Dive into paradise with this electric Blue Hawaiian cocktail recipe.

Polynesian pizzazz takes centre stage with our showstopping Blue Hawaiian cocktail recipe. This Tiki-bar legend blends light rum, pineapple juice, cream of coconut, blue curaçao, and a fizzy splash of sparkling water into a drink that’s equal parts creamy, citrusy, and unapologetically blue.

What is a Blue Hawaiian drink? Think of it as the piña colada’s technicolor twin - a rum-based wonder that swaps subtlety for sky-blue swagger. The magic lies in blue curaçao, an orange-flavoured liqueur dyed azure blue, which transforms this sensational sip of sunshine into a liquid postcard from Waikiki.

The origin of the Blue Hawaiian cocktail recipe is soaked in Tiki bar lore. While the Blue Hawaii cocktail (its vodka-based sibling) was born in 1957 at Honolulu’s Hilton Hawaiian Village, the Blue Hawaiian drink emerged as a creamier, rum-based remix. Bartender Harry Yee - the genius behind the original - pioneered the use of blue curaçao, turning these famous cocktails into something truly iconic.

Whether you’re hosting a luau or surviving a rainy Tuesday, this Blue Hawaiian cocktail recipe is great for all occasions. And if you’re looking for more sunshine sips, how about a cool Cosmopolitan, a mouthwatering Mai Tai, or a tastebud-tantalising Tequila Sunrise.
