Step 1: Gather & Chill

• Use chilled juices and grenadine for best results.

• Chill your glass beforehand, especially if using a hurricane or highball glass.

Step 2: Build the Cocktail Base

In a cocktail shaker, combine:

• 1 oz white rum

• 1 oz blue curaçao

• 1 oz mango nectar

• 1 oz pineapple juice

• ½ oz lime juice

• ½ oz simple syrup (if using)

• Add a scoop of ice

Shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds to blend and chill the ingredients thoroughly.

Step 3: Strain Into Glass

• Fill a tall glass (hurricane, highball, or curved tiki glass) with fresh ice.

• Strain the blue mixture over the ice.

Step 4: Create the Swirl

• Slowly pour ½ oz grenadine down the inside edge of the glass.

• The grenadine will sink and then begin to swirl upward, creating a dynamic “twister” visual.

• Do not stir—the swirl happens naturally for that tidepool illusion.

Step 5: Garnish

• Add a lime wheel to the rim.

• Place a mango slice or pineapple wedge on the side.

• Finish with an edible flower or a tiny cocktail umbrella for a festive tropical touch.
