Ingredients
For the Cocktail:
-
1.5 oz white rum
-
1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
-
1 oz coconut cream
-
1/2 oz blue curaçao
-
1 oz pineapple juice
-
Splash of club soda
-
Crushed ice
For Garnish:
-
Lime wheel
-
Fresh mint sprig
-
Edible flower (optional, for a romantic tropical vibe)
Instructions
1. Chill Your Glass
Start by chilling your glass. A stemless wine glass, a highball, or a curved tiki glass works beautifully for Lime Lagoon Love. Add ice or place the glass in the freezer for a few minutes while preparing the drink.
2. Mix the Base
In a cocktail shaker, add:
-
White rum
-
Fresh lime juice
-
Coconut cream
-
Pineapple juice
-
Blue curaçao
Add a scoop of crushed ice, seal the shaker, and shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds until well chilled and combined. The coconut cream will blend with the citrus juices to create a luscious, smooth texture.
3. Pour and Top
Remove your glass from the freezer or discard the ice used for chilling. Fill the glass with fresh crushed ice.
Strain the mixture over the ice, allowing the pale lagoon-blue cocktail to swirl and settle like ocean waves. Top with a splash of club soda for a bubbly finish that lifts the flavors and adds a touch of sparkle.
4. Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a lime wheel on the rim, a fresh mint sprig tucked into the ice, and an edible flower floating atop for a showstopping look. Serve immediately with a reusable straw or sip stick.
Notes
The color of Lime Lagoon Love is one of its most mesmerizing traits — a dreamy turquoise blue-green hue reminiscent of tropical waters. The magic happens with the interplay of blue curaçao and the yellowish tone of pineapple juice. For the best color effect, use light-colored pineapple juice and coconut cream instead of coconut milk, which is thinner and less opaque.
Also, be sure to shake well, as coconut cream can separate if not properly emulsified.
