Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 1 oz light rum
• 1oz blue curacao
• 2 oz pineapple juice
• 1 oz cream of coconut
• 1 cup crushed ice
• Pineapple slice, cherry and umbrella for garnish

You will need a blender to mix these all up.

The star of this cocktail is the Blue Curacao, that not only gives the drink its distinctive blue color but also adds a slight citrusy hint to the mix. Pair that with the tropical flavours of pineapple juice and coconut cream, and you have a delicious cocktail. If any of these ingredients are a challenge to find, you can substitute cream of coconut with coconut milk and blue curacao with a mix of orange liqueur and a drop or two of blue food coloring.

How To Make Blue Hawaiian

1. In your blender, add the rum, blue curacao, pineapple juice, and cream of coconut.
2. Add the crushed ice on top.
3. Blend until everything is fully incorporated and smooth. Make sure the ice has been completely crushed and there are no chunks left. This will ensure you get a creamy consistency.
4. Pour this refreshing mix into a hurricane or highball glass, garnish with a pineapple slice, cherry, and don’t forget the umbrella.
5. And just like that in less than 5 minutes, your tropical Blue Hawaiian Cocktail is ready to serve. Enjoy!

Tips For The Best Results

• Use fresh pineapple juice for the best flavour.
• Don’t skimp on ice! The more, the merrier.

Storage Tips

• Best consumed immediately. Putting it in the fridge can dilute the flavours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can this be turned into a non-alcoholic drink?
A: Sure thing! Just swap the rum and blue curacao with some citrus soda and you got yourself a “Blue Hawaiian Mocktail”.
