Blue Hawaiian Tiki Cocktail Recipe

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.
