1. Prepare Your Glass

Choose a clear, curved cocktail glass such as a stemless wine glass, highball, or large coupe. Chill it in the freezer for a few minutes or fill it with crushed ice while preparing the cocktail.

2. Mix the Tropical Base

In a cocktail shaker, combine the following:

• Coconut rum

• Passion fruit liqueur or juice

• Mango nectar

• Pineapple juice

• Lime juice

Add a generous pinch of edible shimmer powder. This is what gives the cocktail its swirling, glowing “stardust” effect.

Add a scoop of crushed ice and shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds until chilled and well mixed.

3. Layer with Blue Curaçao

Fill your chilled serving glass with fresh crushed ice. Strain the tropical mix into the glass, letting the shimmer settle in.

Slowly pour the blue curaçao over the back of a spoon onto the drink. This technique helps create a layered swirl effect, with the blue liquor settling at the base and gradually mixing with the golden juice tones.

4. Garnish with Galactic Flair

Top with a dehydrated lime wheel or pineapple slice, and if you have it, a starfruit slice to emphasize the stardust theme. Add a sprinkle of edible glitter for a dazzling finish. Serve immediately with a clear straw or spoon to gently stir and watch the swirl come alive.
