Ingredients
Scale
Main Spirits:
- 2 ounces (59 milliliters) Empress 1908 Gin
- 1 ounce (30 milliliters) blue curacao
Mixers and Creamy Elements:
- 1 ounce (30 milliliters) coconut cream
- 2 ounces (59 milliliters) pineapple juice
Garnish and Rimming:
- Ice cubes
- Shredded coconut
- Honey or simple syrup
Instructions
- Create a wintery rim for the glass by brushing the edge with honey, then delicately pressing it into a bed of finely shredded coconut to achieve a glistening, snow-like appearance.
- Fill a cocktail shaker with a generous measure of Empress Gin, creating a vibrant purple-blue base that transforms as the liquid moves.
- Pour blue curaçao into the shaker, which will enhance the cocktail’s ethereal color palette and add a subtle citrus undertone.
- Introduce smooth coconut cream to the mixture, ensuring a velvety texture that softens the gin’s botanical profile.
- Add fresh pineapple juice to brighten the overall flavor and contribute a tropical dimension to the wintry drink.
- Tumble a substantial handful of ice cubes into the shaker to chill and dilute the ingredients slightly.
- Seal the shaker and execute a vigorous, rhythmic shake for approximately 25 seconds, allowing the ingredients to harmonize and reach optimal temperature.
- Position a cocktail strainer over the prepared coconut-rimmed glass and carefully pour the liquid, creating a smooth, seamless transition.
- Elevate the presentation by sprinkling additional coconut across the surface or positioning a delicate edible flower as a final, elegant touch.
- Serve immediately to capture the drink’s pristine temperature and stunning visual appeal.
Notes
- Choose high-quality blue curaçao for the most vibrant color and authentic tropical taste.
- Chill the cocktail shaker and glass beforehand to keep the drink extra cold and refreshing.
- Adjust the coconut cream ratio for a lighter or creamier texture depending on personal preference.
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute Empress Gin with coconut water or pineapple-flavored sparkling water.
