Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) blue raspberry syrup
- 1 cup (240 ml) vodka, chilled
- 4 cups (about 1 liter) ice cubes
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) coconut cream, chilled
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) sugar (optional)
- Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Chill the vodka and coconut cream in the fridge for at least an hour.
- In a blender, combine blue raspberry syrup, vodka, lime juice, and ice cubes. Blend on high for 30–45 seconds until smooth and slushy with tiny ice crystals.
- Taste the slush and add sugar if needed, then blend briefly again.
- Pour the slush into tall glasses about three-quarters full.
- Gently spoon the chilled coconut cream on top to float.
- Garnish with fresh mint or a lime slice on the rim.
- Serve immediately before the float melts.
Notes
Use crushed ice for best blending results. Chill vodka and coconut cream before use to maintain float texture. Whip coconut cream lightly for a fluffier float. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of icy slush and creamy float. For a non-alcoholic version, omit vodka and add sparkling water or lemon-lime soda.
