Winter Cocktail Recipe Notes
- Cream of coconut vs. coconut milk – these two items are not at all the same thing. Make sure you are using cream of coconut, which has a thick and rich consistency, and very commonly used in mixed drinks. It’s usually located in the liquor aisle at most grocery stores.
- Swap out the light rum for vodka, if you prefer.
- Make a martini instead – if you don’t want an icy drink, you can easily make a martini instead. In a shaker with ice, shake the pineapple juice, cream of coconut, the rum, and blue curacao. Strain into a martini glass and enjoy.
- Need it without the booze? No problem. Omit the rum and replace the Blue Curacao liquor with Blue Curacao syrup for a non-alcoholic version.
