📝 Ingredients (1 serving):

  • 1 oz coconut rum 🥥

  • 1 oz blue curaçao 💙

  • 1 oz pineapple juice 🍍 (chilled)

  • 1 oz lemon-lime soda or tonic water (for fizz)

  • ½ tsp edible glitter (silver or pearl for shimmer – food-grade only)

  • Ice cubes

  • Optional garnish: Pineapple wedge, maraschino cherry, star fruit slice, or galaxy-themed stir stick


🍹 Instructions:

1. Chill and Prepare Your Glass

  • Place your glass in the freezer for 10 minutes for a frosted effect.

  • Use a tall glass (like a highball or hurricane glass) to show off the shimmering layers.

2. Mix the Base

  • In a shaker, combine:

    • 1 oz coconut rum

    • 1 oz blue curaçao

    • 1 oz pineapple juice

    • ½ tsp edible glitter

  • Add ice and shake well (about 10–15 seconds) until well-chilled and glitter is evenly suspended.

3. Pour and Float

  • Fill your glass halfway with fresh ice.

  • Strain the blue glitter mix into the glass.

  • Slowly top with lemon-lime soda or tonic water to add a sparkling finish and light effervescence.

4. Garnish

  • Add a pineapple wedge, cherry, or star fruit on the rim.

  • You can also drop in a glow cube or serve with a glittery straw for added drama.


🌠 Optional Add-Ons & Variations:

  • Galaxy Color Twist: Add a drop of purple food coloring or a splash of cranberry juice for a midnight-sky hue.

  • Frozen Version: Blend ingredients with ice for a frozen galaxy daiquiri.
