This Easy Blue Hawaiian Mocktail is a fun, tropical drink without any alcohol! It combines sweet pineapple, coconut, and a splash of blue coloring that makes it look cool and refreshing.
It’s perfect for sunny days or parties, and kids love it! Just mix, pour, and enjoy without needing a fancy bartender’s degree. I like to add a slice of pineapple on top for extra flair!
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Pineapple Juice: This is the heart of the drink, providing a sweet and tropical flavor. If you can’t find fresh pineapple juice, opt for a store-bought one without added sugars for the best taste.
Coconut Water vs. Coconut Cream: Coconut water keeps the drink light and refreshing. If you want a richer texture, coconut cream is perfect. Substitute with almond milk for a nutty flavor if you’re dairy-free.
Blue Curaçao Syrup: This gives the drink its vibrant color. Use blue raspberry syrup as an alternative. If you prefer natural coloring, a few drops of food-safe blue dye can work too.
Sparkling Water vs. Lemon-Lime Soda: Sparkling water keeps things light, while lemon-lime soda adds extra sweetness. Choose based on your preference for fizz and sweetness; both are great!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I Use Regular Coconut Milk Instead of Coconut Water or Cream?
Yes, you can certainly use regular coconut milk if you prefer a richer flavor! Just keep in mind that it will make the drink creamier, so adjust the amount to your liking.
Can I Make This Mocktail in Larger Batches?
Absolutely! You can multiply the ingredients to make a pitcher. Just mix everything in a large container and add ice just before serving to keep it chilled without diluting the flavor.
How Do I Store Leftover Mocktail?
If you have any leftovers, store the mixed drink in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. However, for optimal taste and texture, it’s best enjoyed fresh since the fizz can go flat over time.
What Can I Use Instead of Blue Curaçao Syrup?
If you can’t find blue curaçao syrup, blue raspberry syrup is a great alternative. You could also use food-safe blue food coloring to achieve the color without changing the flavor, just a few drops will do the trick!
