Instructions

Prepare hurricane glasses by chilling in freezer for 15 minutes before serving.

Create rim treatment by dipping glass rims in simple syrup, then coconut-blue sugar mix.

For coconut base, blend coconut cream, cream of coconut, and heavy cream until smooth.

Add white rum, coconut rum, vanilla extract, and coconut extract to coconut mixture.

Blend fresh pineapple chunks with pineapple juice, honey, and lime juice until smooth.

Combine pineapple mixture with coconut base and blend with 2 cups crushed ice.

Blend until smooth and creamy, achieving thick colada consistency throughout.

For blue ocean layer, mix blue curaçao, white rum, coconut rum, and simple syrup.

Add remaining ice cubes to blue mixture and stir gently to chill.

Begin layering by filling glasses 1/3 full with coconut colada mixture.

Using bar spoon, slowly pour blue curaçao mixture over spoon back to create layer.

The blue layer should float on top, creating beautiful ocean wave effect.

Add small amount of grenadine dropped through mixture for sunset swirl effect.

Top with additional coconut colada if desired for cloud-like appearance.

Garnish with fresh pineapple wedge, maraschino cherry, and cocktail umbrella.

Sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top for tropical beach sand effect.

Add tropical fruit skewer and fresh mint sprig for elegant presentation.

For frozen version, blend all ingredients with extra ice until slushy.

Serve immediately with wide straws for easy sipping through layers.

Encourage gentle stirring to blend colors and create marbled ocean effect.

For virgin version, omit all rum and increase fruit juices proportionally.

Store any leftover mixture in refrigerator and re-blend before serving.

Best enjoyed immediately while layers are distinct and drinks are cold.

Perfect for beach parties, pool gatherings, or tropical-themed celebrations.

Adjust sweetness with additional honey or simple syrup to taste preferences.
