Blue Breeze Variations

Try any of these swaps to make your cocktail the best for you.

• Make the blue breeze into a fizzy treat by topping off with a lemon-lime soda, or keep it a little drier with a flavored club soda such as orange, pineapple, coconut, or berry.
• For a less coconut-forward cocktail, skip the cream of coconut. On the other hand, add additional cream of coconut for a bolder flavor.
• Swap coconut rum for coconut vodka or tequila, whichever you prefer.
• Use a lime juice in place of lemon juice. You can even use a lime cordial instead.

Blue Breeze Garnishes

Allow your imagination to dream or keep your blue breeze garnish simple with any of these ideas.

• Include a pineapple leaf to complete the tropical look.
• Pierce a cherry and pineapple wedge with a cocktail skewer.
• Keep it super simple with a single garnish using only a cherry or only an orange slice.
• Opt for a dehydrated orange slice for a modern look on a classic drink.

A Welcoming Breeze

Some days, a breeze wouldn’t be so welcomed, but in the case of this cocktail, a blue breeze is one you’ll greet with open arms. Settle into a comfortable chair beneath an umbrella or plop yourself in the sun and get swept away with the breeze.
