The Blue Hawaii is a tropical cocktail made of rum, pineapple juice, blue Curacao, sweet and sour mix, and sometimes vodka as well. It should not be confused with the similarly named Blue Hawaiian cocktail that contains creme of coconut instead of sweet and sour mix, and never includes vodka.
Serve: On the rocks; poured over ice in a Hurricane glass
Garnish: pineapple, or orange quarter slice, maraschino cherry
Ingredients:
3/4 ounce Light Rum
3/4 ounce Vodka
1/2 ounce Blue Curacao
3 ounces unsweetened pineapple juice
1 ounce Sweet & Sour
Prep:
Combine all ingredients with ice, stir or shake, then pour into a hurricane glass with the ice. For garnish score pineapple or orange slice with a knife and inert onto rim of glass; optionally use toothpick or cocktail umbrella to spear maraschino cherry through center and attach to top of fruit slice; otherwise float cherry on top of ice.
Tip:
For best results do not use bottled Sweet and Sour mix, but rather make your own at the bar with fresh citrus juice and simple syrup. This advice applies to any drink that calls for Sweet and Sour.
