Main Content

Ingredients (One Serving)

  • 45 ml (1.5 fl oz) white rum
  • 15 ml (0.5 fl oz) blue curaçao liqueur
  • 60 ml (2 fl oz) pineapple juice, well chilled
  • 30 ml (1 fl oz) coconut cream or coconut milk beverage (well shaken)
  • 90 g (about 1 cup) ice cubes
  • Optional garnish: 1 pineapple wedge and 1 maraschino cherry

Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker with strainer, or a jar with a tight lid
  • Jigger or measuring spoons/cup
  • Short or tall glass (250–350 ml capacity)

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prepare the glass: Place your serving glass in the refrigerator or freezer for 5–10 minutes to chill. If you prefer, add a few ice cubes to the glass while you prepare the drink and discard them just before pouring.
  2. Measure the liquids: Using a jigger or measuring spoons, measure 45 ml white rum, 15 ml blue curaçao, 60 ml pineapple juice, and 30 ml coconut cream into a small container or directly into the shaker.
  3. Fill the shaker with ice: Add about 90 g (1 cup) ice cubes to the cocktail shaker. Pour the measured liquids over the ice, ensuring the lid can still close securely.
  4. Shake until well chilled: Seal the shaker and shake firmly for 15–20 seconds, or until the outside of the shaker feels very cold to the touch and the mixture looks well combined and opaque.
  5. Strain and serve: Remove the ice from the chilled glass if you used it for chilling. Using the shaker’s strainer, pour the Blue Hawaiian mixture into the glass. If you prefer, you can pour over fresh ice cubes added to the glass just before serving.
  6. Optional garnish: If using garnishes, place a pineapple wedge on the rim of the glass and add a maraschino cherry on top or on a cocktail pick. Serve immediately after preparation.
