Instructions
- Chill a highball or cocktail glass by filling it with ice cubes, creating an ideal foundation for the tropical beverage.
- Create the juice base by combining pineapple and cranberry juices directly over the ice, ensuring thorough mixing to blend flavors seamlessly.
- Introduce blue curacao slowly into the mixture, allowing it to cascade through the juice, transforming the liquid into a mesmerizing purple gradient.
- For enhanced sweetness, delicately drizzle grenadine syrup, which will generate a beautiful color layering and intensify the drink’s complexity.

- Insert a cocktail stirrer or straw and serve immediately, ensuring the drink maintains its chilled temperature and visually stunning appearance.
Notes
- Chill glasses beforehand to keep the cocktail refreshingly cold without diluting the flavors too quickly.
- Experiment with fresh juices instead of store-bought for a more vibrant and authentic tropical taste profile.
- Adjust sweetness levels by controlling the amount of grenadine and blue curacao to suit different preferences.
- Consider using a cocktail shaker to blend ingredients thoroughly and create a more consistent purple color throughout the drink.
