Ocean Wave Cocktail


  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ oz coconut rum

  • 1 oz blue curaçao

  • 2 oz pineapple juice

  • 1 oz coconut cream

  • ½ oz lime juice (freshly squeezed)

  • Ice cubes

  • Pineapple wedge and cherry (for garnish)


Instructions

Step 1: Chill Your Glass

Start by placing your preferred cocktail glass (hurricane or highball glass) in the freezer for a few minutes. This keeps your drink refreshingly cool for longer.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, combine coconut rum, blue curaçao, pineapple juice, coconut cream, and freshly squeezed lime juice.

Step 3: Shake it Up

Fill the shaker with ice cubes and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. This ensures all the flavors blend smoothly and the drink reaches the perfect chilled temperature.

Step 4: Strain and Serve

Strain the mixture into your chilled glass filled with fresh ice cubes.

Step 5: Garnish and Enjoy

Garnish with a pineapple wedge and maraschino cherry for the perfect tropical touch. Insert a straw, take a sip, and let the ocean breeze take over!

Notes

For the creamiest, most luscious texture, be sure to use coconut cream, not coconut milk. Coconut cream is thicker and richer, providing the signature smooth and velvety mouthfeel that makes this cocktail truly indulgent.

💡 Pro Tips for Perfect Consistency:
Shake or Stir Coconut Cream Before Using – If using canned coconut cream, stir it thoroughly before measuring, as it tends to separate into solid and liquid layers. A smooth, well-mixed consistency ensures even blending.
Shake Vigorously – A strong shake (at least 15 seconds) helps fully emulsify the ingredients, preventing separation and creating a beautifully smooth drink.
Use Freshly Chilled Ingredients – This keeps the cocktail cool and refreshing while maintaining its creamy consistency without excess dilution.
Strain If Needed – If you prefer an ultra-smooth finish, strain the cocktail through a fine mesh sieve before serving.
