Ingredients
- 1 cup ice cubes (or enough to fill the glass)
- 1 ounce Midori (melon liqueur)
- 1 ounce white rum
- 2 ounces pineapple juice
- 1 ounce blue curacao
- Lime slices, for garnish (optional)
- Maraschino cherries, for garnish (optional)
- Prepare the glass: Start by filling your glass with ice cubes to chill the drink and keep it refreshingly cold.
- Mix Midori, rum, and pineapple juice: In a cocktail shaker or mixing glass filled with ice, pour in 1 ounce of Midori, 1 ounce of white rum, and 2 ounces of pineapple juice. Shake or stir gently to combine and chill the mixture thoroughly.
- Add the blue curacao: Carefully pour 1 ounce of blue curacao into the glass over the ice cubes. For a layered effect, add the blue curacao slowly so it floats on top of the Midori mixture.
- Combine the drink: Slowly pour the mixed Midori, rum, and pineapple juice blend over or under the blue curacao, depending on your desired layering effect, to create the signature colorful look of the Tipsy Mermaid.
- Garnish and serve: Add lime slices and maraschino cherries for a festive and appealing finish. Serve immediately and enjoy your tropical cocktail.
Notes
- To achieve a beautiful layered effect, pour the blue curacao slowly over the back of a spoon when adding it to the glass.
- You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of pineapple juice according to your taste.
- For a stronger cocktail, increase the rum quantity slightly while keeping other ingredients balanced.
- Use fresh lime slices and good-quality maraschino cherries for the best garnish presentation.
