Blue Hawaiian

ByRex

It is spring and I am stuck in a tropical drink grind.  Every new cocktail that I think up is tropical in style.  I guess I am hoping that one of these drinks takes me back to an island.  Either way, today’s drink is awesome.  It is heavy on pineapple and coconut like a pina colada, but with a nice blue flair.

Blue Hawaiian

  • 1 oz. Light Rum
  • 2 oz. Pineapple Juice
  • 1 oz. Blue Curacao
  • 1 oz. Coconut flavored Rum or Creme de Coconut
  • 1/2 oz. Simple Syrup

On the Rocks

This cocktail can be made on the rocks or blended.  I prefer it on the rocks.  Mix all of the ingredients in a nice glass filled with ice.

Garnish with a mini-parasol, pineapple and a cherry.

Mix all of the ingredients in a blender with 1 cup of ice.  Blend until smooth and then pour into a nice tall glass.

A great drink with the flavor of the islands.  You can’t go wrong with this one.

    Bacon Pancakes

    ByRex

    I love pancakes and bacon, so much that I added the bacon right into the pancakes.   The result, pure awesomeness.  No joke, it is amazing.  Fruits and chocolate are nice in pancakes, but the real deal is bacon.  The smokey salty flavor goes great with the warm sweet flavor of the pancakes and maple syrup.

  2. This reminds me of a "hunch punch" style drink that we did with grain alcohol, blue curacao, lemonade and oranges called Blue Whales. Boy those were the days!

    I remember when I bought my Party Bullet so I could make drinks like this whenever I wanted. Unfortunately, the novelty wore off. This recipe, however, makes me want to bring it out again.
