Cocktail Hour - Dash Blue Aloha
The team at Dash Restaurant and Bar in Liverpool city centre share their recipe for a delicious Dash Blue Aloha
INGREDIENTS
20ml Bacardi Carta Blanca Rum, 20ml Grey Goose Vodka, 20ml Briottet Blue Curacao Liqueur, 30ml Coconut Cream, 50ml Pineapple Juice, 7.5ml Pineapple Puree
GARNISH
3 pink lily leaves
Step 1: To start, we prepare by chilling a tall sling glass with some ice and a dash of water, this will ensure our cocktail stays as cold as possible for our guests enjoyment.
Step 2: Whilst your glass is chilling it’s time to prepare your ingredients, add Bacardi Carta Blanca Rum - 20ml, Grey Goose Vodka - 20ml, Briottet Blue Curacao Liqueur - 20ml, Coconut Cream - 30ml, Pineapple Juice - 50ml and Pineapple Puree 7.5ml into your cocktail shaker.
Step 3: Now it’s time to shake! We do this by shaking our cocktail shaker as hard and fast as possible. We want to make sure all of the star ingredients in the glass shine so we need to make sure they all blend together perfectly. Do this by shaking for around 20 seconds. Here is a quick bar tenders trick: always make sure you’re shaking your tin in an open space, never shake the tin directly facing someone as we don’t want any accidents!
Step 4: Once you have shaken and the tin becomes cold to touch then it’s time to check we have that everything is perfectly blended. Hold the tin in one hand and tap with the palm of your other hand. You want to do this with some force to break the lid away.
Step 5: We want to make sure a vibrant blue colour has been created mirroring the essence of a bright blue ocean sea. Don’t forget to always taste first before serving to make sure your cocktail truly tastes like a tropical holiday in a glass.
Step 6: Grab your pre-prepared glass, fill with ice cubes then take a fine strainer and pour the cocktail over the ice cubes. Once the tin is emptied take a large scoop of crushed ice and place on top of the cocktail glass. The crushed ice will not only help hold the garnish in place but create a more dramatic finish to the cocktail.
Step 7: Now we move onto garnish, we take three bright pink lily leaves and pinch to create a small bunch and place these into the side of the glass. If you are making this cocktail at home you can choose any bright coloured flowers, remember to really have some fun with it!
Step 8: Now it’s time to sit back and let the Blue Aloha cocktail take you away to a heavenly tropical beach somewhere, this original Dash cocktail is a must try!
