Tips for the Best Blue Hawaiian
- Shake well: Cream of coconut can separate, so a good shake ensures everything blends smoothly.
- Chill your glass: For a frosty presentation, keep your glass in the freezer for 10 minutes before serving.
- Blended option: For a frozen version, blend all ingredients with a cup of ice until smooth.
- Batch it: Hosting a crowd? Multiply the ingredients and mix in a pitcher. Shake individual servings with ice before pouring.
- Don’t forget to drink responsibly!
Ingredients & Substitutions
- Ice – Essential for chilling and blending the cocktail to a smooth, refreshing texture.
- White Rum – Use a light rum for a clean, crisp base. You could also try coconut rum for an extra tropical twist.
- Blue Curaçao – This bright blue liqueur adds citrus notes and the signature colour. Triple sec with a drop of blue food colouring works really well too, and can give the cocktail better flavour.
- Pineapple Juice – Fresh or canned juice both work well, just be sure it’s 100% juice for the best flavour.
- Cream of Coconut – Adds a rich, sweet, and creamy element. Not to be confused with coconut milk or coconut cream. Can be omitted if you aren’t a fan or have an allergy.
- Fresh Lemon Juice – Adds brightness and balances the sweetness. Lime juice can be used for a sharper edge.
- Garnish: Pineapple wedge and maraschino cherry – for the perfect tropical finish.
