Ingredients

  • 5 oz Tropicana Premium Lemonade, frozen*
  • 2 oz white rum
  • 2 oz coconut cream
  • 1/2 oz pineapple juice, frozen*
  • 1/2 banana sliced, frozen*
  • 2 dashes angostura bitters
  • 1 capsules spirulina/blue green algae
  • garnish: pineapple leaves, starfruit, kiwi, coconut flakes
  • optional: white cocktail seashells

Directions

  1. Freeze lemonade & pineapple juice in an ice cube tray a few hours before making a cocktail. Add sliced banana into a plastic bag & freeze until frozen.
  2. Add the frozen lemonade & pineapple juice, white rum, coconut cream, banana, & bitters into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour a quarter of the drink into a hurricane glass or tall glass. 
  3. Open the capsules of spirulina over the blender to get the powder out. Blend for 1 second, for a quick swirl, then slowly pour the rest of the cocktail into the glass. Using a chopstick or pick, swirl the two layers to create an ombré effect.
  4.  Garnish with pineapple leaves, your favorite tropical fruit & coconut flakes. And if you really want to feel like a mermaid add a couple of white chocolate seashells on top!
