What Cocktail Would Be A Mermaid’s Favorite Drink?
As a mythical creature, mermaids are often depicted as living in the sea, swimming in the waters and spending their time on sandbars and rocky outcroppings. They have captured the imagination of people for centuries, and are now a popular theme in movies, books, and even cocktails!
If we had to guess what kind of cocktail a mermaid would favor, we’d have to consider the aspects that make up their magical world – the ocean, the sun, and the sand. With that in mind, let’s dive into the world of cocktail-making and explore different ingredients that could make up a mermaid’s favorite drink.
The Blue Cocktail: A Colorful Creation
The first thing that comes to mind when thinking of mermaids is blue. The serene color of the ocean, blue is calm and soothing, capturing the essence of what it means to be a mermaid. Therefore, a blue cocktail would be an obvious choice! A drink with a beautiful ocean blue hue would make every mermaid proud, and let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a drink that looks pretty?
The Blue Cocktail starts with vodka, blue curaçao, and citrus juice (lemon or lime), which gives it a fruity kick. This drink can be served as a classic cocktail, or as a frozen drink with a blueberry garnish. The beauty of this drink is that it can be customized in many ways, and you can easily create a new and exciting version of the Blue Cocktail that can be perfect for a mermaid.
Lime in the Coconut: A Tropical Twist
The beach is the mermaid’s natural habitat, and so we need to incorporate those wonderful tropical ingredients to make a drink that will transport us right to the sand bars. We believe a Lime in the Coconut cocktail would be the perfect tropical drink for all mermaids.
The Lime in the Coconut is a classic tropical drink that is made with white rum, coconut cream, lime juice, and topped with club soda. This drink has the perfect balance of sweet and tart, and the rum adds that punch of flavour that every tropical cocktail needs.
The addition of coconut cream and lime juice gives this drink a tropical twist that unmistakably reminds us of a beach vacation. Served with ice and fresh mint, this refreshing drink is a perfect way to chill while soaking up the sun.
Seaside Martini: An Ocean-Inspired Cocktail
The ocean is the mermaid’s playground and its beauty is a never-ending inspiration for the artistic soul in us. A Seaside Martini is our take on a cocktail that is inspired by the ocean’s colors, flavors, and textures.
This martini starts with gin or vodka and adds blue curaçao, sea salt, and seaweed. The blue curaçao gives it that beautiful blue color, while the sea salt, adds that soft and savory touch that reminds us of the taste of the sea. The seaweed adds that perfect element of umami, which creates a subtly unique taste that keeps us coming back for more.
Served up in a chilled martini glass and garnished with a seaweed sprig, this drink doesn’t only look fabulous, but it’s also packed full of ocean-like deliciousness.
Mermaid’s Kiss: A Sugary Sweet Treat
Mermaids are known to have a captivating and alluring presence, which makes us think of a sugary sweet cocktail that is as tempting as the siren’s song. A Mermaid’s Kiss, our fourth pick of a mermaid’s favorite drink, is a perfect representation of their charm.
This cocktail is made with vanilla vodka, coconut rum, pineapple juice, and grenadine, which gives it that beautiful pink and blue swirl effect that is sure to please. The addition of fresh pineapple adds a tangy twist that balances out the sweetness of the grenadine syrup, while the coconut rum adds that tropical flavor that compliments the fruity notes of the pineapple juice.
Served in a tall glass with crushed ice and a cherry, this cocktail is sweet, fruity, and tropical. It’s a perfect sip to take while lounging on a sunny beach, enjoying the breeze, the sun, and the lovely ocean.
