Blue Hawaii with Rum and Curaçao
Ingredients
Step by step process
Preparing the Glasses
- 1
Properly chilled glasses are the first step to a perfect blue hawaii. Place four tall hurricane or highball glasses in the freezer for at least ten minutes.
- 2
Slice fresh pineapple and prepare cocktail cherries for garnish. Cut the slices so they can be slipped onto the rim of each glass.
Mixing the Cocktail
- 3
Into a cocktail shaker filled with ice, pour the white rum, blue curaçao, pineapple juice, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and optionally coconut cream for a silkier texture.
- 4
Seal the shaker tightly and shake vigorously for about fifteen to twenty seconds, until the outside fogs up and the contents are perfectly chilled and combined. Well-chilled ingredients give the drink its vivid blue color.
- 5
Place large ice cubes into the chilled glasses, filling them to about two-thirds, so the drink stays icy throughout.
Serving
- 6
Strain the finished cocktail carefully through a fine sieve into the prepared ice-filled glasses, keeping any small ice chips from the shaker out of the drink.
- 7
Place a slice of fresh pineapple on the rim of each glass, thread a cocktail cherry onto a skewer, and garnish with a mint leaf for a fresh aroma.
- 8
Serve immediately with a straw, while the drink is an intense blue, well chilled, and aromatic.
More tips:
For a more pronounced tropical flavor, add a tablespoon of Coco López coconut cream to the shaker. The drink will take on a creamier texture close to a Piña Colada.
