Blue Christmas co*cktail - My Incredible Recipes (2024)

This blue Christmas co*cktail is going to be the highlight of the evening. A pineapple juice and Blue Curacao-based coconut milk co*cktail that is paired with white rum. Elegant, colorful, and sippably sweet. The perfect Christmas co*cktail that offers will win over everyone with a single sip.

While we see a lot of red and white drinks, I wanted to create a light blue drink that gives you that frozen chill of winter when you look at it. The coconut flake garnished rim really elevates this drink.

Reasons To Try This Blue Christmas co*cktail

• Simple ingredients, which make it easy to throw together for a co*cktail party!
• Light, refreshing, and bursting with tropical flavor.
• The perfect co*cktail for a blue-themed or holiday-themed party.
• Gorgeous blue drink that is boozy and adult-approved.
• Comes together in minutes for a last-minute drink idea.

Ingredients Needed

• Pineapple Juice – This is a fantastic juice to mix into co*cktails. It adds a tropical vibe but also is the perfect acidic component to balance out the ingredients.
• Blue Curacao – A bit of this is going to totally be your secret weapon for this drink. Plus it offers a gorgeous color.
• Coconut Milk – I recommend coconut milk or cream of coconut. It helps to create a creamy texture but has a small coconut flavor added to the tropical drink.
• Rum – White rum is recommended, as a spiced rum could clash a bit with the other ingredients.
• Ice – Reach for ice to serve your drink nice and chilled!
• Rim Glass – Honey and coconut flakes are what I used for rimming the glass. This is optional of course.

Variations to Recipe

• Add a splash of carbonated water or lemon-lime soda for a fizzy texture. You could even do a ginger ale.
• Garnish with a pineapple slice, maraschino cherries, or even a few blueberries and raspberries on a toothpick.
• Blend with ice to make a frozen blue Christmas co*cktail instead of serving over ice.
• Add in some muddled mint leaves to make more of a pineapple mojito vibe. This is delicious and you will love the pineapple and mint pairing.
• Line the rim of the glass with toasted coconut for a twist in flavor.
• Want to make it non-alcoholic? Simply leave out the alcohol and use fruit juice like orange to replace blue curacao, and then use soda for the rum.
• Add red syrup like Grenadine to the bottom of the glass and slowly pour in the co*cktail for a gradient look. This is a fun twist to the co*cktail.
• Rim the glass with chili powder for a spicy kick in flavor. You could even garnish it with some sliced jalapenos.

Pro Tips For Success

Chill Ingredients

I always recommend starting with chilled ingredients. This is going to help create a refreshing drink that is nice and chilled and ready for sipping once it gets mixed up.

Measuring Ingredients

If you are new to making co*cktails I recommend using measuring cups or a jigger for measuring. This is going to ensure that you get the same consistent flavor with each co*cktail you mix up.

Strength Of co*cktail

You can add less or more alcohol to make the drink stronger or lighter to fit your preference. You can add an extra shot or two if you want a pretty strong co*cktail. Or do half a shot to make it a bit lighter.

Mix Well

Feel free to reach for a co*cktail shaker or a stir stick. Mix well to ensure all the ingredients get fully mixed up. Otherwise, you will get an inconsistent flavor when you sip.

Rimming Glass

Adding a little honey on the rim of the glass is going to make it super sticky. That way when you roll in the coconut flakes it will stick to the rim of the glass. Now, this is an optional step but it does make a gorgeous presentation value.

Strain co*cktail

If you want a super smooth co*cktail for sipping, you can strain it before you pour it into the co*cktail glass. If your pineapple juice has pulp in it this is a great way to remove it from the drink.

Storing

This co*cktail is one that is best served fresh. If you happen to have some of the blue Christmas co*cktail left you can strain off ice and store it in the fridge for a day. Then mix well and pour into a glass with ice. The flavors will change just a bit but it will still taste delicious.
