*See recipe card below for exact measurements

- Next, add in the pineapple juice. *You can add more or less juice to desired taste.

What is Blue Curaco?
Blue Curaco is a popular liqueur used in numerous drinks such as the Blue Lagoon. Its flavor comes from the peel of the Laraha citrus fruit (which has been dried) and is grown on the island of Curaçao, hence the name.
The blue color in the liqueur comes from food coloring which is added to give it its distinctive coloring. It is similar to Triple Sec in that it is citrus flavored
Garnish options for this Tropical Dream Cocktail
We tend to keep this simple and use a pineapple wedge on the side of our glasses. I am a fan of using fresh pineapple juice in this recipe, so we already have the pineapple on hand! A few other great options are paper umbrellas and/or maraschino cherries! So many great options!
