Who’s ready for another Cocktail Friday post? I’m really excited about this one – I’m calling it a Blueberry Colada. I had some extra fresh made blueberry mash/juice in my fridge that I needed to use up, so last Friday I created this beaut. It was so freakin’ delicious (and pretty) that I even had to bump it ahead of my regularly scheduled cocktail posts. I may or may not have Cocktail Friday recipes planned/tested/photographed through the end of July already. #sorrynotsorry

Ingredients and Substitutions

Let’s break down what’s in this yummy blue/purple drank: blueberries (of course), pineapple juice for brightness, coconut milk for creaminess, coconut rum for the flavor, and regular light rum for the booziness. It’s a flavor combo made in tiki heaven. The blueberry flavor doesn’t hit you right up front…it’s more like a whisper in this drink. Like “hey, what’s that?” The tangy sweetness of the blueberries plays well with the other flavors here, creating a drink you’ve just got to try.

Here’s what you’ll need to recreate this Blueberry Colada recipe at home:

  • Coconut milk
  • Blueberries
  • Lime
  • Coconut rum
  • Light rum
  • Pineapple juice

Cheers to the weekend!

Blueberry Colada

Prep: 5 minutes mins
Total: 5 minutes mins
Servings: 2 servings (6 oz per serving)
Rate Pin Print
Servings: 2 servings (6 oz per serving)

Ingredients

  • 4 oz light coconut milk
  • 2 oz blueberry lime juice, (recipe follows)
  • 2 oz coconut rum
  • 2 oz light rum
  • 2 oz pineapple juice

Instructions

  • Fill 2 narrow highball glasses with crushed ice. Set aside.
  • In a cocktail shaker, combine all ingredients and add ice. Shake for 3-5 seconds or until chilled, then strain into serving glasses.
  • Garnish with blueberries on a cocktail pick, mint, and dried lime slices, if desired.

Tips & Tricks

Use full fat coconut milk (or even half and half) for a creamier drink.  To ensure you get a smooth, chunk free coconut milk that will work in this drink, pick up the can at the store and shake it – if you hear the coconut milk sloshing around freely, it should work well.  If not, try a different brand.  Chaokoh is a good brand for use in drinks.

For my macro trackers out there, I wasn’t able to create a My Fitness Pal barcode for this recipe since I would have had to decide for you whether to put the alcohol calories in as carbs or fats – that’s up to you!  The 16 grams of carbs listed here are just for the sugar in the coconut rum and juices.  For my non-macro trackers, here’s more info on what I’m talking about.

    How could I make this non alcoholic?

      Hi Jessika, I haven’t tested this recipe without alcohol so I can’t say for sure, but you could try coconut water in place of the rum so you still get some of the coconut flavor.

    I was particularly impressed with the way fresh blueberry mash/juice was used to create the main flavor of this geometry dash meltdown cocktail. This not only adds freshness and naturalness but also helps to limit the use of unnecessary additives.
