Why You’ll Love this Sparkling Cocktail

In the summer, I love preparing drinks with lots of sweet and tropical flavors to help beat the heat.

This Blue Hawaiian cocktail is flavored with creamy coconut and tangy pineapple for a classic combination that will take you right to the beach!

Best of all, it’s so easy to prepare this cocktail in your own kitchen. Whip up a big pitcher for parties and barbecues and garnish with fresh fruits for a stunning presentation your friends will adore.

With coconut rum and champagne and some blue Curaçao for a citrus twist, this gorgeous sparkling drink will become a summer favorite!

Another favorite coconut rum cocktail is this tropical and fruity Bahama Mama – perfect for an afternoon by the pool.

 

Ingredients for a Pitcher of Sparkling Blue Hawaiian 

• Coconut Cream – Coconut Cream adds a subtle creaminess to your cocktail as well as additional coconut flavor.
• Blue Curaçao – gives this drink its signature blue color, as well as an extra twist of citrus.
• Coconut Rum – feel free to use your favorite coconut rum–you don’t need anything too expensive!
• Champagne – for a fizzy bubbly lift. I actually prefer to use Prosecco, but both work fine.
• Pineapple Juice – Pineapple juice pairs well with the coconut flavor and evokes classic drinks like piña coladas.
• Ice Cubes – you’ll want to serve this drink ice cold.
• Pineapple Slices – for garnish and to accentuate the pineapple flavor.
• Cherries – provide an extra pop of color that ties everything together.

 

How to Make a Large Batch of Blue Hawaiian Drinks

FAQS

How do I make a frozen blue Hawaiian?

To turn this into a frozen slushy drink, combine all of the ingredients in a blender with some extra ice. Give it a blend and check for consistency. If it’s too thick, try adding more liquid. If it’s too thin, more ice.

You may want to omit the Champagne if you do this method, as the drink won’t retain as much of its fizziness in slush form. But feel free to experiment and see what happens!

How do I make a sparkling blue Hawaiian mocktail?

Mix the pineapple juice and coconut cream with some blue fruit punch and use sparkling white grape juice or sparkling cider instead of the sparkling wine.

You could also use blue food coloring to achieve the desired color. For even more sweetness, try a lemon-lime soda for the carbonation instead.

Can I use coconut cream right from the can?

You can, but sometimes it can be beneficial to give the coconut cream a whirl in your blender before using it in your cocktails. This will ensure it has an ultra-smooth and creamy consistency.

That being said, if you’re pressed for time, it’s perfectly fine to use it right from the can–it will be delicious either way!

 

Popular Variations and Substitutions

• Using other kinds of rum can diversify the flavor profile of this drink. Malibu sells a variety of rums infused with flavors like strawberry, pineapple, lime, watermelon, and more!
• You can also make your own rum infusions by mixing fresh fruit into rum and letting it rest for 2-3 days. I recommend kiwi, pineapple, papaya, dragon fruit, or starfruit for a fun and exotic rum infusion!
• Feel free to throw in a splash of orange juice as well; it will compliment the citrus flavor of the Curaçao. Just be aware it may alter the color of the cocktail a bit.
• Another great idea for garnish is a slice of orange.
• Edible flowers are also perfect for garnish if you want something especially elegant. Lavender, violets, and rose petals would be beautiful with this blue Hawaiian.
• Stir some fresh fruit into the pitcher to really infuse your drinks with fruity flavor.
