Inspired by our tailgating trip to see Jimmy Buffet, I wanted to make some grab and go cocktails that were on-theme! I felt like a margarita for Margaritaville was perhaps too on the nose, so I went searching for tropical, fun, and tasty cocktails to bring along.
As I was perusing various recipes, I stumbled across the Finding Nemo! I loved the cocktail garnish the most.
Finding Nemo
| 1 oz | Coconut Rum |
| .75 oz | Hypnotiq |
| .5 oz | Lime Juice |
| .25oz | Pineapple Juice |
| .25 oz | Blue Curacao |
| Garnish | Swedish Fish |
To create this drink, pour all of your liquids into a cocktail shaker. Add ice, cover, and shake for about 12 seconds*. Strain into a cocktail glass (Coupe or Martini any glass you choose). Garnish with a Swedish Fish.
*To prepare ahead and serve in half-pint jars, simply pour liquids into each jar. When it’s time to serve them, shake and strain on the spot, or simply have them pre-chilled.
Finding Nemo a whimsical drink crafted by Brendan Turner of Side Bar in San Diego.
How perfect was this drink!!!
To get your fish to float, you can serve instead in a Collins Glass with lots of ice. Gently place your fish on the ice to help it float!
