Step 1: Chill Your Shot Glasses

Place your shot glasses in the freezer about 10–15 minutes before serving to get a frosty edge that complements the tropical chill of the drink.

Step 2: Prepare the Cocktail Shaker

Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice cubes. The ice will help emulsify the cream of coconut and chill the liquid for a smooth sip.

Step 3: Add the Liquids

Into the shaker, pour:

• 1 oz coconut rum

• 1 oz blue curaçao

• 1 oz pineapple juice

• 1 oz cream of coconut

This mix will already begin to look rich and vibrant.

Step 4: Shake It Like You Mean It

Seal the shaker and give it a vigorous shake for about 15–20 seconds. You want the ingredients to blend into a creamy, silky mix and the ice to properly chill the shot.

Step 5: Strain and Pour

Strain the mixture into chilled shot glasses. The color should be a rich, tropical turquoise—like something straight out of a beachside tiki bar.

Step 6: Garnish (Optional but Fun)

Top each shot with a dollop of whipped cream, a dusting of blue sprinkles, and if you like, a maraschino cherry. Serve immediately before the whipped cream melts.
