Preparation
- Make sugared blueberries: Add the granulated sugar to the hot water and stir until dissolved. Let the mixture cool slightly, 3–4 minutes.
- Spread the sanding sugar on a plate. Using a fork, dip the blueberries in the sugar syrup, then roll them in the sanding sugar and transfer to a wire rack to dry, about 15–20 minutes. Once dry, skewer the blueberries onto a metal cocktail pick.
- Make the cocktail: Add the blue curaçao, vodka, coconut water, and lime juice to a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice and shake for 1 minute, until cold.
- Fill an Old Fashioned or rocks glass with ice, then strain the cocktail into the glass.
- Make the coconut floater: In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut milk and curaçao.
- Gently pour the coconut floater over the cocktail, letting it streak down through the liquid.
- Place the sugared blueberry garnish across the top of the glass.
- Enjoy!
