Ingredients
Scale
Base Spirits:
- 1 ounce (30 milliliters) vodka
- 3/4 ounce (22 milliliters) spiced rum
Liqueurs and Mixers:
- 3/4 ounce (22 milliliters) blue curacao liqueur
- 6 ounces (177 milliliters) orange juice
- 1/4 ounce (7 milliliters) grenadine syrup
Serving and Garnish:
- Ice cubes
- Maraschino cherry (optional)
- Orange slice (optional)
Instructions
- Chill a tall Collins glass by filling it completely with crystal-clear ice cubes.
- Gently cascade vodka into the glass, creating a transparent base for the cocktail.
- Introduce blue curaçao, which will transform the drink’s color to a mesmerizing azure tone.
- Pour spiced rum smoothly, allowing it to blend subtly with the existing liquid.
- Stream fresh orange juice into the glass, watching the vibrant colors swirl and intermingle.
- Using the back of a decorative spoon, delicately introduce grenadine syrup, which will dramatically sink to the bottom, creating a stunning layered gradient effect.
- Crown the cocktail with a plump maraschino cherry and a zesty orange slice, positioned artfully on the glass rim.
- Present immediately to capture the drink’s dynamic visual appeal and ensure maximum flavor freshness.
Notes
- Chill the glass beforehand to keep the cocktail extra cool and prevent rapid ice melting.
- Use fresh orange juice for a brighter, more authentic flavor that elevates the entire drink’s profile.
- Pour grenadine carefully over the back of a spoon to achieve a perfect gradient layering effect without mixing.
- For a non-alcoholic version, replace spirits with blue sports drink and orange juice, maintaining the stunning visual appeal.
