Blue Curacao and Pineapple Juice – Contest – Help Me Name This Drink – recipe
I am a very visual eater/drinker.
I like pretty food…as do most of you. And, I will rarely try a recipe I have never seen a picture of before – unless it’s been served to me and I know the exact final product.
So, when I told my husband that I loved blue drinks, he came up with the perfect tropical-looking drink for me. It looks like the ocean, a swimming pool, a blue sky, Spring, an Summer all at once. Although the floating crushed ice in it reminds me of floating icebergs (and the Titanic), it reminds me more of lapping waves in a tropical coral reef (yes…Fall is beginning and my mind needs to travel to a sunny tropical location).
This is a very simple drink – two ingredients – 3 if you count the ice.
But, it has no name. I couldn’t find an exact recipe online, but I didn’t scour the inernets for hours looking either. If the drink already exists in the exact recipe bellow – who cares, we will have fun anyways.
So, on to the CONTEST: I would like some help naming this drink.
What you need to do: Leave a comment bellow with a drink name by Sunday, September 14th.
What you get if you win: I will feature your blog* on mine…that’s one whole blog post dedicated just to you. And, I will even run it on a Friday so that you will be at the top of my blog the whole weekend (through Sunday).
*If you are a reader/commenter without a blog, and you win the contest, we will email and you can send me a picture of you/your family/your pet – what ever and some fun facts you’d be willing to share with my readers and that’s what I will blog about.
Please name my drink:
Ingredients:
1 shot cold Blue Curacao
1/2 Cup cold Pineapple Juice
~6 Ice Cubes (depending on size)
Directions:
Make sure all ingredients are cold…warm cocktails are no fun.
Crush the ice in your food processor with ice crushing attachment. Add the other ingredients and crush some more.
Serve immediately, or, for an icier feel, pour into a metal container (like a metal drink shaker), and place in the freezer for 15 minutes.
Pour into a martini glass and garnish with lemon or tangerine.
Makes 1 drink.
Because blue curacao has a tangerine-like flavor, a alcohol-free way to make this cocktail -
or mocktail
- would be to substitute the blue curacao with a shot of freshly squeezed tangerine juice and 1 drop of neon blue food coloring.
I would call it the Swimming Pool because of the colour.
Hola Miamii! What a great idea!!!
The first name that came to my mind was the title of that movie: Deep blue Sea, but I thought it was too long for a cocktail, maybe only Deep Blue. Funny contest
Love the hue…
Bleu is what I would call it!!
I think there is a drink that is similar called the Blue Hawaiian.
how about a hazy iceberg. (With 2 or three icebergs you get very hazy.)
Blue crush?
How about Blue Hangover…
Seems so simple and wet intrigueing. Seems so peaceful and yet so appealing, so ready to blow your top. Like a Samoan Beach. Is Samoan Beach an appealing name?
I’d call it Pacific Ice
how about the “Sock knocker!” you know, because is knocks your socks off!
good luck (:
looks like detached, floating icebergs to me, which makes me think about “global warming,” so I’d call it “armageddon.”
It sounds and looks fabulous!
How about Tropical Sky?
if i had a drink made for me, and it had no name, i would either call it the No Name Drink or just use an adjective for it and in this case, call it the Blue Drink.
Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
How about the Spongebob?
It’s a Blue Lagoon! (That’s the name that came immediately to my mind, even though I’m no good at names.) I’d like to try it, it looks that good!
i made something of this sort years back and called it “Fuzzy Duck”.
What about “Caribbean Crush”? Regardless of what it’s called, it looks delicious!
I would call it “Tropical Iceberg” – for the ice and the pineapple!
I would call this ‘Hawaiian Pool’ or ‘Tropical Lagoon’ because of the color and pineapple juice!
I think it sounds and looks fantastic.
It reminded me of the flavor of the the pinapple studded blue ice cream I got as a kid. The circle of lemon on the rim, really stuck with me.
I would name it “Blue Moon”

OK I suck but I have two ideas:
Blue Bliss
Or
Chase-the-Blues
I really like the second one but that’s just me!
BLUE LAGOON-TINI
Ocean Paradise…
Actually it looks like the water at Destin beach on the Panhandle of Florida…gorgeous.
Tasty Teal
I like the name “Pool Boy”. I always wanted one.
I like either “Blue Ribbon” or “Blue Voodoo”.
The Deep End
May I suggest “The Mermaid’s Memory” ? The drink reminds me so much of the water and surf from which I was born.
Island Blue orrrrrr Cerulean.
Or Chlorine. Heh.
artic iceburg
Hi,
How about Blue Oasis?
I would call it the Sea Monster!
Definately should be called
“Ocean Mist”
[...] This recipe for Aqua Pearl comes from the Bon Appetit issue of May 2006. This is what inspired me to make this, currently, unnamed drink. [...]
