Ingredients & Substitutions
Pineapple Juice: Fresh pineapple juice works best for maximum flavor, but you can use canned juice if that’s what you have at home. Always check for no added sugars to keep it healthier.
Blue Curaçao Syrup: This syrup gives that beautiful blue color without alcohol. If you can’t find it, consider using blue sports drink or even blue food coloring in a simple syrup, just adjust sweetness as necessary.
Coconut Cream/Milk: Coconut cream adds richness, while coconut milk is lighter. If you want a dairy-free option, both are excellent choices. You can also use almond milk for a different flavor.
Lemon-Lime Soda: Substituting sparkling water helps you control sweetness. For extra flavor, try ginger ale or even a splash of lemon juice. It’s all about what you prefer!
How Do You Achieve the Perfect Layers in Your Mocktail?
The Blue Hawaiian mocktail is visually stunning with its beautiful layers. To get that vibrant blue on top, pour the blue curaçao slowly over the back of a spoon after adding the coconut cream mixture. This technique helps prevent mixing the colors too much.
- Start with your ice in the glass to keep it cold.
- Pour pineapple juice followed by coconut cream, letting it settle.
- Slowly drizzle the blue curaçao to create that lovely blue layer.
- Finish with lemon-lime soda on top; pour gently to keep the layers intact.
Enjoy watching your drink transform! And remember, a gentle stir just before drinking can combine those flavors beautifully.

FAQ for Easy Blue Hawaiian Mocktail
Can I Use Fresh Pineapple Instead of Pineapple Juice?
Absolutely! If you have fresh pineapple, you can blend it to make your own juice. This will give your mocktail an even fresher flavor. Just make sure to strain it if you prefer a smoother texture!
How Can I Adjust the Sweetness of the Mocktail?
If you find the mocktail too sweet, you can reduce the amount of blue curaçao syrup or substitute it with a splash of fresh lemon or lime juice to balance the flavors. Conversely, if you want it sweeter, add a little more syrup or a splash of simple syrup.
Can I Make This Mocktail Ahead of Time?
While it’s best served fresh to maintain the fizz, you can prepare the juice and coconut mixture ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Just assemble with the ice and soda right before serving to keep it bubbly!
What If I Can’t Find Non-Alcoholic Blue Curaçao?
If you can’t find non-alcoholic blue curaçao syrup, you can use blue sports drink or mix blue food coloring with a bit of simple syrup for that vibrant color. Just adjust the sweetness to your liking!
