These ingredients come together to form a powerhouse of flavor:

Step 1: Fill a shaker with ice

Start by filling your cocktail shaker halfway with fresh ice cubes. This will chill the ingredients quickly for a perfectly cold shot.

Step 2: Add the coconut rum and pineapple juice

Pour the smooth coconut rum and sweet pineapple juice into the shaker. These two create the creamy, tropical backbone of the shot.

Step 3: Add blue Curaçao and lime juice

Pour in the vibrant blue Curaçao and freshly squeezed lime juice for citrusy brightness and that iconic blue color.

Step 4: Add simple syrup (optional)

If you prefer a sweeter punch shot, add half an ounce of simple syrup here. Shake gently to mix.

Step 5: Shake well and strain

Shake the mixture vigorously for about 10 seconds. Then strain into shot glasses or mini cocktail glasses.

Step 6: Garnish and serve

Garnish with a small wedge of pineapple or a fresh mint leaf for a refreshing aroma and pretty presentation.

While this recipe doesn’t require cooking, here are some tips to make your Bikini Bottom Punch Shot shine:

Use fresh lime juice for best flavor — bottled lime juice lacks brightness.
Don’t over-shake; a quick, vigorous shake chills and combines without diluting too much.
For the blue color to really pop, use good-quality blue Curaçao.
