Blue Curacao Punch Cocktail Recipe

I usually whip up this punch when I want a drink that’s colorful and good for a group. The mix of citrus, tropical fruit, and rum just works for parties.

Equipment

• Punch bowl or a big pitcher—whatever you’ve got handy.
• Blender if you’re in the mood for a creamier or frozen version.
• Measuring cups and jiggers to keep things on track.
• Long spoon for mixing everything up.
• Ladle for serving.
• Cocktail umbrellas or quirky straws, if you want to dress it up.
• Ice bucket or big ice cubes to keep things cool without watering it down too fast.

I always go for a clear punch bowl—the blue just looks better that way.

Ingredients

• 1 cup blue curaçao
• 1 cup coconut rum (or white rum if you’re not into coconut)
• 1 cup vodka
• 3 cups pineapple juice
• 1 cup lemon juice (fresh is best, if you ask me)
• ½ cup simple syrup (taste and tweak as you go)
• 1 cup coconut cream or cream of coconut if you want it richer
• 3–4 cups ice or frozen pineapple chunks
• Fresh pineapple slices, cherries, or citrus wheels for garnish

I usually play with the syrup depending on who’s drinking—some folks like it sweeter, some don’t.

Instructions

• Pour the blue curaçao, coconut rum, vodka, pineapple juice, lemon juice, and simple syrup into your punch bowl.
• Stir it all up with a long spoon until it’s nicely mixed.
• If I’m feeling like a creamy punch, I add the coconut cream; if not, I skip it for something lighter.
• Toss in plenty of ice to keep it cold.
• Top it off with pineapple slices, cherries, or citrus wheels.
• Scoop into glasses, and if you’re feeling festive, throw in a cocktail umbrella.

Sometimes I blend some of the punch with ice for a frozen twist, then pour it back in.

Notes

I’ve found this punch tastes best when it’s icy cold and fresh. If it sits too long, the ice melts and the flavor gets a bit weak.

For a stronger kick, I’ll bump up the vodka or rum. When I want it lighter, I just add more juice.

If I’m craving a creamy, tropical vibe, I go for cream of coconut. But if I want it super refreshing, I leave it out.

Scaling up is easy—just double or triple everything for a bigger crowd, and the flavors still balance out nicely.

Tasting Notes

When I take that first sip, the bright citrus flavor jumps out at me. The orange notes from the Blue Curacao really shine, giving the drink this sweet but slightly tangy kick.

The punch comes across as smooth and super refreshing. I’m honestly surprised by how the sweetness and that little bit of tartness play off each other—it keeps things light, not heavy.

Visually, I just love the blue cocktail color. That vibrant shade screams tropical drink, and honestly, it sets the vibe before I even taste anything.

As I keep sipping, I pick up on some gentle hints of fruit from the mixers. They bring in a juicy layer that works nicely with that citrusy base.

The finish? It’s clean and crisp. I get a touch of lingering sweetness on my tongue, but it never feels too much.
