A tasty, blue-hued tropical Blue Hawaiian Mocktail recipe that is refreshing, sweet, and absolutely delicious! This fun drink has simple ingredients and tastes like paradise with every sip! Make it a mocktail or co*cktail with easy steps.
What is the History of the Blue Hawaiian co*cktail?
The Blue Hawaiian co*cktail is a classic tropical drink with fruity flavors, including rum, Blue Curaçao, pineapple juice, and coconut cream.
It is believed to have originated in Hawaii and is widely attributed to bartender Harry Yee. Yee was a renowned bartender who worked at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki, Oahu. In addition to co*cktails like the mai tai and pina colada, this delicious tropical drink has become popular among visitors to Hawaii.
This Blue Hawaiian mocktail captures the tropical essence of the original co*cktail, offering a refreshing and fruity, gorgeous drink with vibrant aquamarine color. It’s a delightful choice for those seeking a non-alcoholic beverage that transports you to vacation and relaxation on a tropical island in no time.

Ingredient Notes
Mocktail Version
- Pineapple juice
- Orange juice: Instead of an alcoholic orange liqueur like triple sec, I used orange juice.
- Blue curacao syrup: While the classic blue curacao liqueur is alcoholic, the non-alcoholic version is easy to find on Amazon or in specialty stores like BevMo.
- Cream of coconut: For a less sweet version, you can also use unsweetened canned coconut cream or the thick part of a can of coconut milk.
- Lemon juice
- Coconut water
- Lemon-lime soda: For a low-sugar option, use Zevia or Olipop. If sugar isn’t an issue, feel free to use Sprite or 7Up.
co*cktail Version
- Coconut rum or Pineapple vodka: To make the alcoholic version of this blue Hawaiian co*cktail recipe, add a shot of coconut rum, white rum, or pineapple vodka.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Add all ingredients except the lemon-lime soda to a co*cktail shaker. Shake vigorously for 30 seconds. Strain over crushed ice. Top with the lemon-lime soda and garnish with an orange slice.
Mac’s Pro Tips
Expert Tips
- Blended: If you want this blended, instead of over ice, simply add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth! Pour into your favorite glass and garnish as desired. It’ll have the same beautiful blue color, just a frozen version!
Serving Tips
- Serve this blue Hawaiian mocktail in your favorite co*cktail glass over ice cubes and garnish with a slice of orange and a co*cktail umbrella!
- Other classic garnishes are a maraschino cherry and/or a fresh pineapple wedge. Feel free to garnish as desired.
Recipe FAQs
What’s the difference between Blue Hawaii vs. Blue Hawaiian?
There’s really only one major difference. The Blue Hawaii co*cktail contains a sweet and sour mix, and the Blue Hawaiian drink uses cream of coconut. One is more tangy, and the other has more of a creamy coconut flavor.
