Ingredients

Here’s everything you need to make one serving of the Smurf Island Punch:

1 oz coconut rum 🥥
(Malibu or your favorite brand. Adds that tropical, beachy flavor.)
1 oz blue curaçao 💙
(A citrusy, orange-flavored liqueur that gives the drink its brilliant blue color.)
2 oz pineapple juice 🍍
(For that juicy, sweet-tart tropical backbone.)
1 oz cream of coconut 🥥
(Gives the drink its creamy texture and richness. Use Coco López or similar.)
1 oz lemon-lime soda 🫧
(Sprite, 7UP, or any fizzy lemon-lime drink. Adds sparkle and balances sweetness.)
Ice cubes 🧊
(For shaking and chilling.)
Garnish: Pineapple slice and maraschino cherry 🍍🍒
(Because island cocktails deserve a little flair.)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Glass

Start by selecting a tall cocktail glass, like a hurricane or highball. If you want to go full-on tropical, use a tiki glass or coconut shell. Chill the glass in the freezer or fill it with ice water while you prepare the drink to keep things extra frosty.

Step 2: Combine the Ingredients

In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, pour the following:

1 oz coconut rum
1 oz blue curaçao
2 oz pineapple juice
1 oz cream of coconut

Shake vigorously for about 15–20 seconds. This not only chills the mixture but helps emulsify the cream of coconut with the other liquids.

Step 3: Add Fizz

Strain the mixture into your chilled glass filled with fresh ice. Slowly top with 1 oz lemon-lime soda. Gently stir to incorporate without losing the carbonation.

Step 4: Garnish & Serve

Add a pineapple slice to the rim of the glass and a bright red maraschino cherry on top. If you want to go the extra mile, serve it with a cocktail umbrella, bamboo straw, or even a mini beach ball stirrer.

Notes

Planning a party? You can batch the Smurf Island Punch ahead of time!

For a Pitcher (Makes 6–8 drinks):

1 cup coconut rum
1 cup blue curaçao
2 cups pineapple juice
1 cup cream of coconut

Mix all the above ingredients in a large pitcher or jug except for the lemon-lime soda and ice. Refrigerate until ready to serve. When serving, pour over ice and top each glass with soda individually to maintain the fizz.

Store leftover mix (without soda) in the fridge for up to 2 days.
