When thinking about what to create to make a cocktail on tap, I began to thing about some of the classic mix drinks, we’ve seen, had and have proven their staying power in the spirits world.

For Burning Man, I wanted to lighten this cocktail up a hair.  When thinking about a party, whether its one night or for a week in the desert with 70,000 of my closest friends, alcohol is a de-hydrater.  To replace coconut milk, with coconut water, adds vital nutrients, that can help replenish our bodies as we drink, reducing the hangover effect.  This cocktail still has that blue hue, and in the right glass really shines.

Instructions
  • Begin by having a clean and sanitized 5 gallon keg ready and the lid removed. I like to purge the keg with Nitrogen | CO2 Blend, as this gas is heavier than air, helping preventing oxygenation.
  • Pour in the rum, pineapple juice, Blue Curaçao liquor, coconut water, coconut milk and bitters. Seal with its lid and attach the CO2 to the out port on the keg. Turn the regulator to 40 PSI and begin to shake the keg. After a few shakes, lift the pressure relief value to purge any remaining air in the keg. This will also help keep the chance of this cocktail going bad.
  • Shake the keg for 3 - 4 minutes, letting the keg fill with gas, while mixing the cocktail.
  • Remove the gas line and label the cocktail. Place it into a The libation Trailer, kegerator or other refrigeration and keep below 40. Before serving, give the keg a shake, just to be sure all the ingredients are mixed.
  • To serve, pour with Nitrogen | CO2 Blend gas into a glass. Ice can be added, if the weather is hot.
