Start by gathering all your ingredients. There’s something satisfying about seeing everything you need lined up; it makes the process feel seamless. I recommend measuring your liquids ahead of time; this keeps the chaos to a minimum.

In a cocktail shaker, pour in the Malibu rum, peach liqueur, blue curaçao, and sour mix. You can squeeze in a bit of pineapple juice for an extra fruity kick if your heart desires. I find that the addition creates a fuller mouthfeel.

Once your base is mixed, it’s time for the lemonade. Pour in 6 oz and give the mixture a gentle stir. This step creates the foundational sweetness. Who doesn’t love lemonade in their drink?

Now, fill the shaker with ice. Cover it, and give it a good shake for about 15 seconds. This is where the magic happens. The ice chills everything down and mixes the flavors beautifully. You want everything to meld together while keeping the vibrant taste intact.

Pour the mix into a tall glass filled with ice. The color should be a mesmerizing blue hue. If you’ve chosen to use coconut cream, you might want to drizzle a bit on top for extra flair.

Finish it off with a maraschino cherry and an orange slice. Not only does this add a pop of color, but it also enhances the taste. Sip on this masterpiece and soak in the summer vibes.
