This Easy Blue Hawaiian Mocktail is a fun and fruity drink that’s perfect for sunny days! Made with delicious pineapple juice, coconut cream, and blue curaçao syrup, it’s vibrant and refreshing.
Every sip feels like a mini vacation in a glass. I love serving it with a slice of fresh pineapple on the rim—who can resist a cute drink? 🍍
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Pineapple Juice: This juice adds a tropical sweetness to the drink. Freshly squeezed juice tastes best, but store-bought works fine too. You could also use orange juice for a different flavor profile.
Coconut Cream: Creamy and rich, coconut cream gives the mocktail its smooth texture. You can substitute coconut milk if you’re looking for a lighter alternative. Just shake the can well before using!
Blue Curaçao Syrup: This gives the drink its vibrant blue color and sweet flavor. Make sure to use a non-alcoholic version. If you can’t find it, you can use blue sports drink or a mix of blue food coloring and simple syrup.
Sparkling Water or Club Soda: This adds fizz to the mocktail, making it more refreshing. You might consider tonic water for a slightly different taste, but be careful as it can be more bitter.
How Can I Get the Perfect Mix for My Mocktail?
Getting the balance of flavors right is crucial. Start by mixing your pineapple juice and coconut cream first—this combo should taste delicious on its own. Then, slowly pour in the blue curaçao syrup to keep that striking color. Do this step carefully to maintain layers if you want a beautiful presentation.
- Fill your glass with ice to keep the mocktail chilled and refreshing.
- After mixing the tropical juices, top it off only when you are ready to serve—this maintains fizziness.
- Always taste before serving! Adjust sweetness if needed by adding a touch more blue syrup or even some honey.

FAQ about the Easy Blue Hawaiian Mocktail
Can I Use Fresh Pineapple Instead of Pineapple Juice?
Absolutely! If you have fresh pineapple, blending it into juice is a great option. Just strain it through a fine mesh sieve to remove pulp and use it in the same amount as the juice for a fresher taste!
What Can I Substitute for Coconut Cream?
If you’re looking for a lighter alternative, you can use coconut milk instead. You might also try almond milk or oat cream for a non-coconut option, but the flavor will change slightly.
How Can I Sweeten My Mocktail Without Blue Curaçao Syrup?
You can use blue raspberry syrup or even simple syrup mixed with a few drops of blue food coloring. Just adjust the quantity to achieve your desired sweetness and color!
Can I Make This Mocktail in Advance?
While the mixing part can be done in advance, it’s best to add the sparkling water just before serving to keep the fizz. You can prepare the juice mixture in the fridge for up to 2 hours, then top it off with sparkling water when you’re ready to serve!
