Ingredients Needed

White Claw Watermelon – So this watermelon hard seltzer is my favorite flavor. Now you could easily swap with a different flavor white claw if you would like.

Pineapple juice – You can swap the pineapple with orange juice, but I love the tropical flavor the pineapple brings to this mermaid mixed drink.

Rum – A white rum works great.

Blue Curacao – The blue curacao give this cocktail mermaid vibes for days. The flavor is a sweet orange flavor.

Lime Juice – Fresh lime juice is best, I find the bottled lime juice is just too artificial.

Is there a blue curacao substitute?

Triple Sec or Cointreau both offer similar flavor components that will blend well in this drink. To make it look more like a mermaid punch you can always add a few drops of blue or green food coloring to achieve the look.

Can I make this cocktail in advance?

Unfortunately it is best mixed and served fresh. You will find the bubbles go flat pretty quick from the White Claw. Now, if you want to mix up all the ingredients but the White Claw you can store the mixture in the fridge. Then pour the White Claw right before serving.
