This bikini bottom punch shot is exactly what I’d mix on a Friday night when I wanted something cold, fun, and not too serious. It started as a beach day dare—my cousin said, “Bet you can’t make a shot look like the ocean.” So I grabbed coconut rum, pineapple juice, blue Curaçao… and magic happened.
It’s tropical, citrusy, and the color layers are pure poolside vibes. You’ll get coconut smoothness, pineapple sweetness, and a pop of lime all in one chilled shot glass.
