Method
- 1
Prepare Your Tools and Ingredients
Gather all your ingredients: 45 ml light rum, 15 ml blue curaçao, 90 ml pineapple juice, and 45 ml sweet and sour mix. Have your cocktail shaker, jigger, and a hurricane or tall glass ready. Prepare your garnishes: a pineapple wedge and a maraschino cherry.
Ensure all your liquid ingredients are chilled for the best cocktail experience.
- 2
Combine and Shake
Fill your cocktail shaker about two-thirds full with ice. Carefully pour in the 45 ml light rum, 15 ml blue curaçao, 90 ml pineapple juice, and 45 ml sweet and sour mix. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the shaker is well-chilled on the outside.
Shaking thoroughly ensures all ingredients are properly mixed and chilled, creating a smooth, integrated flavor.
Shake: 0.33 min

Strain and Serve
Fill your chosen serving glass (hurricane or tall glass) with fresh ice. Remove the lid from the shaker and use a cocktail strainer to strain the vibrant blue mixture into the prepared glass. This ensures a smooth drink without diluted ice from the shaker.
Using fresh ice in the serving glass prevents the drink from becoming watery too quickly.

Garnish and Enjoy
Carefully place the pineapple wedge on the rim of the glass. Skewer the maraschino cherry with a cocktail pick and add it to the drink, or simply drop it in. Your beautiful and refreshing Blue Hawaii is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve immediately for the best experience.
A colorful garnish not only enhances the drink's presentation but also adds to the tropical experience.
