- 2 cups ice cubes 🧊
- 1 pineapple slice 🍍 (for garnish)

Directions:
-
Blend Thoroughly: Start by placing the Jamaican rum, blue curaçao, and cream of coconut into a blender. Add 2 cups of ice cubes to the mix. Blend the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and frothy. The ice should be finely crushed, creating a beautifully blended cocktail that’s both creamy and cool.

-
Add More Ice if Needed: If the mixture seems too liquid or if you prefer a thicker consistency, feel free to add more ice cubes. Blend again until you achieve your desired texture. The ice not only chills the drink but also enhances its creamy texture, giving it that perfect frothy finish.
-
Pour Into Specialty Glass: Carefully pour the blended mixture into a specialty glass, ideally one with a tropical or fun design to complement the vibrant color of your cocktail. The blue hue of the blue curaçao will create a stunning visual appeal.
-
Garnish and Serve: Garnish your drink with a slice of pineapple and a maraschino cherry for an extra touch of elegance and tropical flair. The garnish not only adds a burst of color but also a hint of additional flavor that enhances the overall experience.
