The Blue Hawaiian Cocktail

Though I love cocktail recipes as they are simple

 and look exotic, and I am always fascinated to know

 what gives these drinks such vibrant and beautiful

 colors to lema one and am sure you will like this as well .

So here's what I found when I set to find what

goes into a "Blue Drink". Its an ingredient calle

d the "Blue Curacao", a sweet blue liqueur, distilled

 and flavored from the dried peel of bitter oranges.
It can also contain distillates of lemons and curacao
 fruit, sugar and wine. This is used to induce color to
 several drinks, and one of the favourites for most
 people is the Blue Hawaiian! And if you can't find
 it, just add some blue food color; the drink is totally
worth it even without the curacao!!




Ingredients

1/4 cup cream of coconut (thick sweetened coconut milk)

5 tbsp pineapple juice

2 tbsp Blue curacao (this gives the blue color to the drink)

1/6 cup light rum (optional)

orange or pineapple slices - to garnish



Method

Blend light rum, blue curacao, pineapple juice, and cream of coconut with one cup ice in an electric blender at high speed. Pour contents into a serving glass. Decorate with the slice of pineapple or orange and serve chilled. Cocktails are fun, and this one is a sure-shot winner with its taste and color!!
