  • 1 oz blue curaçao

  • 1 oz peach schnapps

  • 2 oz pineapple juice

  • Splash of lemon-lime soda or Sprite

  • Ice cubes

Optional Garnish

  • Pineapple wedge

  • Maraschino cherry

  • Paper umbrella

Preparation

Step 1: Fill your glass with ice
Grab a tall cocktail or highball glass and fill it to the top with ice.

Step 2: Pour the liquors
Add 1 oz coconut rum, 1 oz blue curaçao, and 1 oz peach schnapps directly over the ice.

Step 3: Add the juice
Pour in 2 oz pineapple juice. Give the drink a gentle stir to mix the ingredients and enhance the vibrant blue color.

Step 4: Top with soda
Add a splash of lemon-lime soda or Sprite for a fizzy finish. This lightens the drink and makes it even more refreshing.

Step 5: Garnish and serve
Top with a pineapple wedge, cherry, or even a paper umbrella for beachy flair. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy the coastal vibes.

Variation

  • Frozen Beach Water: Blend ingredients with ice for a slushy version

  • Extra Citrus: Add a splash of lime juice or orange juice for more tang

  • Tropical Twist: Add a splash of mango nectar or passion fruit juice

  • Non-Alcoholic Version: Use coconut water, blue sports drink, and pineapple juice with a splash of Sprite

  • Boozier Blend: Add ½ oz vodka for an extra kick

Cooking Note

  • Use chilled ingredients to keep the drink cold and reduce dilution

  • For a layered look, add blue curaçao last and pour it slowly over the back of a spoon

  • Adjust sweetness by reducing soda or using unsweetened pineapple juice

  • The soda adds light fizz and balances the sweetness of the schnapps and juice

  • Choose 100% pineapple juice for a more natural, less sugary profile

Tips

  • Use crushed ice for a more tiki-style presentation

  • For a bolder blue color, slightly increase the blue curaçao

  • Rim the glass with sugar or shredded coconut for a decorative touch

  • Serve in clear glasses to show off the color contrast

  • Great for summer parties, beach weddings, or tropical-themed events
