HOW TO MAKE A BLUE HAWAIIAN COCKTAIL, STEP BY STEP:
- In cocktail shaker add your coconut flavored rum.
- Next add your Blue Curacao.
- Add in your pineapple juice.
- Shake it all up until combined and pour over crushed ice.
Easy peasy right? Thats what I thought. The pineapple, coconut and orange really work well together in this Blue Hawaiian Cocktail recipe, the flavors just mesh.
Now if you’re not familiar with Blue Curacao, it’s a bright blue liquor that is flavored with orange. The blue is just an artificial coloring.
So in reality if you really wanted a cocktail not as pretty you could just use triple sec, but I mean come on, who doesn’t love a bright blue tropical drink?
We first started making this recipe years ago when we found it on this site. But we switched up the ingredients a bit because we didn’t always have access to Cream of Coconut.
So coconut rum and a little more of it was they key to finding the right balance in this Blue Hawaiian Recipe for sure.
Really when it comes to easy drinks you can never go wrong with a Blue Hawaiian! they are super easy to whip up, fruity and guests love them at parties.
Heck you can make one big ole batch of it with a ladle and have everyone pour themselves a drink, I mean the measurements aren’t that hard, so it would be perfect for parties.
TIPS AND TRICKS:
- If you have access to cream of coconut then you can use it in this recipe as 1 oz combined with the remaining ingredients, it will add more a sweet coconut flavor.
- We love crushed ice, but you can use just regular or pebble ice if you have it.
- If you can’t find Blue Curacao then you can use Triple Sec in a pinch.
- This makes one drink, but you can easily double or triple for more.
If you want an easy refreshing summertime drink, look no further this Blue Hawaiian Cocktail is exactly what the doctor ordered!
