Blue Hawaiian
Blue Hawaiian
An easy and refreshing drink. Many of the Blue Hawaiian recipes call for white rum, I am using Malibu rum which is coconut flavored. I also use unsweetened coconut cream and many recipes call for cream of coconut which is sweetened. The flavor is excellent, and the family loves these! Keep in mind, the quality of the Blue Curacao you use will determine on the quality of blue color (it may come out greenish blue), the taste will be the same. You can also add a drop or two of blue food coloring into the shaker before shaking.
