this RECIPE

Ingredients

• 1 oz vodka

• 1 oz Hypnotiq
• 1/2 oz blue curaçao
• 2 oz pink lemonade

Instructions

1. Prep the Glass

Fill a tall Collins glass (or similar) with ice.

2. Create the Blue Base

• 1 oz vodka
• 1 oz Pink Whitney
• 2 oz cranberry juice
• 2 oz pink lemonade
• 2 oz Sprite

4. Float It On Top

Slowly pour the pink mixture into the glass over the back of a spoon to float it gently on top of the blue layer.

Top with your favorite garnish—a lime wedge, lemon wheel, or even a sprinkle of edible glitter. Serve immediately and let your guests woo! at the view.

Helpful Tips

• For a cleaner layer effect, pour slowly over the back of a spoon to prevent colors from blending too quickly.
• Want more fizz? Add Sprite after layering for an extra bubbly top.
• Make this drink sparkle with edible glitter or a sugared rim for a party-ready glow.

Conservation and Storage

This cocktail is best enjoyed immediately to preserve the layered effect and fizz. If you’re prepping for a party, you can mix the top layer (vodka + juices) ahead and keep chilled until serving.

Substitutions and Variations

• No Pink Whitney? Use regular vodka + a splash of pink lemonade.
• Make it a slushy: Blend the top mixture with ice, layer it over the blue base for a frozen twist.
• No Hypnotiq? Swap in a little passionfruit juice or peach schnapps for a different fruity vibe.
• Make it a mocktail: Replace alcohols with blue sports drink + pink lemonade, and a dash of cranberry!

Storage Instructions

• Not ideal for storage. But you can pre-mix the pink layer up to 1 day ahead and refrigerate it in a sealed jar. Assemble with ice and blue curaçao/Hypnotiq when ready to serve.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I keep the layers from mixing?
Use the back of a spoon to slow the pour of the top layer and be gentle. The different sugar contents help keep them separated.

Can I make this for a crowd?
Yes! Mix a large batch of the pink layer and pour individually over the blue base in glasses for guests.

What does it taste like?
It’s sweet, citrusy, and lightly tropical—like a fruit punch with a cool citrus twist. The Pink Whitney adds a lemony pop while the Hypnotiq brings that island flavor.

Can I use another juice besides cranberry?
Sure! Pomegranate juice works well, or even raspberry lemonade for a tangier twist.

Conclusion

Whether you’re planning a bachelorette bash, a girls’ night in, or just need a bold drink to match your mood, Blue Woo! delivers the sparkle, the flavor, and the fun. It’s fruity, fizzy, full of color, and completely unforgettable.
