I love the part where you swirl in cream of coconut. It takes the whole mocktail from average to island getaway. My kids usually toss on the fruit garnish—it's their favorite job.
Chill Storing Advice
It's definitely best when served right away, since you want those bubbles and popping color fresh. Preparing early? Mix up the coconut and fruit juices ahead, stash them cold in the fridge, then pop in the soda and fruit just before everyone digs in for max fun.
Swap It Up
No lemon juice? Lime or any citrus you've got works fine and brings its own flair. Blue curacao syrup hard to find? Try a dash of orange syrup and mix in blue food coloring instead. Out of cream of coconut? Well-shaken coconut milk can save the day if needed.

Fun Ways to Serve
Pour it into tall ice filled glasses so it stays cool and stunning. Add bright straws, tiny umbrellas, whatever fits your mood. If you're having a grownup crowd, leave out some rum nearby so anyone can spike their own glass if they want.
Island Story
Tiki bars and resorts made the Blue Hawaiian famous, blending coconut, pineapple, and citrus for a dreamy escape drink. This version lets everyone get in on that happy flavor and those beachy vibes—no alcohol needed.
Common Questions
- → Why's this drink blue?
It's got that signature color thanks to alcohol-free blue curaçao syrup, which also makes it taste a little citrusy.
- → Is fresh pineapple juice okay?
Of course! Squeezing your own pineapple juice gives the drink a fresher, brighter flavor.
- → What if I don't have cream of coconut?
No problem. Use coconut milk or coconut cream if you want something lighter, then sweeten it to your liking.
- → How can I get more fizz?
Pour in a little extra lemon-lime soda—or try Olipop or Zevia—to really dial up the bubbles and make it crisp.
- → What should I use for garnish?
Make it pop with a cherry, a pineapple chunk, or even toss on an orange slice for more color and flavor.
- → Can I make a big batch for parties?
Definitely! Just multiply the amounts, shake or stir it all in a big jug, and serve it over ice so everyone gets a glass.
