US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • In a cocktail shaker, combine the blue curaçao, coconut rum, cranberry juice, and pineapple juice.
  • Shake well until chilled (about 15–30 seconds), then strain into two highball glasses filled with ice.
  • Slowly drizzle grenadine down the inside edge of the glass—it will sink and create a layered, ombré effect.
  • Garnish with a cherry, orange slice, and fresh mint. Enjoy!

Notes

  • The final color of your Purple Paradise Cocktail may vary depending on the exact brands and ratios of juices and liqueurs used.
  • For a more vibrant purple hue to match the name, add one small drop of purple gel food coloring and stir gently before serving.
  • If you prefer a natural option, swap part of the cranberry juice for butterfly pea flower tea, which turns purple when mixed with citrus.
