Step 1: Choose Your Base
Start by picking your spirit of choice. Vodka gives a clean and neutral base that lets the fruity flavors shine. Rum adds a tropical edge, especially white or coconut rum. Pour 2 oz into a shaker or glass.

Step 2: Add the Blue Curaçao
Add 1 oz of blue curaçao. This not only provides that signature vibrant blue color but also lends a subtle orange-citrus note that plays beautifully with the pineapple and lemonade.

Step 3: Pour in the Juices
Add 1 oz of fresh lemonade and 1 oz of pineapple juice. Shake or stir gently to combine. This combination is sweet, tart, and full of that tropical punch vibe.

Step 4: Ice It Up
Fill a tall glass with crushed ice. This step is essential—it’s what gives the “frozen planet” look, especially when the blue liquid flows over it like an arctic waterfall.

Step 5: Combine and Pour
Pour the mixed cocktail slowly over the crushed ice. Watch as the colors swirl and settle into frosty layers.

Step 6: Add the Bubbles
Top it off with a splash of soda water or lemon-lime soda. This adds fizz and keeps the drink refreshing and light on the palate.

Step 7: Garnish Like a Pro
Finish with a fresh fruit medley: orange or lemon wheels, a pineapple wedge, and a few mint leaves for a burst of color and aroma. Optional: add an umbrella or galaxy-themed straw for extra flair.

Step 8: Serve Immediately
This cocktail is best served fresh and frosty. Grab a straw, snap a pic, and sip away!
