Baja Blast Cocktail
A fun, fizzy turquoise cocktail that layers Baja Blast’s tropical-citrus flavors with white rum (or tequila), blue curaçao, and fresh lime. Chill, shake, top with soda, and sip immediately.

Notes
For a lighter drink, reduce the spirit to 1 oz and skip the simple syrup. Make it slushy by blending everything with crushed ice instead of shaking. Keep the soda and glass well chilled to preserve carbonation and a crisp finish.
