Blue Hawaiian

Revision as of 17:12, 4 April 2010

The Blue Hawaiian is a cocktail that contains Rum, Blue Curacao, Pineapple Juice and Cream of Coconut. However, some recipes substitute cream of coconut with coconut-flavored rum or leave it out altogether. This cocktail shouldn't be confused with the similarly named Blue Hawaii.
