Ingredients
To make one Mermaid’s Kiss cocktail, you’ll need:
-
2 oz rum (white or coconut rum for a tropical twist)
-
1 oz blue curaçao (adds the iconic blue color and a hint of citrus)
-
1 oz coconut cream (for a creamy, velvety texture)
-
2 oz pineapple juice (for sweetness and tropical depth)
-
1 oz lime juice (adds brightness and balances the sweetness)
-
½ oz simple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
-
1 cup ice cubes
-
Pineapple slice (for garnish)
-
Maraschino cherry (for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Your Cocktail Shaker
Fill a cocktail shaker with one cup of ice cubes to chill the drink while mixing.
Step 2: Add the Ingredients
Pour rum, blue curaçao, coconut cream, pineapple juice, lime juice, and simple syrup (if using) into the shaker. The simple syrup is optional—use it if you prefer a sweeter drink.
Step 3: Shake It Up
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15–20 seconds. This ensures the flavors blend beautifully and the coconut cream becomes frothy.
Step 4: Strain and Serve
Strain the cocktail into a chilled hurricane glass or a tall glass filled with fresh ice. The rich blue color will immediately give you tropical vibes.
Step 5: Garnish and Enjoy
Garnish with a pineapple slice and a maraschino cherry on the rim. You can also add a fun cocktail umbrella or a decorative straw for an extra island feel.
