Notes
Tasting Notes
The first sip? Sweet and fruity, with pineapple stealing the show. That blue color comes from the curaçao syrup—it throws in a little citrus, too.
The mocktail’s smooth, and if you add soda or sparkling water, it gets a gentle fizz. I love how cold and refreshing it is, especially poured over a mountain of ice.
Here’s what stands out to me:
- Color: Bright blue—almost electric
- Aroma: Sweet pineapple, with just a whiff of orange
- Taste: Pineapple up front, coconut in the background, a bit of citrus
- Mouthfeel: Smooth, maybe a little fizzy, definitely cooling
I like to throw on a pineapple slice or cherry for garnish—makes it smell great and look even better. The coconut isn’t overpowering, so it’s easy to sip.
Not into sweet drinks? Use less syrup or splash in extra soda to balance it out.
