Print Recipe

A quick and easy recipe for colorful layered shots combining sweet strawberry, creamy coconut, and zesty Blue Curacao flavors, perfect for parties and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced (or frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water, dissolved)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) strawberry liqueur (optional)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) chilled coconut cream (canned)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) cream of coconut (like Coco Lopez)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) white rum or coconut-flavored rum (optional)
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) Blue Curacao liqueur
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) fresh lime juice
  • Ice cubes (for chilling glasses or shaking mixtures)
  • Fresh mint leaves or strawberry slices (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Blend 1 cup (150 g) of fresh strawberries with 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of simple syrup until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh if you want it seed-free. Stir in 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of strawberry liqueur if using. Chill this mixture in the fridge for at least 10 minutes so it thickens slightly.
  2. In a small bowl, combine ½ cup (120 ml) chilled coconut cream with 2 tablespoons (30 ml) cream of coconut and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) white rum, if using. Whisk gently until smooth and creamy. Keep this chilled as well.
  3. Measure ⅓ cup (80 ml) Blue Curacao liqueur and add a splash (about 1 teaspoon / 5 ml) of fresh lime juice to brighten the flavor.
  4. Start by pouring the strawberry mixture into each shot glass until it fills about one-third of the glass (about 1 oz / 30 ml). Let it settle for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Hold a spoon upside down just above the strawberry layer and slowly pour the coconut mixture over the back of the spoon. This slows the pour and helps the coconut layer float above the strawberry. Fill the glass until it’s about two-thirds full.
  6. Using the same spoon technique, gently layer the Blue Curacao on top until the glass is full.
  7. Add a small strawberry slice or mint leaf on top for a fresh touch. Serve immediately for best visual effect and flavor.

Notes

Chill all ingredients well and pour slowly over the back of a spoon to maintain distinct layers. Use fresh strawberries for best flavor or frozen if unavailable. For non-alcoholic versions, substitute liqueurs with fruit juices or flavored syrups. Prepare layers separately and assemble just before serving to keep layers crisp.
