Step 1: Chill Your Glass

Place a hurricane or curved cocktail glass in the freezer while you prepare the drink. A chilled glass will help maintain the visual separation of the blue curaçao and add a frosty elegance to the presentation.

Step 2: Blend the Piña Colada Base

In a blender, combine the following:

• 2 oz white rum

• 2 oz pineapple juice

• 2 oz coconut cream

• ½ oz lime juice

• 1 cup ice cubes

• (Optional) Add a pinch of edible glitter for a magical shimmer throughout.

Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy — almost like a thick tropical slush. This forms the rich, dreamy body of the Galaxy Piña Colada.

Step 3: Pour the Mixture

Remove your chilled glass from the freezer and pour the blended mixture slowly into the glass, leaving about ½ inch of space at the top for the blue curaçao layer.

Step 4: Add the Galaxy Effect

Very gently, pour 1 oz of blue curaçao over the back of a spoon just above the drink’s surface. This will help create a layered effect, with the electric blue hue cascading and swirling through the creamy base like a nebula across the night sky.

Step 5: Add the Garnishes

• Garnish with a pineapple wedge placed on the rim of the glass.

• Drop or skewer a maraschino cherry for a pop of vibrant red contrast.

• Sprinkle a dash of edible glitter on top for that final celestial sparkle.
