Method

Prepare Glass

1

Chill glass

If desired, chill a highball or hurricane glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill with ice water while you prepare the cocktail.

2

Discard ice water if used and fill the glass with fresh crushed or cubed ice (about 1 cup).

Mix Cocktail

3

Combine ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz Bacardi white rum, 1 oz sweet & sour mix, 1.5 oz pineapple juice, 1.5 oz mango juice, and 0.25 oz fresh lime juice (if using).

4

Add ice and shake

Fill the shaker with ice, secure the lid, and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until well chilled (shaker becomes cold to the touch).

Assemble & Finish

5

Strain into glass

Strain the shaken mixture into the prepared glass over the fresh ice, leaving a little space at the top for the Blue Curaçao.

6

Add Blue Curaçao float

Carefully pour 0.5 oz Blue Curaçao over the back of a bar spoon held just above the drink surface so it sinks slowly and creates a layered 'wave' effect. Pour gently to preserve layers.

7

Garnish

Garnish with a pineapple wedge and a mango slice on the rim and add a maraschino cherry on top if desired.

8

Serve immediately with a straw and a stirrer so the drinker can mix the Blue Curaçao in to create the 'Mediterranean Wave' effect as desired.
