Ingredients
- 2 oz pomegranate juice
- 0.5 oz grenadine
- 1 oz coconut cream (room temperature)
- 0.5 oz simple syrup
- 2 oz butterfly pea flower sparkling water, ice cold
- Gold sugar crystals, for rim
- 50 edible gold star sprinkles, for garnish
- Gold '250' cocktail pick (or any gold pick)
- Large clear ice cubes
Instructions
- Chill your glass in the freezer for 10 minutes before building the drink.
- Rim the glass with gold sugar crystals: wet the rim with a lemon wedge, then dip in gold sugar.
- Add 2-3 large clear ice cubes to the chilled glass.
- Combine pomegranate juice and grenadine. Pour slowly over the ice — this is your red layer. Let it settle for 30 seconds.
- Mix coconut cream and simple syrup until smooth. Using the back of a bar spoon held just above the red layer, pour the coconut cream very slowly — this is your white layer. Let it settle for 30 seconds.
- Pour the ice-cold butterfly pea flower sparkling water over the back of a spoon very slowly — this is your blue layer.
- Scatter 50 edible gold stars across the blue surface.
- Add the gold '250' pick as the final garnish.
- Serve immediately. Do not stir. This drink is meant to be admired before it's consumed.
