Cocktails were served in a documentary I was watching recently. This cocktail had a beautiful blue color, you may already know which cocktail it is about. Today it’s about a cocktail that really radiates summer for me. A summer where you go on vacation to a tropical place and drink this cocktail. Everyone will like this cocktail or may try this because of it’s color. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at how to make Blue Hawaiian.
What is the definition of Blue Hawaiian
The meaning of Blue Hawaiian is:
”a Pina Colada with Blue Curacao that gives the blue color. The cocktail is made with rum and blue curacao, pineapple juice and coconut cream”.
Blue Hawaiian
There are two cocktails that are very similar in name, yet very different. So you have the Blue Hawai and Blue Hawaiian. Below are the differences:
- Blue Hawai: rum, blue curacao, pineapple juice, sweet and sour mix, vodka
- Blue Hawaiian: rum, blue curacao, pineapple juice and coconut cream
The difference between the two cocktails is made that one contains a sweet and sour mix and the other coconut cream. So today we’re going to talk about the second cocktail. This cocktail is also known as the swimming pool. It is the well-known cocktail pina colada, only with some other additives. You can choose to make the normal version or the frozen version. For the normal version you only need a glass and shaker. If you want the frozen Blue Hawaiian, you need a blender and crushed ice. This gives you a thicker structure.
Blue Hawaiian Recipe
This cocktail recipe is so easy. You need the following ingredients: white rum, blue curaçao, pineapple juice, coconut cream and ice.
The first step in making this cocktail is determining whether you are going to use a shaker or immediately in your long-drink glass. I recommend to use a shaker. When you have your shaker, start measuring the 25 ml of blue curacao and 25 ml of white rum and add this to the shaker. If you want to add more that’s also possible. Or you can taste it first and afterwards add some more of one of these ingredients.
The next step is to measure 40 ml of pineapple juice and 15 ml of coconut cream. Add these also in the shaker. When all the ingredients are in the shaker start shaking. Pour the mixture in the glass and add some ice cubes. On the side of the glass you can add a piece of pineapple.
Frozen Blue Hawaiian
The frozen version is almost the same. You can use the same ingredients, but you need a blender. You add the ingredients in the blender together with some ice cubes. When the ice get’s crushed the mixture will change. It will become thicker!
