Cocktail (In a Can)

Method

Cocktail (In a Can)

1

Prepare the can or serving can

If you plan to serve the cocktail directly in a can, chill an empty clean can in the freezer for 10–15 minutes. If you prefer a glass, chill a tall can-style glass. Optionally, rub a lime wedge around the rim and dip into salt or superfine sugar to coat (about 1/2 tablespoon).

2

Mix base spirits and juices

In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz light rum, 1 oz white tequila, 0.5 oz blue curaçao, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 1 oz pineapple juice, and 0.5 oz simple syrup. Add ice (6 oz crushed or cubed).

3

Shake

Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels cold and frosty. This chills and lightly dilutes the mixture.

4

Strain into can

If using an empty chilled can or a chilled tall can-style glass, fill it with fresh ice (if desired) and double-strain the shaken mix into the can, leaving room for soda (about 2 oz space).

5

Top with soda and finish

Gently add 2 oz chilled club soda to top, stirring once gently with a bar spoon or straw to integrate without flattening the carbonation. The blue curaçao will give the drink a surf-blue-green color when combined with the juices.

6

Garnish and serve

Garnish with a lime wheel on the rim and a small pineapple wedge or leaf. Serve immediately with a straw or can tab opened if using a can. Encourage sipping slowly to enjoy the layered citrus and tropical flavors.
