Ingredients
Scale
For the Cocktail
- 1 1/2 ounces KINKY Pink vodka liqueur
- 1/2 ounce vodka
- 1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
- 3 ounces hard ginger beer
- Crushed ice
- Lime wedges (for garnish)
- Cubed mango (for garnish)
For the Blue Ice
- 4–5 drops liquid butterfly pea flower extract per ice cube
- Cold water
Instructions
- Prepare the Cocktail Mixture: In a cocktail shaker filled halfway with crushed ice, combine the KINKY Pink vodka liqueur, vodka, and fresh lime juice. Shake vigorously for 30 seconds to chill and blend the flavors thoroughly.
- Fill the Mug: Fill a clear mule mug halfway with crushed ice. Strain the shaken cocktail mixture into the mug over the ice.
- Add Ginger Beer and Ice Layer: Top the cocktail with 3 ounces of hard ginger beer, then add a layer of crushed blue ice created from butterfly pea flower extract ice cubes for a striking visual effect.
- Prepare Blue Ice: To make the blue ice, add 4-5 drops of liquid butterfly pea flower extract to each compartment of an ice cube tray, fill with cold water, and freeze until solid. Once frozen, crush the blue ice to layer on top of the drink.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish the cocktail with fresh cubed mango and lime wedges. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing, tropical flavors with a magical blue touch.
Notes
- Use hard ginger beer for an additional alcoholic kick and robust ginger flavor; regular ginger beer can be used if preferred.
- The liquid butterfly pea flower extract provides a natural, beautiful blue hue that changes color when mixed with acidic ingredients like lime juice.
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute vodka and liqueur with extra ginger beer or sparkling water.
- Prepare the blue ice cubes in advance and store them in the freezer for quick use when needed.
- Crushed ice is preferred to maximize the surface area for chilling and visual layering effects.
