A tropical twist on the classic summer drink, this Blue Hawaiian Cocktail recipe takes this beautiful blue drink to a whole new fruity level!
Enjoy the sunsational taste of the tropics with this fun and fruity ocean-blue summer cocktail. The Blue Hawaiian Cocktail is one of those refreshing drinks that are made for those long, lazy, summer days that you just don’t want to end.
In fact, just the name Blue Hawaiian evokes images of refreshingly cool, shimmery blue seas lapping against the warm sandy seashore while white gulls glide overhead.
Aside from its deliciously refreshing taste, another reason this libation is one of my favorite summer cocktails is that it’s so easy to make. Simply mix the ingredients together, shake and you’ll be tasting paradise in no time!
How to Make a Blue Hawaiian Cocktail
Similar to the Ocean Breeze and Blue Lagoon cocktails, the original Blue Hawaiian drink recipe calls for Blue Curaçao to get that dreamy blue color, and a splash of citrus juice for that fruity taste.
Unlike these two drinks, the Blue Hawaiian cocktail recipe uses rum instead of vodka and adds some coconut for a truly tropical taste.
My version of this adult drink, however, takes things a bit further with a combination of white rum and pineapple rum for a taste that will truly transport you to your favorite island getaway!
You’ll find the complete ingredient list and instructions in the printable recipe card near the end of this blue cocktail recipe post.

This delicious summer party drink is already colorful and fruity, but when you add a tropical-themed cocktail pick or paper umbrella it becomes just as fun to look at as it is to drink!
Blue Hawaiian Cocktail Ingredients
The ingredients in this deliciously fruity summer cocktail include:
Pineapple juice – Dole is my go-to brand for this cocktail
Blue Curaçao – gives this dreamy drink it’s captivating blue color
White Rum – When it comes to white rum, my favorite is Bacardi. However, feel free to use your favorite brand.
Pineapple Rum – takes the bite off the white rum, I prefer Malibu.
Coconut Cream – also known as cream of coconut, this blends perfectly with the pineapple for a tropical taste
Blue Hawaiian Cocktail Instructions
- Place the ice, pineapple juice, Blue Curaçao, rum and cream of coconut into a cocktail shaker.
- Shake well to combine.
- Divide evenly among 2 glasses with ice.
- Garnish each with an orange slice, lemon slice, pineapple wedge, or a cherry. And don’t forget the paper umbrella!
Now all that’s left is to enjoy, or komo i ka as they say in Hawaii.
Aloha ‘oe!
