  • Total Time: 5 min

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients (Makes 2–3 Shots)

  • 1 oz coconut-flavored rum (Malibu or similar)

  • 1 oz pineapple juice

  • ½ oz blue curaçao

  • 1 cup crushed ice

Optional Garnish

  • Shredded coconut

  • Tiny pineapple slice

  • Mini cocktail umbrella


Instructions

Preparation

Step 1: Add everything to the blender
In your blender, combine 1 oz coconut rum, 1 oz pineapple juice, ½ oz blue curaçao, and 1 cup crushed ice.

Step 2: Blend until smooth
Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and frosty, resembling a slushy consistency.

Step 3: Pour into shot glasses
Carefully pour the blended mixture into shot glasses, filling each right to the brim. The vivid turquoise color will catch the light beautifully.

Step 4: Garnish if desired
Sprinkle shredded coconut on top for a snowy effect, or wedge a tiny pineapple slice onto the rim of each shot glass.

Step 5: Serve immediately
Enjoy immediately while icy and fresh. Turn up the beach tunes and slip into full vacation mode.

Notes

  • Using crushed ice helps the drink blend faster and gives it the perfect slushy consistency

  • Always blend just before serving to maintain texture

  • Coconut-flavored rum gives a tropical sweetness that pairs perfectly with the tartness of blue curaçao

  • Pineapple juice adds natural tropical tartness and balances the sweet coconut

  • Chill your shot glasses beforehand for even longer-lasting frostiness
