Okay, Internet, I am throwing a Star Wars cantina themed birthday party and am trying to nail down a batch cocktail to serve as “spotchka.” According to lore, it is a glowing blue drink made from krill:

I don’t know if it’s explicitly stated that it’s alcoholic, but it feels implied based on the drink showing up in bars and cantinas and in gambling contexts.
I won’t be making something fishy, but I thought tropical would be fun. Suggestions?
@cassidy I invented something last year that’s kind of like a Blue Hawaiian but better — I call it the Russian Expat https://github.com/darkuncle/cookbook/blob/master/russian_expat.txt
(It’s pretty sweet; a little lemon juice in there would probably go well. Or some passion fruit puree)
@cassidy How about a "Blue Hawaiian"? It's a classic tropical drink and very light blue. I've included a photo but you could 'de fancify' it and make it more star wars-y
White Rum 1.5 oz
Blue Curaçao 0.75 oz
Pineapple Juice 2 oz
Cream of Coconut 0.75 oz
Fresh Lemon Juice 0.5 oz
@scottjenson yes! This is pretty similar to what I have been going for, but I think the cream of coconut might be what I'm missing for the lightness and opacity. Thank you!
