The end of summer can feel bittersweet, but this fun, seasonal cocktail can help toast the warm days and ease you into the fall season. This vibrant, mood-lifting drink is a perfect way to pay homage to the fun summer you had and give you a transition into the upcoming cozy fall season!
As always, let’s gather our ingredients first. The ingredients for this drink include Malibu Rum, Blue Curacao, pineapple juice, almond orgeat, and your choice of ginger ale or sprite. I’m thrilled for another reason to be using the Almond Orgeat that we picked up for the Mai Tai cocktails! If you are going to garnish a cherry is a great topper for this one.
Time to make this cocktail! In your shaker, add ice and all of the ingredients, except the soda and shake to chill. Fill a shorter glass with ice and pour the mixture over fresh ice. Top your glass off with your soda and enjoy! The blue color makes it fun, vibrant and perfect for summer vibes. It also lends a color the reminds you of the blues. This drink is sure to lift your spirits, rather than depress them though. Enjoys it’s light and refreshing taste as you raise a toast to the end of summer.
