Ingredients
Blue Bottom Layer:
-
½ oz coconut rum
-
½ oz blue curaçao
-
Ice cubes
Pink Top Layer:
-
½ oz vodka
-
½ oz raspberry liqueur
-
¼ oz fresh lime juice
-
Ice cubes
Garnish:
-
Tiny pineapple wedge or a sliver of fresh strawberry
Instructions
Step 1: Chill the Shot Glasses
Before you begin, place your shot glasses in the freezer for about 5-10 minutes. Chilled glasses help keep the layers separated and ensure a refreshing sip.
Step 2: Prepare the Blue Bottom Layer
-
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes.
-
Pour in the coconut rum and blue curaçao.
-
Shake well for about 10 seconds to chill the mixture.
-
Carefully strain the blue mixture into a shot glass, filling it halfway.
Step 3: Create the Pink Top Layer
-
Rinse the cocktail shaker and add fresh ice.
-
Pour in the vodka, raspberry liqueur, and fresh lime juice.
-
Shake well for another 10 seconds to chill the ingredients.
Step 4: Layer the Shot
-
Hold a spoon upside down just above the blue layer in the shot glass.
-
Slowly pour the pink mixture over the back of the spoon. This will help it sit on top of the blue layer without mixing, creating a beautiful layered effect.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
-
Add a tiny pineapple wedge or a sliver of fresh strawberry to the rim of the shot glass for a tropical touch.
-
Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
-
Always use fresh lime juice instead of bottled lime juice for the best flavor.
-
Pouring the second layer slowly and using a spoon for layering is key to achieving the perfect separation of colors.
-
If the layers mix slightly, let the drink settle for a few seconds before serving.
