Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Jigger
  • Bar spoon
  • Strainer
  • Hurricane glass
  • Ice scoop or tongs
  • Small funnel (optional)

Ingredients

  • 0.5 oz vodka
  • 0.5 oz gin
  • 0.5 oz tequila
  • 0.5 oz triple sec
  • 0.5 oz spiced rum
  • 1 oz sour mix
  • 1 oz pineapple juice
  • 1 oz orange juice
  • 0.5 oz cranberry juice
  • 0.5 oz blue raspberry syrup pour slowly to sink
  • ice cubes for shaking and serving
  • orange slice or cherry for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add vodka, gin, tequila, triple sec, spiced rum, sour mix, pineapple juice, orange juice, and cranberry juice.
  • Shake for 10–15 seconds until well chilled.
  • Fill a hurricane glass with fresh ice and strain the shaken mixture into the glass, leaving a little space at the top.
  • Slowly pour the blue raspberry syrup down the side of the glass or over the back of a bar spoon so it sinks and creates layers.
  • Let the colors settle for a few seconds. Garnish with an orange slice or a cherry and serve immediately.

Notes

Use fresh juices for brighter flavor. Adjust strength by reducing the juices for a stronger drink or skipping the tequila for lighter. Pour the syrup slowly—its higher density helps it settle for that sunset effect.
