Blue Hawaiian

An electric-blue tiki throwback: rum, blue curaçao, pineapple and sweet cream of coconut over crushed ice. Creamy, orange-tinged and unapologetically vacation-colored.

Garnish: Pineapple wedge (1 wedge)

How to make it

  1. 1

    Add rum, blue curaçao, pineapple juice and cream of coconut to a shaker with ice.

  2. 2

    Shake hard so the cream of coconut fully blends in.

  3. 3

    Strain into a hurricane glass filled with crushed ice.

Swap it: No blue curaçao? Triple sec gives the same orange flavor — the drink just won't be blue.
