I was recently asked by my previous employer, Bluewater Real Estate and Vacation Rentals, to create a signature cocktail for their summer vacation magazine. Bluewater was such a great company to work for and everyone was always so good to me, I had to create the most special cocktail for their vacationers to enjoy while visiting my little piece of paradise here on the east coast. 
First off, this recipe is not sponsored. I just loved the company I worked for and all of my co-workers. They were the best co-workers EVER!
I remember trying to sell tickets for barbecue plates for a fundraiser for my friend’s husband who was battling cancer. When I went to my manager’s office, he told me to order a plate for the whole office for lunch, that the company was donating towards the cause while feeding all of us. How cool is that???
VERY cool. You just don’t forget when people are good to you and your loved ones.
This cocktail is soooooo easy to whip up with everyday ingredients. Perfect for sipping on the porch while smelling the salty ocean breeze… and if you’re not on the ocean, that’s okay too because you’ll feel like you are after you take a sip of this cocktail… 
Enjoy!

This looks so yummy! What makes the green on the bottom of the glass, or is that just your glasses that you poured into?

Thanks, Lisa – It is delicious! The glasses in this photo are clear – it’s the combination of the blue curacao and the yellow pineapple juice that makes it the pretty green color. I hope you enjoy it if you make it and have a great 4th of July weekend!
