Mermaid Water Cocktail


  • Author: Jessica
  • Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

These ingredients come together to form a powerhouse of flavor:

  • ???? 1 oz spiced rum (like Captain Morgan)

  • ???? 1 oz coconut rum (like Malibu)

  • ???? 2 oz pineapple juice

  • ???? ½ oz fresh lime juice (or from concentrate)

  • ???? ½ oz blue curaçao (adds color and citrus notes)

  • ❄️ Ice, for shaking and serving

  • ???? Maraschino cherry, for garnish

  • ???? Pineapple wedge or lime wheel, for garnish

  • ???? (Optional) Mint sprig or edible glitter for a magical effect


Instructions

Step 1: Fill your shaker
Add a handful of ice to a cocktail shaker. Then pour in:

  • 1 oz spiced rum

  • 1 oz coconut rum

  • 2 oz pineapple juice

  • ½ oz lime juice

  • ½ oz blue curaçao

Step 2: Shake it up
Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds. You want a frothy, cold blend.

Step 3: Pour into glass
Fill a tall glass (like a highball or hurricane glass) with ice. Strain the mixture into the glass.

Step 4: Garnish and serve
Top with a cherry, pineapple wedge, lime slice, or a sprig of mint. For a magical mermaid vibe, add a pinch of edible glitter or serve with a cocktail umbrella.

Step 5: Sip and drift away
Enjoy immediately with a straw or umbrella pick. Every sip is a seaside escape!

Notes

Though there’s no actual “cooking” involved, making this cocktail just right takes a few key tips:

  • Use fresh lime juice if possible—it makes a noticeable difference

  • Shake well to blend the rums and citrus thoroughly

  • Serve immediately—the layers and color are most vivid when freshly poured

  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
