he Blue Hawaiian is a cocktail that is a has all the great flavors we love about Hawaii. Of course pineapple, coconut make this drink a favorite of mine. The combination goes together so well, it is hard not to fall in love with this drink.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 3/4 oz rum
  • 2 oz pineapple juice
  • 3/4 oz blue curaao
  • 3/4 oz creme de coconut
  1. Step 1

    When you are drinking it, it is hard to tell there is alcohol in it (at least that's what I think). So it is easy to drink many of these and then realize just how it has altered you until you stand up. SO try to sip it slowly, if that is possible. Here are three different recipes that I have tried myself and love.

  2. Step 2

    Mix the above ingredients together into a mixing glass filled with ice.
    Shake well.
    Strain into a glass filled with ice.
    Garnish with a piece of pineapple and a cherry.
    Enjoy!

  3. Step 3

    Second variation ....

    1 Shot Dark Rum
    1 Shot White Rum
    2 Shots Blue Curaao
    2 Shots Orange Juice

    Combine the ingredients into a mixer filled with ice.
    Shake well.
    Strain into a glass filled with ice.
    Garnish with a orange slice, cherry, or piece of pineapple.
    Enjoy!

  4. Step 4

    Third variation ....

    1 1/2 oz Vodka
    1/2 oz Blue Curacao
    1/4 oz Creme de Coconut
    4 oz Pineapple Juice

    Combine all the ingredients into a mixer filled with ice.
    Shake well.
    Strain into a glass filled with ice.
    Garnish with a piece of pineapple, or cherry. (maybe both)
    Enjoy!

  5. Step 5

    f you want to enjoy a great alternative approach to the Blue Hawaiian, mix the ingredients in a blender with ice until slushy like. Usually like 20 second is ideal. Then pour into a glass and garnish the same.

    There are many different variations on the Blue Hawaiian, as with almost all cocktails. So trying different recipes is the way to find the perfect one for you. Blue Hawaiians are always a great hit at pool parties!
