Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love how simple yet impressive this drink is. It only takes a few minutes to blend up, but it looks and tastes like something I’d get at a fancy beachside café. The flavors are perfectly balanced—creamy from the coconut, sweet from the pineapple, and just enough zing from the lime. And the blue color? It’s a total crowd-pleaser every single time. Whether I’m making it for myself or serving it to friends, it always brings a little tropical magic to the day.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

For the base:
1 cup pineapple juice (fresh or canned)
1/2 cup coconut cream (not coconut milk)
1/4 cup blue curaçao syrup (non-alcoholic)
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
2 cups ice cubes

For garnish:
Pineapple wedges
Maraschino cherries
Paper umbrellas (optional)

Directions

I start by adding 2 cups of ice to the blender.
Then I pour in the pineapple juice, coconut cream, blue curaçao syrup, and lime juice.
I blend everything until smooth and slushy—usually about 30 seconds.
I pour it into tall chilled glasses. Hurricane glasses work great if I have them.
I top it off with a pineapple wedge, a cherry, and a paper umbrella for a fun tropical touch.

This recipe makes 2 servings and comes together in just 5 minutes. It’s a fast and easy way to create a vacation-worthy drink without any hassle. Each serving has about 190 calories.

Variations

I like switching things up depending on my mood or what I have in the kitchen:

Frozen Blue Hawaiian: I use frozen pineapple chunks instead of ice for a thicker, more intense flavor.
Coconut Blue Hawaiian: I add extra coconut cream and sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top for a creamy twist.
Blue Hawaiian Punch: I make a larger batch in a punch bowl with floating pineapple and orange slices for parties.
Spicy Blue Hawaiian: I drop in a thin slice of jalapeño for a subtle heat that pairs surprisingly well with the sweetness.
Blue Hawaiian Float: I top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a dessert-style version that’s extra indulgent.

Storage/Reheating

I mix the juice, coconut cream, blue syrup, and lime juice ahead of time and store the base in the fridge for up to 24 hours. When I’m ready to serve, I just blend it with ice. I always blend fresh before serving, since the texture doesn’t hold up well if it sits too long after blending.

FAQs

Can I make this Blue Hawaiian Mocktail ahead of time?

Yes, I often mix the ingredients (except the ice) ahead of time and store them in the fridge. When I’m ready to serve, I just blend with ice and it’s ready to go.

What can I use instead of blue curaçao syrup?

If I can’t find blue curaçao syrup, I use blue raspberry syrup with a drop of orange extract. If I’m in a pinch, I mix blue food coloring with a splash of orange juice, though the flavor will be slightly different.

Why is my mocktail separating?

If I notice the drink separating, it’s usually the coconut cream. I make sure to blend everything thoroughly and serve right away. If I’ve made the base ahead of time, I just give it a quick blend again before serving.

Is this drink good for kids?

Absolutely! Kids love the bright blue color and sweet fruity flavor. If I’m making it for kids, I sometimes cut the lime juice a bit or add a banana to make it more smoothie-like.

How can I make this mocktail less sweet?

If I want it less sweet, I use unsweetened pineapple juice or add a bit more lime juice to balance things out. Sometimes I add a splash of coconut water to mellow the sweetness without changing the tropical flavor.

Conclusion

This Blue Hawaiian Mocktail has become my favorite way to bring a little sunshine into any day. It’s quick, easy, and bursting with tropical flavor. I love how customizable it is and how it always makes people smile. Whether I’m hosting a party or just taking a break on the patio, this drink brings all the good vibes.
