The combination of sweet and sour flavors creates an explosive taste that is sure to tantalize your taste buds. It’s juicy, tangy, and full of zesty goodness.

One sip of this vibrant blue drink, and you’ll feel like you’re sipping paradise.

You’ll need:

  • 1 cup of ice cubes (or enough to fill the glass)
  • 1½ ounces of vodka
  • 1½ ounces of blue curacao liqueur
  • 6 ounces of lemonade
  • Splash of raspberry cordial (such as Razzmatazz, Chambord, etc.)
  • Pineapple wedges and/or raspberries for garnish.

Substitutions And Additions

VODKA: You do not have to use top-shelf vodka, but I do, however, recommend using a good quality one that you enjoy drinking.

LEMONADE: If you prefer a different flavor profile, you can experiment with various fruit juices such as orange juice, pineapple juice, or cranberry juice. These alternatives will provide a refreshing twist to the cocktail while maintaining a fruity base. Just keep in mind that the taste will vary depending on the juice you choose, so adjust the sweetness accordingly by adding more or less simple syrup.

BLUE CURACAO: If you don’t have blue curacao or prefer a different flavor, you can use orange liqueur or orange juice instead. This substitution will add a citrusy element to the cocktail while altering the color. Alternatively, you can experiment with other flavored liqueurs, such as raspberry or peach liqueur, to create your own unique twist.

How To Make This Fruit Tingle Cocktail Recipe

This delightfully drink will come together right in the glass and be ready for sipping in a matter of minutes.

OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS

We served the fruit tingle in a hurricane glass, but a stemless or stemmed wine glass would also work. A highball glass would also show off the colorful layers nicely. 

STEP ONE: Fill your cocktail glass with ice.

PRO TIP:

You can also pour the liquors and lemonade first and then gently add the ice to fill the glass. The raspberry cordial will sink to the bottom of the glass because it has the highest sugar content (so it is the heaviest).

STEP TWO: Add the vodka, blue curacao, and lemonade to the glass. Stir.

STEP THREE: Drizzle the raspberry cordial over the top; you can pour it over the back of a spoon to direct it down the inside of the glass if you’d like. The raspberry cordial will sink to the bottom, creating a layered effect.

PRO TIP:

The color of your layers will depend on the color of the raspberry cordial. Most readily available raspberry cordials are a darker burgundy color and will make a deep blue-purple layer on the bottom.

STEP FOUR: Garnish with fruit.

How To Serve

This pretty layered cocktail is a fun addition to any party and a great way to show off your bartending skills. Serve with a platter of cucumber bites and stuffed mushrooms for delicious appetizers. 

For something with a little more substance, grilled shrimp or pineapple chicken kabobs with a touch of spice would make for a mouthwatering pairing.

Storage

Since this drink is so easy to make, there isn’t any reason to mix it up ahead of time.

IN THE FRIDGE: We don’t recommend trying to keep leftovers of this drink as the ice will melt and water down your drink. Serve this delicious cocktail immediately.

IN THE FREEZER: This alcoholic beverage must be served fresh.
