How to make a Cinderella cocktail

This drink is very easy to make. It’s ready in less than 5 minutes!

Add the ice

Add ice to a cocktail shaker.
Pour the ingredients over the ice.

Shake and strain

Shake vigorously together for about 15 seconds to combine.
Strain the drink into two martini glasses and enjoy.

For a fancy touch and extra sweetness, dip the glass rim in juice and coat it with sanding sugar.

Why use a cocktail shaker?

If you love to make cocktails, you will have noted that many recipes call for using a cocktail shaker. Why not just dump everything into a mason jar and give it a shake? Won’t that work?

This drink is not served over ice, so it can get warm quickly at room temperature.

To offset this, the cocktail is made in a cocktail shaker. This bar tool gets very cold when you shake it, since it is made of metal. That makes the drink get much colder than if you shake it in a normal jar.

Why use blue in this Cinderella drink?

There is some controversy about the colors at the ball in the original movie. What seems to start as a white dress turns blue during the ball.

However, there is no dispute that the color blue is a recurring element in both the old Cinderella movie and the recent remake.

From the prince’s blue eyes to the mice’s jackets and Cinderella’s lavish ball gown, we are treated to blue again and again.

To keep the drink focused on this blue theme, the ingredients call for blue curaçao and cream, which give the cocktail a creamy blue color reminiscent of Cinderella’s gown
