Notes
Expert Tips
- Dairy-Free: Use coconut milk ice cream or your favorite vegan vanilla ice cream for a dairy-free version. Skip the buttercream rim, or find a non-dairy buttercream alternative.
- Non-Alcoholic: Omit the gin and you can enjoy this cocktail sans alcohol.
- Gin: I made this empress gin cocktail with the purple Empress 1908 gin, but you can swap that for your gin of choice. Just be aware that the blue hue of the drink will be duller if you don’t use empress. You can always add food coloring to get a darker shade.
- Sweetness: If you like your drinks less sweet, cut the simple syrup and pineapple juice in half.
- Deeper Color: For a deeper blue color, add a tiny bit of light or cornflower blue food coloring.
