Ingredients
- 1 1/2 oz pineapple juice
- 1 oz orange juice

- Sparkling water to top
- Salt and dried edible flowers for the rim

Instructions
- Mix the salt and dried edible flowers together in a shallow dish. Moisten the rim of a cocktail glass with a lime wedge, then roll the rim in the salt mixture until fully coated. Set aside.

Notes
Blue spirulina is flavorless and provides the vivid blue color. It can be found at health food stores or online.
Cream of coconut is sweetened — do not substitute with unsweetened coconut cream.
For the clearest, smoothest color, double strain using both the shaker strainer and a fine mesh sieve.
To make ahead, combine all ingredients except sparkling water and refrigerate the base for up to 24 hours. Shake with ice and top with sparkling water just before serving.
To make a pitcher, multiply ingredients by the number of servings. Add sparkling water per glass just before serving.
