Blue Hawaii Cocktail

My husband, Brian LOVES blue drinks. We wanted to try making a blue drink at home. While doing our research for ideas we came across the Blue Hawaii and the Blue Hawaiian. You would assume they are the same thing but surprisingly there is a difference! The Blue Hawaii uses sweet and sour mix while the Blue Hawaiian uses Creme de Coconut for a creamier drink. If you prefer blended drinks instead of on the rocks I would suggest the Blue Hawaiian. After taste testing them both Brian and I decided the Blue Hawaii on the rocks was the winner! 

This would be a great recipe to turn into a batch cocktail. Just combine all of the ingredients into a pitcher and stir to combine. When ready to serve you can just pour the cocktail over ice and garnish as you wish.
