Looking amazing in its gorgeous shade of blue, this frozen Blue Hawaiian cocktail is a refreshing rum-based drink that is absolutely perfect for summer sipping. It is made of a blend of rum, cream of coconut, coconut water or pineapple juice, lime, and curaçao, which adds a hint of sweet tropical orange.
This tiki cocktail is beautiful and it's easily adjustable to double or triple this recipe. You can blend a few up at a time, making it perfect for serving at summer parties or while relaxing with friends poolside. You will feel like you are on a tropical island surrounded by white sand with clear blue water lazily lapping on the shore.

Try the カリビアン・ラム・パンチ for another deliciously tropical cocktail that features orange and pineapple flavours. Or, a kiwi kirsch crush for an unexpectedly amazing blend of fresh kiwi and cherry.
材料
- Cream of coconut - Sometimes labeled 'creme de coconut,' it is a sweetened and syrupy coconut cream that is most commonly used to sweeten tropical drinks, such as the piña colada. This is 同じ量では使えません。 the same thing as coconut cream and they are not interchangeable.
- Coconut water - Or, pineapple juice (see substitutions note below).
- ホワイトラム - White rum is used so as not to add any brownish colour to the drink.
- Malibu coconut rum - For an extra burst of delicious coconut flavour.
- Blue curaçao - This is the ingredient that gives the cocktail its signature blue colour. It is a liqueur that smells of sweet orange and tastes of bitter and tangy orange, that is artificially coloured to add a tropical look to cocktails. It is made from extracts of dried orange peels. Traditionally the bitter-fleshed laraha (also known as Curaçao oranges) from Curaçao, a Dutch Caribbean island, were used in the production. However, now they are often combined with other types of oranges.
- 搾りたてのライム果汁 - Adds fresh citrus and cuts some of the sweetness in the drink for more balance.
- 氷 - For blending into a frozen cocktail.
- 飾り: Maraschino cherry and/or a pineapple wedges or tropical flowers.

代用
- Pineapple - You can make this cocktail with pineapple juice instead of coconut water. The pineapple flavour really is a delicious addition, however, the drink won't be the same pretty blue colour because blue (curaçao) combined with yellow (pineapple juice) makes green. Ensure that you are using 100% pineapple juice and not a juice blend.
- Triple Sec - You could substitute blue curaçao with a triple sec, such as Cointreau. But you will lose the beautiful blue colour.
- ウォッカ - If you don't like rum, you could substitute the rum with ウォッカ and the coconut rum with coconut vodka.
This drink can be blended, shaken with ice, or stirred and served on the rocks (crushed ice is a good option). If blending for a frozen cocktail, like I did, use more ice for a thicker, slushier drink and less ice for a thinner drink.

歴史
The history of this cocktail is often confused with that of its predecessor, the Blue Hawaii.
The Blue Hawaii was created by Harry K. Yee in 1957 at Henry Kaiser's Hawaiian Village Hotel, Waikiki, Oahu, Hawaii, which would later become the Hilton. It was commissioned by Bols, a Dutch distiller, in an endeavour to increase sales of their blue curaçao product. The drink was named after the hit song from 'Waikiki Wedding,' Bing Cosby's 1937 film.
The Blue Hawaiian, which is a riff off of the Blue Hawaii, is thought to have most likely been created by Don Beach ('Don the beachcomber') in Los Angeles, USA. Previously a drifter from Louisiana, he eventually washed up in Hollywood where he became involved in the movie industry and transformed the drinking scene. His fondness for rum and passion for Polynesian culture led him to create the Tiki bar and Tiki cocktails as we know them. He eventually settled in Hawaii after WWII.
