Ingredients

Scale

For the cocktail (serves 2):

2 oz blue curaçao
2 oz coconut rum (Malibu recommended)
6 oz lemonade or lemon-lime soda, chilled
1 oz whipped cream (plus extra for topping)
2 cups crushed ice

For garnish:

2 orange slices
Gummy sharks
Sugar star gummies
Extra whipped cream for topping
Optional: blue sanding sugar (for glass rim)
Lemon wedge (for rimming glasses)

Instructions

Prepare your glasses: Rub a lemon wedge around the rim of each glass. Dip into blue sanding sugar for a fun ocean-inspired touch. Set aside.
Blend the base: In a blender, add crushed ice, blue curaçao, coconut rum, lemonade or soda, and 1 oz of whipped cream. Blend just until slushy—don’t overdo it!
Pour and decorate: Divide the mixture between your prepared glasses. Top with a generous swirl of whipped cream.

Garnish playfully: Add gummy sharks, a few sugar star gummies, and a bright orange slice to each glass. Serve immediately and enjoy the splash!

Notes

Mocktail version: Skip the alcohol and use blue sports drink or blue punch with lemon-lime soda for a fun kid-friendly version.
Make ahead tip: Blend all ingredients except the ice and store in the fridge. Blend with fresh ice just before serving.
Garnish creatively: Don’t stop at gummy sharks—try adding Swedish fish, sour gummies, or even mini umbrellas for a festive look!

Serving idea: Chill your glasses ahead of time for a frostier finish that keeps your drink cooler longer.
