Instructions
- Fill a highball or hurricane glass completely with ice. Chill your glass while prepping the drink.
- In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine vodka, blue curaçao, and pineapple juice.
- Shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds until the shaker is frosty and cold.

Notes
For a non-alcoholic version, replace vodka with coconut water and use a sugar-free blue sports drink instead of blue curaçao. Great for batch mixing—simply scale up and add lime juice just before serving.
