this RECIPE

Ingredients

Green Slush:

• 2 oz Blue Curaçao
• 2 oz Banana Liqueur
• 2.5 oz Sprite
• 1.5 oz Coconut Rum
• Ice (enough for blending)

Orange Slush:

• 5 oz Orange Soda
• 2 oz Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice
• 1.5 oz Coconut Rum
• 0.5 oz Triple Sec
• Ice (enough for blending)

Garnish:

• Orange Wedge
• Pineapple Fronds or Leafy Garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare Two Pitchers (or Blenders)

You’ll need two separate blenders or large measuring cups to prep each slush layer.

2. Make the Green Slush

In the first blender, combine:

• 2 oz Blue Curaçao
• 2 oz Banana Liqueur
• 2.5 oz Sprite
• 1.5 oz Coconut Rum
• A generous amount of ice

Blend until smooth and slushy. Set aside.

3. Make the Orange Slush

In the second blender, combine:

• 5 oz Orange Soda
• 2 oz Fresh Orange Juice
• 1.5 oz Coconut Rum
• 0.5 oz Triple Sec
• Ice

Blend until slushy and thick.

4. Assemble the Drink

Grab a hurricane glass (or any tall glass) and carefully:

• Pour the green slush into one side of the glass.
• Simultaneously or gently after, pour the orange slush on the opposite side to create a split effect.

Tip: Pour slowly and steadily for the most dramatic visual contrast.

5. Garnish & Serve

Top with a slice of orange and pineapple fronds for a tropical finish.
Serve with a reusable straw or long spoon. Cheers!

Notes

• For best layering, use a thick slush consistency—not too runny!
• Try freezing your glass beforehand to keep the slush cold longer.
• Want to batch for a party? Make both slushes ahead and keep them in the freezer until serving.

Helpful Tips

• Use pebble or crushed ice for a smoother slush texture.
• Add more Sprite or soda if your slush is too thick.
• Want extra flair? Rim the glass with colored sugar or coconut flakes!
• Try serving in mini plastic hurricane cups for an easy, mess-free party version.

Conservation and Storage

These slushes are best enjoyed immediately, but you can freeze the blended mixtures in airtight containers for up to 2 hours before serving. Re-blend or stir with a spoon to restore slushy consistency.

Substitutions and Variations

Mocktail Version: Use coconut water or a zero-proof rum alternative, and skip the liqueurs.
Add Pineapple Juice: For extra tropical flair in either slush.
Spicy Twist: Add a dash of tajín or chili salt on the rim for sweet heat.
Berry Vibe: Swap orange soda for strawberry soda and add a berry garnish!

Storage Instructions

• Store blended slush in a sealed container in the freezer for up to 2 hours.
• Stir or blend briefly before serving to refresh the texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this without alcohol?
Yes! Just replace the rum, triple sec, and liqueurs with juice, soda, and flavored syrups for a non-alcoholic slush.

Can I use just one blender?
Absolutely—just blend one color at a time and rinse the blender in between.

How do I get a perfect split in the glass?
Use a spoon or pour both slushes slowly and from opposite sides of the glass. You can even tilt the glass slightly to control the pour.

Conclusion

The Green & Orange Split Slush Cocktail is an explosion of color, tropical flavor, and summertime fun in every sip. It’s bold, refreshing, and practically made for beach parties, BBQs, and Instagram moments. Whether you’re serving up two or twenty, this drink guarantees good vibes only.
