🌴 Fun In The Bushes – A Refreshing Tropical Cocktail
Escape to paradise in a glass!
Bright, breezy, and irresistibly tropical, this cocktail blends citrus, coconut, and a pop of ocean-blue color. With vivid layers and smooth flavor, it’s as refreshing as a dip in crystal-clear water—and twice as fun.
🍹 Ingredients (Makes 1 serving)
1 oz coconut rum (Malibu or similar)
1 oz vodka (plain or citrus-flavored)
½ oz blue curaçao
½ oz fresh lime juice (about ½ a lime)
Ice (crushed or cubed)
Optional: Lime wedge, tropical fruit, or mint for garnish
🏝️ How to Make:
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
Add the coconut rum, vodka, lime juice, and blue curaçao.
Shake well until the outside of the shaker is cold and the drink is fully chilled (about 10–15 seconds).
Fill a glass with fresh ice (a stemless wine glass or tiki glass works beautifully).
Strain the cocktail into your glass. Watch the vibrant blue-green tones settle like ocean waves!
Garnish with a lime wedge, pineapple slice, or a little tropical umbrella for full vacation vibes. 🌺
✨ Optional Variations:
Make it fizzy: Add a splash of lemon-lime soda or coconut sparkling water.
Slushy style: Blend everything with crushed ice for a frozen cocktail.
Amp the tropical flavor: Add a splash of pineapple juice or passion fruit juice for a fruitier punch.
📦 Serving Tips:
Serve immediately while cold.
Great for beach-themed parties, summer BBQs, or sipping solo with a sunset playlist.
Pair with tropical snacks like grilled shrimp skewers, coconut chips, or fruit salsa.
