Description

A blue spirulina swirled frozen piña colada that the little mermaid would approve of!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 oz lemonade, frozen
    2 oz white rum
  • 2 oz coconut cream
  • 1/2 oz pineapple juice, frozen*
  • 1/2 banana sliced, frozen*
  • 2 dashes angostura bitters
  • 1 capsules spirulina/blue green algae
  • garnish: pineapple leaves, starfruit, kiwi, coconut flakes
    optional: white cocktail seashells

Instructions

  • Start by freezing lemonade and pineapple juice in an ice cube tray a few hours before making a cocktail. Add sliced banana into a plastic bag and freeze until frozen.

    Add the first 6 ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour a quarter of the drink into a hurricane glass or tall glass. Open the capsules of spirulina over the blender to get the
    powder out.

    Blend 1 second, it will be swirled. Slowly pour the rest of the cocktail into the glass.

    Using a chopstick or pick, swirl the two layers to create an ombré effect. Garnish with pineapple
    leaves, tropical fruit, and coconut flakes.

    *This is so you do not have to use ice to create the frozen drink which means more flavor and less water


Notes

Glass: fluted or hurricane glass
