This Easy Blue Hawaiian Mocktail is a fun and colorful drink! It mixes sweet pineapple juice, refreshing coconut, and a splash of blue curacao syrup for a beautiful tropical twist.
It’s perfect for parties, especially if you want something fancy without the alcohol. I love to make it for my friends and watch their eyes light up at that vibrant blue color! 🌊
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Pineapple Juice: Fresh pineapple juice is ideal for this drink as it’s sweet and flavorful. If you don’t have fresh juice, store-bought is fine. For a twist, try mixing in some orange juice.
Coconut Water or Coconut Milk: Coconut water gives a light and refreshing feel, while coconut milk adds creaminess. If you’re looking for a non-coconut option, try almond milk or oat milk for a unique taste.
Blue Curacao Syrup: This adds beautiful color and sweetness. Look for a non-alcoholic version, or substitute with blue sports drink or blue raspberry syrup if necessary. Just adjust the sweetness to your liking!
Sparkling Water or Soda: For a fizzy finish, use sparkling water for a lighter drink or lemon-lime soda for extra sweetness. You can substitute any citrus soda you enjoy!
How Do I Make Sure My Mocktail Looks Beautiful?
Presentation is key for mocktails! Here are some tips to ensure your Blue Hawaiian looks as good as it tastes:
- Fill your glass with ice to the top for a refreshing chill.
- Pour liquids slowly to create layers, especially with the blue curaçao syrup.
- Garnish is important: a fresh pineapple wedge not just provides color but adds that tropical feel.
- If using pineapple chunks, skewer them for a fun touch!
Enjoy your drink-making, and have fun with different garnishes or colors!

Can I Use Fresh Pineapple Instead of Juice?
Absolutely! You can blend fresh pineapple and strain it to make your own juice. This will give your mocktail an even fresher taste. Just be sure to sweeten it a bit if the pineapple isn’t very ripe!
What Can I Substitute for Blue Curacao Syrup?
If you don’t have blue curaçao syrup, you can use blue raspberry syrup or even a blue sports drink. Just be mindful of the sweetness and adjust the quantity to your taste!
Can I Make This Mocktail in Advance?
Yes, you can prep the pineapple juice and coconut water mixture ahead of time. Just wait to add ice and the sparkling water until you’re ready to serve to keep it fizzy!
How Do I Store Leftover Mocktail?
If you happen to have leftovers, store the mixed pineapple juice and coconut water in the fridge (without the ice and soda). It’s best enjoyed fresh, so try to consume it within 24 hours for the best flavor!
