This Easy Blue Hawaiian Mocktail is a fun and colorful drink that everyone can enjoy! It mixes pineapple juice, coconut cream, and blue soda for a tropical twist.
Perfect for summer gatherings, it looks great in a glass and tastes like a beach getaway! I love adding little paper umbrellas to make it even more festive. 🎉
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Pineapple Juice: Freshly squeezed pineapple juice provides the best flavor, but store-bought works well too. If you’re looking for a lower sugar option, try using unsweetened pineapple juice.
Blue Curaçao Syrup: This gives the drink its beautiful blue color without the alcohol. If you can’t find it, you can use blue sports drink or blue raspberry syrup for a similar look.
Coconut Cream: For a richer coconut flavor, you might swap coconut cream with coconut milk. Use a coconut cream that is thick and creamy for the best results.
Lemon-Lime Soda: If you prefer a healthier option, sparkling water or club soda adds fizz without the extra sugar. You can also use any clear soda for sweetness.
How Do I Layer the Colors for a Dazzling Effect?
To create an eye-catching layered effect, pour the blue curaçao syrup slowly over the back of a spoon onto the drink after adding the pineapple juice and coconut cream. This gentle technique helps the syrup sit on top, giving your mocktail beautiful blue layers. Just remember to take your time to avoid mixing them too soon!
Enjoy this delightful Blue Hawaiian Mocktail at your next party or relaxing evening. It’s simple, refreshing, and full of tropical vibes! 🌴🍍

Can I Use Fresh Pineapple Juice Instead of Store-Bought?
Absolutely! Fresh pineapple juice will enhance the flavor of your mocktail and offer a more vibrant taste. Just make sure to strain it to remove any pulp if you prefer a smoother drink.
What Can I Substitute for Blue Curaçao Syrup?
If you can’t find blue curaçao syrup, you can use blue sports drinks or blue raspberry syrup as an alternative. Both options will provide the bright blue color and a sweet flavor!
How Long Can I Store Leftover Mocktails?
It’s best to enjoy this mocktail fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Keep in mind that the soda may lose its fizz, so it’s best to consume it as soon as possible!
Can I Make This Mocktail in Batches for a Party?
Yes! You can easily multiply the ingredients to make a larger batch. Just mix the pineapple juice, coconut cream, and blue syrup together in a pitcher, and add soda just before serving to keep it fizzy!
