Diving into the tiki drink known as the Blue Hawaiian or Swimming Pool cocktail.
There’s not enough blue drinks in the world, so that’s why we’re big fans of enjoying a Blue Hawaiian cocktail by the pool or at the tiki bar on a warm, summer day. This riff on the classic Piña Colada gets its signature color from the addition of Blue Curaçao to the light rum. It looks like a gorgeous body of tropical water as it sits in your ice-filled hurricane glass, which is why some people refer to it as the Swimming Pool cocktail.
Don’t confuse this drink with a Blue Hawaii cocktail, which is another blue-colored cocktail created by Harry Yee that uses vodka and sour mix instead of Creme De Coconut.
