What Is a Blue Hawaiian Mocktail?
A Blue Hawaiian Mocktail is a non-alcoholic tropical drink made with pineapple juice, coconut cream, lime juice, and blue curaçao syrup (non-alcoholic). It captures the signature flavor profile of the original cocktail while remaining refreshing, smooth, and completely alcohol-free.
Unlike sugary blue sodas, this recipe balances fruit acidity, coconut richness, and citrus brightness for a more refined, restaurant-quality mocktail.
Flavor Profile: What to Expect
This drink is carefully balanced for broad appeal:
- Sweet & fruity from pineapple juice
- Creamy & smooth from coconut cream
- Bright & refreshing from fresh lime juice
- Light citrus finish from blue curaçao syrup
The result is a mocktail that feels indulgent without being overpowering.
