This Blue Hawaiian Mocktail is a fun and tropical drink that tastes like a vacation! Made with blue sports drink, pineapple juice, and coconut cream, it’s sweet and fruity.
Serve this on a sunny day or at a party, and watch everyone enjoy its bright blue color. I love adding colorful straws and little umbrellas! 🍹
Ingredients & Substitutions
Pineapple juice: Fresh pineapple juice is the best if you have it, but store-bought works great too. You can also use orange juice for a different flavor or a mix of both.
Blue curaçao syrup: Opt for non-alcoholic blue curaçao syrup to keep it a mocktail. If unavailable, blue sports drink is a fun alternative that adds color and sweetness. You could even try a berry-flavored drink for a twist!
Coconut cream: For a lighter version, substitute coconut milk. If you’re not a fan of coconut, using whipped cream can add a different creamy texture without the coconut flavor.
Lemon-lime soda: Sparkling water works well if you prefer less sweetness. You could also use tonic water for something a bit different, adding a nice fizz.
How Do I Get the Perfect Layered Look?
Creating a layered drink adds a beautiful touch! Here’s how to get those eye-catching layers:
- Start by pouring the heaviest ingredient first, which is typically the coconut cream.
- Next, slowly pour the pineapple juice over the back of a spoon to help it float on top.
- Finally, gently add the blue curaçao syrup or sports drink for the striking blue layer.
- When adding the soda, pour it slowly over the ice to maintain the separation.
Stir just a little before serving to blend the flavors, but you’ll keep that gorgeous look for that WOW factor! Enjoy!

Can I Use Fresh Pineapple Instead of Juice?
Absolutely! If you prefer fresh pineapple, just blend it until smooth and strain to extract the juice. This will give you an even fresher taste in your mocktail!
How Can I Make This Mocktail Less Sweet?
If you’d like a less sweet version, you can reduce the amount of blue curaçao syrup or blue sports drink. Using sparkling water instead of lemon-lime soda will also help cut the sweetness while still keeping it fizzy!
Can I Make a Batch in Advance?
You can mix the pineapple juice and coconut cream together ahead of time and refrigerate it for a day. Just add the ice and soda right before serving to keep it fresh and fizzy!
What’s the Best Way to Store Leftover Mocktail?
It’s best to drink the mocktail fresh since the ice will dilute the drink over time. If you have leftovers (without ice), you can refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to 1 day, but the taste and fizz may not be as vibrant.
