Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about
Chi-Chi Frozen Cocktail
The chi-chi is a favourite frozen cocktail that has a beautiful ocean blue colour and familiar tropical taste. It offers something a little different than the average margarita and daiquiri, and is sure to add a splash of fun to your summer!
Filled with pineapple and coconut flavours, the chi-chi is like a blue version of the piña colada with a vodka twist. It has all the same flavours, they're just dressed up in a different package. The stunning blue colour comes from blue curaçao, the most reliable liquor in the bar to get that colour. It's also a little creamier than most frozen cocktails because it uses both cream of coconut and vanilla ice cream.
Take this one poolside or just sick back and relax with it in the backyard! Either way, it's a perfect treat for a hot summer day.
Ingredients
- 2 ounces vodka
- 1/2 ounce blue curaçao liqueur
- 1/2 ounce cream of coconut
- 1/2 cup cubed pineapple
- 1 scoop vanilla ice cream
- 1/2 cup crushed ice
- Pineapple wedge, for garnish
Steps to Make It
Gather the ingredients.
- In a blender, pour the vodka, blue curaçao, and cream of coconut. Add the pineapple, ice cream, and crushed ice.
- Blend until smooth.
- Pour into a chilled margarita or highball glass.
- Garnish with a pineapple wedge. Serve and enjoy.
Tips
If the mix turns out too thick add a little more cream of coconut, vodka, or blue curaçao and blend again. When it's too thin for your taste, add ice or ice cream.
Canned pineapple is a good option if you don't have the fresh fruit around. Be sure to drain the juice, but you might want to keep it in reserve in case the drink needs to be thinned.
With blended cocktails, you'll find it best to use crushed ice to get a smooth consistency. If you only have ice cubes, add those to the blender on their own and chop them up before adding the rest of the ingredients.
And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
