🧠 Flavor Profile Breakdown
Vodka
Vodka is our neutral base spirit, giving strength without overpowering the tropical flavors.
Blue Curaçao
This bright blue liqueur provides a tangy orange flavor and contributes to the vibrant purple hue when mixed with cranberry and grenadine.
Grenadine
A touch of grenadine adds sweetness and a beautiful red tint that, when combined with blue curaçao, creates the perfect purple shade.
Pineapple Juice
Tropical and fruity, pineapple juice adds depth and acidity.
Cranberry Juice
Cranberry adds tartness and balances out the sweet grenadine and citrusy notes.
Soda
A splash of lemon-lime or club soda lightens the drink and gives it some sparkle.
🍹 How to Make the Jamaican Me Crazy Cocktail
Prepare Your Glass: Fill a tall glass (like a highball or hurricane glass) with ice.
Add Liquids: Pour vodka, blue curaçao, grenadine, pineapple juice, and cranberry juice directly over the ice.
Top It Off: Add a splash of soda to lift the drink and give it a fizzy finish.
Stir Lightly: Use a bar spoon to stir gently. This will blend the layers while keeping the color vibrant.
Garnish and Serve: Add a slice of lime, a pineapple wedge, or a maraschino cherry to complete the tropical look.
