Mermaid Water Recipe

Build and shake

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice (about 1 cup). Add 1.5 oz Camarena Silver Tequila, 1 oz RumHaven coconut rum, 2 oz pineapple juice, 1 oz orange juice, and 0.5 oz fresh lime juice. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until well chilled.

Prepare glass

Fill a highball or Collins glass with fresh ice. If you prefer, chill the glass in advance.

Layer with blue curaçao

Strain the shaken mixture into the prepared glass over ice, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace. Slowly pour 0.5 oz blue curaçao over the back of a spoon or pour gently down the inside of the glass so it sinks and creates a turquoise 'mermaid' layer.

Top with soda

Gently add 2 oz soda water to the glass to lighten the drink and add effervescence. Pour slowly to preserve the layered look.

Garnish and serve

Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge and an optional pineapple wedge or maraschino cherry on the rim. Serve with a straw and a stirrer so the guest can mix when ready.

Notes

If you want a sweeter profile, increase pineapple juice by 0.5–1 oz. To make a batch, multiply ingredient quantities by number of servings and combine in a pitcher; add soda and blue curaçao individually into each glass to preserve color layering.
