💭 Eileen's Tips for Success

• Try adding an umbrella for a fun garnish and presentation!
• Don't skip the blue curcaco as that is what gives this cocktail its beautiful color.
• I like to use a high powdered blender like a Ninja or Vitamix because they make quick work of crushing the ice.
• If you have an older or smaller blender you will need to blend for several minutes in order to get the ice completely crushed.
