Frozen Tipsy Mermaid Drink
This recipe makes an awesome frozen drink as well! Add 1 – 2 cups of ice per serving to your blender along with the pineapple juice, blue curacao, lime juice, and rum. Blend until smooth and pour the blended drink into your glasses. Gently stir in seltzer and add garnish.
Virgin Tipsy Mermaid
To make a mocktail version, just skip the rum, and swap the blue curacao for blue Hawaiian punch. Use non-alcoholic watermelon seltzer or watermelon juice in place of the hard seltzer. My daughter is a big fan of this one!
Preparation
How do you make it by the pitcher?
We typically consider a pitcher to be 8 servings. To make a pitcher, multiply each ingredient by 4 (exact measurements provided below).
Fill pitcher with ice, add the ingredients, then stir before pouring.
Can you make it ahead of time?
You can make this recipe a little bit ahead of time, but make sure not to add the ice until immediately before serving (or it will melt and water down the drink).
This drink includes a carbonated beverage so it can only be made a few hours in advance, otherwise it will go flat. Store prepared cocktails in a sealed container in the refrigerated for up to 6 hours.
Tips, tricks, and frequently asked questions
What kind of rum?
This is totally a matter of preference! Honestly I typically grab whatever is on sale since you’re mostly tasting the flavors of the curacao, juice and seltzer.
Save the expensive stuff for sipping!
Why is it called a tipsy mermaid drink?
The internet does not appear to know how this drink got it’s name, but I suspect the combination of tropical flavors and beautiful mermaidy blueish green hue are what deserve credit!
What to enjoy with a tipsy mermaid drink (serving suggestions)
This is a yummy drink to enjoy alongside tropical favorites like pineapple bundt cake, mango salsa, and cilantro lime steak!

Tools we love

- Stemless wine glasses – I am a huge fan of stemless wine glasses for cocktails as they’re much less likely to tip over. Read = I am clumsy.
- Upright blender – Frozen drinks deserve a good blender. Make sure you use one that can blend ice easily.
