Blue Hawaiian Cocktail
Yesterday after a long day of recipe testing, I found myself craving something tropical to transport me away from my kitchen. This Blue Hawaiian cocktail has become my go-to escape in a glass, reminding me of that one unforgettable beach vacation where I first discovered this vibrant drink. I love how the creamy coconut and bright pineapple come together—it’s like a mini-vacation no matter the weather.
Ingredients
– 2 oz light rum
– 1 oz blue curaçao
– 2 oz pineapple juice
– 1 oz cream of coconut
– 1 cup ice cubes
– 1 pineapple wedge (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Fill a cocktail shaker with 1 cup of ice cubes.
2. Pour 2 oz light rum into the shaker.
3. Add 1 oz blue curaçao to the shaker.
4. Measure and pour 2 oz pineapple juice into the shaker.
5. Add 1 oz cream of coconut to the shaker. *Tip: Shake the cream of coconut well before measuring to ensure proper consistency.*
6. Secure the shaker lid tightly and shake vigorously for 15 seconds until the outside feels frosty. *Tip: Hold the shaker with both hands—one on the lid, one on the base—to prevent leaks.*
7. Strain the mixture into a chilled highball glass filled with fresh ice. *Tip: Chill your glass in the freezer for 10 minutes beforehand for a frostier drink.*
8. Garnish with 1 pineapple wedge on the rim of the glass.
The result is a creamy, smooth texture with a sweet-tart balance that’s irresistibly refreshing. I sometimes serve it with a colorful paper umbrella for that extra festive touch, or pair it with grilled shrimp skewers for a full tropical experience.

Ocean Breeze Punch
Finally, after that sweltering summer barbecue where everyone was begging for something refreshing, I created this Ocean Breeze Punch that instantly became my go-to party drink.

Bahama Mama Twist with Coconut
Sometimes you just need a tropical escape right in your own kitchen, and that’s exactly what happened last week when I was craving something sweet but didn’t want to turn on the oven.

- Add 1 cup crushed ice to the blender, making sure the ice is evenly distributed around the other ingredients for smoother blending.
- Pour 1/4 cup coconut cream into the blender, scraping the measuring cup with a spatula to get all the thick cream incorporated.
- Secure the blender lid tightly and blend on high speed for 45 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth with no ice chunks remaining.
- Check the consistency by tilting the blender—the mixture should pour easily but be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Divide the mixture evenly between two chilled glasses, filling each about three-quarters full to leave room for garnishes.
- Place 2-3 maraschino cherries in each glass, pushing them slightly into the drink so they don’t roll off.

Blue Raspberry Vodka Cooler
Last weekend, I was cleaning out my liquor cabinet and found a forgotten bottle of blue raspberry vodka that immediately transported me back to college parties. Let’s just say my mixing skills have improved significantly since those days, and this refreshing cooler is proof that sometimes the simplest combinations create the most memorable drinks.
Ingredients
– 2 cups ice
– 4 oz blue raspberry vodka

– 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
– 2 tbsp simple syrup
– 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
– 4 lemon slices
Instructions
1. Fill a cocktail shaker with 1 cup of ice cubes.
2. Pour 4 oz blue raspberry vodka into the shaker.
3. Add 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice to the shaker.
4. Measure and pour 2 tbsp simple syrup into the mixture.
5. Place 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves in your palm and clap once to release the oils before adding to shaker.
6. Secure the shaker lid tightly and shake vigorously for 15 seconds until the outside feels frosty.

Keep these vibrant blue coolers away from direct sunlight if serving outdoors, as the color can fade surprisingly fast. The result is a perfectly balanced cocktail where the sweet blue raspberry vodka plays beautifully against the tart lemon, creating an electric blue hue that’s almost too pretty to drink—almost.

6. Garnish each serving with a small pineapple wedge on the rim of the glass.
7. Serve immediately while the mixture maintains its frozen texture.

I love serving these in hollowed-out pineapples for an extra tropical touch that always impresses my guests.

Frosty and refreshing, this daiquiri has the perfect slush-like texture that melts just slowly enough to enjoy every sip. The bright blue color makes it feel like a tropical celebration in a glass, while the balance of sweet and tart flavors keeps you coming back for more. I love serving these with colorful paper umbrellas for that extra vacation vibe, even if I’m just lounging on my patio.
Blue Curacao Sour Mix
Getting that perfect tropical cocktail flavor at home used to feel impossible until I discovered how to make my own blue curaçao sour mix. I first tried this during a particularly gray winter when I was craving beach vibes, and now it’s my go-to for entertaining or just brightening up a Tuesday evening. The vibrant blue color alone is enough to lift your spirits before you even take the first sip.
Ingredients
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup water
– 1 cup fresh lemon juice
– 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
– 3/4 cup blue curaçao liqueur
Instructions
1. Combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan.
2. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk until the sugar completely dissolves, which should take about 3-4 minutes.
3. Remove the saucepan from heat immediately once the sugar dissolves to prevent the simple syrup from becoming too thick.
4. Let the simple syrup cool to room temperature for approximately 20 minutes; I usually set a timer to avoid rushing this step.
5. Pour the cooled simple syrup into a clean glass pitcher or mason jar.
6. Add 1 cup fresh lemon juice to the pitcher; using freshly squeezed lemon juice rather than bottled makes a noticeable difference in brightness.
7. Add 1/2 cup fresh lime juice to the mixture.
8. Slowly pour in 3/4 cup blue curaçao liqueur while gently stirring with a long spoon to combine all ingredients evenly.
9. Cover the container tightly with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until thoroughly chilled.
10. Give the mixture one final stir before serving to ensure the flavors are well incorporated. Something about that electric blue color against the tart citrus flavor creates such a fun contrast. I love serving this over ice with a salt rim for that sweet-salty balance, or mixing it with sparkling water for a non-alcoholic version that’s just as refreshing.
