Cool blue like the Caribbean, easy to make, and absolutely delightful – The Ice Breaker!

Are you longing for a mesmerizing cocktail with sweet orange and rich coconut flavors? Yearn no more and make an Ice Breaker. The Ice Breaker puts a twist on the basic Pina Colada, and best of all, you don’t need a blender to whip up this true-blue Caribbean cocktail.

In the British Virgin Islands, I hired a guide to take me to some of the nearby islands because I wanted to showcase on my blog some of the best-tasting drinks in the BVIs.

At the Cooper Island Beach Club, my first stop, Saturn, a bartender, demonstrated how to make the Ice Breaker. Click on the picture below to watch a Saturn making an Ice Breaker YouTube video.

Ingredients that you’ll need to make this awesome Ice Breaker

1. Coconut Rum
2. Blue Curacao
3. Cream of Coconut
4. Lime Juice

Tips

Saturn uses Blue Chair Bay Coconut rum to make this tropical cocktail. I found the Blue Chair Bay Coconut rum at my local liquor store.

I typically buy the Goya cream of coconut in the international section of my grocery store. Goya is less expensive than the coconut cream you would find in the drink mix section of the store.

Saturn also uses fresh lime juice. I sometimes use bottled lime juice if I’m in a hurry or don’t have any fresh limes. Try this citrus juicer if you like to use freshly squeezed lime juice in your cocktails.

Best Ever Economical Cocktail Shaker

• Does not leak.
• Measuring Cap from 1/2 to 1.5 ounces.

Deluxe Cocktail Shaker

• Does not leak. There is a rubber gasket on the cap and top.
• Measuring Cap from 1/2 to 6 ounces.
• Double-walled (not cold to the touch).

• Dishwasher Safe (top rack), but I hand wash mine due to the price.

Cons

• The top diameter is 10.5 inches (if you have arthritis in your hands, this may not be for you).
• Don’t over-tighten; it’s not necessary.

How to make the cool blue Ice Breaker

Saturn shakes the Blue Chair Bay Coconut Rum, lime juice, and cream of coconut in a shaker filled with ice. Then he pours the strained liquid into a glass filled with crushed ice. Finally, Saturn tops off the Ice Breaker with Blue Curacao and then a quick stir.

Just one sip of the Ice Breaker brings me back to the bar stool overlooking the beautiful Cooper Island beach. The warm breeze blows through my hair, the sun glistens off the water, and the cocktail is nestled in my hand. Delicious and easy to make, this drink reminds me of a Pina Colada with a blue twist!

So shake up the cocktail, sit back, and relax. And imagine you are at the bar on Cooper Island, BVIs.
