Ingredients

1 oz light rum
½ oz blue curaçao
1 oz orange juice
½ tsp lime juice
1 tsp powdered sugar (for the rim)
Ice cubes
Lime slice (for garnish)
Optional Add-ins:
1 oz lemon-lime soda (for fizz)
Splash of coconut water (for a tropical twist)
Edible glitter or blue sugar for extra sparkle

Instructions

Preparation Prepare your glass

Step 1: Rim the glass
Pour 1 teaspoon of powdered sugar onto a small plate. Moisten the rim of your cocktail glass with a lime wedge, then dip it into the sugar to coat the rim evenly. This adds a subtle sweetness to each sip and gives the drink a clean, frosty appearance.

Mix the drink

Step 2: Add ingredients to shaker
In a cocktail shaker, add 1 oz light rum, ½ oz blue curaçao, 1 oz orange juice, ½ tsp lime juice, and a generous handful of ice. These ingredients will combine to create a vivid blue color and a balanced flavor between citrus and sweetness.
Step 3: Shake well
Shake the mixture vigorously for 15–20 seconds to chill the cocktail and blend the flavors evenly. You want the shaker to feel cold in your hands before pouring.

Strain and garnish

Step 4: Pour and finish
Strain the drink into your prepared glass. If you’d like to serve it on the rocks, fill the glass with fresh ice first. Garnish with a lime slice on the rim or floating in the drink. Optionally, add a touch of blue sugar or edible glitter for visual flair.

Notes

Use fresh-squeezed orange and lime juice for the best flavor and brightness.
Always shake with ice to achieve a properly chilled and diluted drink.
You can substitute white rum with silver tequila for a Blue Devil Margarita-style twist.
Blue curaçao is sweet and slightly bitter, so balance it with citrus and sugar for a smooth taste.
If making for a crowd, mix in a pitcher and stir well, then pour over ice.
