Galaxy Piña Colada: A Cosmic Twist on a Tropical Classic


  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 oz white rum

  • 2 oz pineapple juice

  • 2 oz coconut cream

  • 1 oz blue curaçao (for layering effect)

  • ½ oz lime juice

  • 1 cup ice cubes

  • Edible glitter (optional, for a cosmic effect)

  • Pineapple wedge (for garnish)

  • Maraschino cherry (for garnish)


Instructions

1. Chill Your Glass: Place a hurricane or highball glass in the freezer for a few minutes to keep your drink cold and enhance its presentation.

2. Blend the Base: In a blender, combine white rum, pineapple juice, coconut cream, lime juice, and ice cubes. Blend until smooth and creamy. If using edible glitter, add a small amount to the mixture before blending to create a shimmering effect.

3. Create the Cosmic Swirl: Pour the blended mixture into your chilled glass, leaving some space at the top. Slowly pour the blue curaçao over the drink. Since the curaçao is denser than the blended mixture, it will naturally settle toward the bottom, creating a beautiful layered look. You can gently swirl the drink with a straw or stirrer to enhance the galaxy effect.

4. Garnish & Serve: Top your Galaxy Piña Colada with a pineapple wedge and a maraschino cherry. For extra celestial appeal, sprinkle a pinch of edible glitter on top. Serve immediately and enjoy the cosmic flavors!

Notes

For the best texture, use full-fat coconut cream instead of coconut milk. The richness of the coconut cream ensures a smooth and creamy consistency, making the drink even more indulgent. If you want a more dramatic swirling effect, slowly pour the blue curaçao over the back of a spoon to layer it evenly.
