Method
Cocktail
Prepare glass
Chill a highball or hurricane glass by filling it with ice and setting aside while you build the drink.
Measure and combine
Add the light rum (1.5 oz), vodka (0.5 oz), blue curaçao (0.75 oz), fresh pineapple juice (3 oz), fresh lemon juice (0.5 oz), and simple syrup (0.5 oz) into a cocktail shaker or blender. If you prefer a creamier Blue Hawaii, add coconut cream (0.5 oz) at this stage.
Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker with ice (about 4-6 large cubes) or add crushed ice to the blender. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds if using a shaker (or blend briefly for 3-5 seconds if using a blender) until well chilled and slightly frothy.
Strain and serve
Strain the shaken mixture over the crushed ice in the prepared glass. Use a fine strainer if you added coconut cream to catch any solids.
Garnish
Garnish with a pineapple wedge and a maraschino cherry on a cocktail pick. Optionally, add a small paper umbrella for presentation.
Serve
Serve immediately with a straw. Stir gently before sipping to integrate any ingredients that may have separated.
