Blue Hawaii
Ingredients
- ¾ ounce vodka
- ¾ ounce light rum
- ½ ounce blue curaçao liqueur
- 3 ounces pineapple juice
- ½ ounce simple syrup
- ½ ounce fresh lime juice (1 lime)
- 2 pineapple cubes or pineapple wedge optional
Simple Syrup:
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ cup water
Instructions
- For the simple syrup, in a small saucepan, combine sugar and water. Cook over medium heat until sugar is melted and water just started to boil, stirring every once a while. Remove from heat and cool completely. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge.
- In a shaker, fill half full with ice cubes. Add vodka, light rum, blue curaçao, pineapple juice, simple syrup and lime juice. Shake until chilled.
- In a serving glass, add 5 - 6 ice cubes. Strain the drink into the glass. Garnish with pineapple and serve.
Notes
- Simple syrup can be stored in the fridge for up to a month. I always have a container in my fridge. Other than cocktails, it’s great to use in coffee or tea as well.
- A combination of simple syrup and citrus juice is called a sour mix. It’s a 1:1 ratio. It's often use in cocktails.
