Coconut Blue Hawaiian

Because one recipe with pineapple and rum in a week isn’t enough, I had to include this one, too.

Since I’m a fan of sweet drinks, I usually gravitate towards the tropical ones. Pineapple juice, cherries, and rum never fail to make a winner. There are a lot of ways to make a Blue Hawaiian but this is the one I’d swear by.

A lot of Blue Hawaiian recipes will have you use rum and vodka. But why use vodka when you could use more rum? And why use more rum when you could use coconut rum? It just all makes sense.

I’d recommend using a clear rum to keep the flavor and appearance of this neutral. You could also substitute sweet and sour mix or even lemon juice in for the lime; just use what ever you have on hand.
