The Blue Hawaiian Frozen cocktail 

Invented in Hawaii in the 1950s, the Blue Hawaiian frozen cocktail combines pineapple chunks, Blue Curaçao to create its signature blue color, cream of coconut, Absolut Vodka, and pineapple wedges for a pure tropical treat. If that doesn’t sound like summer, we don’t know what does.

First, there’s the tangy sweetness of fresh pineapple. Then there’s the citrusy, slightly bitter zest of Blue Curaçao. The cream of coconut brings indulgence and velvety smoothness, while Absolut Vodka adds a bold, invigorating kick. Topped with bright cherries and a juicy pineapple wedge, each sip is pure tropical bliss.

The Mudslide  

When it comes to indulgence, few cocktails are as decadent as the Mudslide. Just as the name suggests, this creamy delight is guaranteed to sweep you away with its luxuriousness.

Playful yet sophisticated, the Mudslide was created sometime during the 1970s on Grand Cayman Island. It combines Absolut Vodka, cream liqueur, Irish cream liqueur, and velvety vanilla ice cream. You could just say it’s a dessert in a glass.

Each sip starts with the rich, creamy taste of vanilla ice cream. The Irish cream adds a hint of chocolate and coffee notes, while the cream liqueur brings a silky sweetness. Absolut Vodka cuts through with a crisp, clean finish. The Mudslide is a luxurious treat on a warm evening.
