Ingredients
Scale
2 cups frozen pineapple chunks (about 10 ounces)
4 ounces coconut cream (well-stirred)
1 ounce fresh lime juice (from about 1 medium lime)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ounces simple syrup
1 cup ice cubes
2 ounces non-alcoholic blue curaçao syrup
1/4 teaspoon edible glitter (food-safe)
Garnish options: pineapple wedges, maraschino cherries, colorful straws
Instructions
- Place 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks, 4 ounces coconut cream, 1 ounce lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 ounces simple syrup, and 1 cup ice in a blender.
- Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 30-45 seconds. The mixture should be thick but pourable.
- Chill two hurricane glasses or tall glasses in the freezer for a few minutes.
- Pour the blended mixture into the chilled glasses, filling about three-quarters full.
- Slowly pour 1 ounce of blue curaçao syrup down the inside of each glass, allowing it to sink naturally. For best results, pour it over the back of a spoon to control the flow.
- Using a long spoon or straw, gently swirl the mixture to create your galaxy effect. Don’t overmix – you want distinct blue swirls.
- Sprinkle each drink with a pinch of edible glitter.
- Garnish with a pineapple wedge and/or maraschino cherry on the rim of the glass.
- Serve immediately with a colorful straw.
Notes
- To make simple syrup: Combine equal parts granulated sugar and water in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves completely. Cool before using. Keeps refrigerated for up to 2 weeks
- For the brightest blue color: Pour the blue curaçao syrup last and swirl minimally to maintain distinct color separation.
- Storage tip: This drink is best enjoyed immediately after preparation, as the galaxy effect will gradually fade as the ingredients settle.
