Looking for a fun and fruity cocktail to enjoy this summer? Look no further than the Tipsy Mermaid Rum Cocktail! This tropical cocktail is easy to make and perfect for any party. Plus, there are lots of variations you can try depending on your mood. Keep reading for the recipe and some tips on how to make it your own.

What if you don’t like pineapple juice?

Even though I understand how you feel, I’m not afraid to admit that sometimes pineapple juice is overpowering. Never worry; this mermaid rum punch may be made with lemonade instead! Occasionally, in order to top off the glasses and provide a lovely bubbly look, I’ll add a little bit of club soda or lemon-lime soda.

What is Blue Curacao?

Blue Curacao is a blue liqueur prepared from orange peel slices of dried Lahara citrus fruit. The fruit is produced on the island of Curaçao. Because of the citrus taste, it has a similar flavor to triple sec, and it contains added color. It’s especially popular in tropical cocktails, like the Tipsy Mermaid, Blue Lagoon, and Blue Hawaiian.

What you need to make a Tipsy Mermaid

• 1 Can White Claw Watermelon Seltzer (12 ounces)
• 3 Ounces Pineapple Juice
• 2 Ounces Rum
• 2 Ounces Blue Curacao
• 1 Ounce Fresh Lime Juice (plus lime slices for garnish)

How to make the recipe

In a mixing container like a tiny pitcher, combine the pineapple juice, blue curacao, lime juice, and rum. Stir lightly.

Pour in the White Claw and gently mix it with a spoon.

Serve in highball glasses with ice cubes, a slice of lime, and/or pineapple slice or maraschino cherries for garnish.

Ingredient substitutions

Seltzer – You may use any flavor of White Claw you like, but I think watermelon is the greatest. Any seltzer works. Just be sure that the flavor matches the drink or you’ll wind up with a odd-tasting beverage.

Lime juice – If you don’t have lime juice, try using lemon juice instead, in a pinch. It still tastes wonderful!

Flavored rum – Spiced or banana rum is a wonderful choice in addition to plain rum for an extra zing. This gives it a tropical island atmosphere.

Mango – Add a few pieces of mango to your bowl. The flavor combination will surprise you! For real! 

Ice – Make a slushy drink by blending the ice with your blender. For this drink, thick straws are ideal!!!!

Recipe tips

This cocktail was designed to be a lightly flavored drink with a lovely and eye-catching hue. However, if you want more flavor, add extra pineapple juice. To personalize the recipe, alter the quantities to suit your own preferences and tastes.

Once you’ve added the White Claw, don’t overmix. You don’t want to squash the seltzer because it would destroy the taste.
