1. Purple Rain

I love the color of this drink. Who else finds this oddly exciting to have cocktails with exotic names and colors? This drink is pretty simple to make.

Ingredients:
• 1.5 oz. Appleton Estate V/X

• 1 splash Blue Curaçao Liqueur

• 1 splash Sweet and Sour Mix
• 1 splash Soda Water

• 1 oz. Cranberry Juice

How to make:
Add gin into a highball glass with ice (if you're home any glass will do).
Top with cranberry juice.
Add Blue Curaçao, sweet and sour mix and soda.
Shake your glass gently then add more Blue Curaçao.
When the mixture turns a neat royal purple colour garnish if desired, and serve.

2. Frozen Bob Marley

I don't know about you guys, but when I'm in the Caribbean, I'll have lots of frozen cocktails.
Seeing that this only needs four ingredients, I'll be having a lot of it at home during summer.

Ingredients:
• 2.0 oz. Strawberry Daiquiri Mix

• 2.0 oz. Mango Daiquiri Mix

• 2.0 oz. Appleton Gold Rum
• 1.0 oz. Blue Curaçao Liqueur

How to make:
Blend strawberry daiquiri and ice until mixture is slushy.
Add to your cocktail glass to make the first layer of your cocktail.
Blend mango daiquiri with ice until slushy.
Pour/scoop half of the mango mixture into your glass for the second layer. Do not stir.
Add Blue Curaçao into the other half of the mango mixture. This will cause your mixture to turn green. Place the mango mixture into your glass as the third cocktail layer. Do not stir.
You can add more rum to the top of your cocktail layers as a float, but this is optional. Add rum to taste.
Garnish with fresh fruit and serve.
