This Easy Blue Hawaiian Mocktail is a fun and fruity drink that’s perfect for a sunny day! With bright blue colors, it’s a feast for the eyes and made with delicious pineapple, coconut, and blue raspberry flavors.
Making it is a breeze! Just mix the ingredients, pour over ice, and enjoy. I love adding a little umbrella on top—it makes me feel extra tropical! 🥥🍍
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Pineapple Juice: This juice gives the mocktail a sweet and tropical flavor. If you don’t have pineapple, you can use orange or mango juice as a substitute for a different twist.
Coconut Water/Coconut Cream: Coconut water is light and hydrating, while coconut cream adds richness. If you’re watching calories, stick with coconut water. Almond milk can also work if you’re looking for a dairy-free option.
Blue Curaçao Syrup: This non-alcoholic syrup gives the mocktail its vibrant blue color and sweet flavor. If you can’t find it, you could use blue sports drink or blue raspberry syrup for a similar look and taste.
Lemon-Lime Soda/Sparkling Water: I love the fizz from lemon-lime soda, but sparkling water will make it lighter. Experiment with flavored sparkling waters for an added twist!
How Do I Make My Mocktail Extra Refreshing?
To make your Blue Hawaiian Mocktail super refreshing, make ice cubes with pineapple juice. This way, your drink won’t get watered down as the ice melts!
- Prepare by freezing pineapple juice in ice cube trays.
- Use fresh pineapple slices as garnish to enhance the tropical vibe.
- Consider adding fresh mint leaves for an extra pop of flavor and color!

FAQs About the Easy Blue Hawaiian Mocktail
Can I Use Fresh Pineapple Instead of Juice?
Absolutely! You can blend fresh pineapple to make your own juice. Just strain it to remove the pulp if you prefer a smoother drink. Fresh pineapple adds a bright, vibrant flavor!
What Can I Substitute for Blue Curaçao Syrup?
If you can’t find blue curaçao syrup, you can use blue raspberry syrup or even a blue sports drink for a similar color and sweetness. Just keep in mind that it might alter the flavor slightly!
Can I Make This Mocktail in Advance?
For the best flavor and freshness, it’s best to prepare it right before serving. However, you can pre-mix the pineapple juice, coconut water, and blue syrup in the fridge for a few hours. Just add ice and soda just before serving!
How Should I Store Leftovers?
If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours, but be aware that the soda will lose its fizz. For a refreshing treat later on, consider blending it into a slushy!
