- ice
- pineapple wedge
- maraschino cherry
How To Make Blue Hawaiian?
- Shake the ingredients: Add sour mix, pineapple juice, blue curaçao, and Malibu Rum to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well.
- Pour into a glass: Strain the mixture into a hurricane glass filled with ice.
- Garnish and serve: Add a pineapple wedge and maraschino cherry if desired. Enjoy!
Recipe Tips:
- Use chilled ingredients: For the best taste, keep the pineapple juice and sour mix cold before making the drink. This keeps the cocktail refreshing without melting the ice too quickly.
- Shake properly for the best flavor: Shake the ingredients for at least 10-15 seconds to mix everything well and bring out the perfect balance of flavors. A quick shake won’t blend them properly.
- Use crushed ice for a smoother drink: Crushed ice melts more evenly and blends better with the drink, making each sip smooth and refreshing. If using regular ice cubes, stir before drinking to keep it chilled.
- Choose a good-quality blue curaçao: The quality of blue curaçao affects the flavor. A cheap one may taste too bitter or artificial. A good brand will give a smoother, citrusy taste.
- Adjust sweetness to your taste: If you want it less sweet, add a splash of club soda or use a homemade sour mix with fresh lemon and lime juice instead of store-bought.
How To Store Leftovers?
First, let the leftover Blue Hawaiian sit until it reaches room temperature. Then, transfer it to an airtight container or a sealed bottle and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir well before serving.
