A breezy, ocean-blue refresher inspired by Ariel’s world beneath the waves. Coconut rum and blue curaçao flow into cloudy lemonade, brightened with lime and lengthened with soda. It nods to 1980s beach cocktails that used curaçao for sea-blue hues.
Add coconut rum, blue curaçao and lemonade to a highball glass filled with ice. Stir gently, then top with soda water. Squeeze in lime juice for brightness. Garnish with a lime wheel or a candy fish for whimsy.
