About
The Swimming Pool is a dreamy tropical cocktail that layers the vivid blue of a swimming pool with a creamy white float on top, earning its name from its stunning two-toned appearance. Vodka, coconut rum, Blue Curaçao, and pineapple juice are shaken together for the blue base, and a float of cream — representing the foam on a pool's surface — is poured gently on top. The flavors are tropical and indulgent: sweet coconut, pineapple, and orange citrus, with a creamy richness that gives the drink a dessert-like quality. A perfect summer cocktail that is as much a visual centerpiece as it is a delicious drink.
Instructions
- Fill a tall glass with ice.
- Combine vodka, coconut rum, Blue Curaçao, and pineapple juice in a shaker with ice.
- Shake vigorously for 15 seconds.
- Strain into the ice-filled glass.
- Slowly pour the heavy cream over the back of a bar spoon so it floats on top.
- Garnish with a pineapple wedge or cherry.
