As the end of the year celebrations approach, I offer you this delicious Christmas cocktail recipe with curacao sprinkled with grated coconut for a snowflake effect! Perfumed and colorful, this excellent cocktail with rum, curaçao, pineapple juice and coconut cream strikes a very good balance between its quantity of alcohol and its sweet and fruity taste. Ideal for an original aperitif on New Years Eve, I recommend this exotic drink, which has been tested and approved many times by my guests and myself. To be consumed in moderation, of course.

If some of your guests are young or don't drink alcohol, you can make a version of this alcohol-free Christmas cocktail recipe by replacing the rum with lemonade, and substituting the curacao with a blue curaco syrup .
For a more sparkling and less alcoholic version, replace the rum with crémant or champagne.

Add in this order the white rum, curaçao, pineapple juice, and coconut cream.
Pour all the ingredients into a blender.
.Mix until the mixture is completely homogeneous and add the ice cubes.
