Whether you’re making this for a summer BBQ, a beach-themed party, or just a fun weekend treat, it’s always a hit.

Let’s get started!
What You’ll Need
Ingredients:
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- ½ cup coconut rum (like Malibu)
- ½ cup blue curaçao
- ¼ cup white rum
- ¼ cup lemon-lime soda (like Sprite)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- Pineapple wedges & maraschino cherries (for garnish)
Pro Tips
✅ Chill your ingredients – The colder the juice and soda, the less ice you’ll need (so your drink doesn’t get watered down too fast!).
✅ Use crushed ice – It keeps your drink extra cold and gives it that fun, slushy feel.
✅ Make it a mocktail – Skip the alcohol and add more pineapple juice and soda for a kid-friendly version!
✅ Serve in a fun glass – A hurricane glass or tiki mug makes it feel extra tropical.
Tools You’ll Need
- Large mixing glass or pitcher
- Stirring spoon
- Measuring cups
- Cocktail glasses
Substitutions & Variations
🔹 Swap the white rum for dark rum for a richer flavor.
🔹 Use coconut water instead of coconut rum for a lighter, less boozy option.
🔹 Add a splash of lime juice for a little tanginess.
🔹 Blend it with ice for a frozen Blue Hawaiian slushie!
How to Make Blue Hawaiian Rum Punch
1. Add Pineapple Juice
Pour 1 cup of pineapple juice into a large mixing glass or pitcher. This gives the drink its sweet, tropical base.

Pour ½ cup of coconut rum and ¼ cup of white rum into the glass. The coconut rum adds sweetness, while the white rum gives it an extra kick.
3. Add the Blue Curaçao
Slowly pour ½ cup of blue curaçao into the mix. This gives the drink its stunning ocean-blue color!
4. Add Lemon-Lime Soda
Pour ¼ cup of lemon-lime soda into the glass. This adds a little fizz and brightness to the drink!
5. Stir & Add Ice
Use a spoon to gently stir everything together. Then, add 1 cup of ice cubes to chill the drink.
6. Pour & Garnish
Pour the punch into a glass filled with ice. Garnish with a pineapple wedge and a maraschino cherry on the rim. Add a fun cocktail umbrella if you want!
Leftovers & Storage
- This punch is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in the fridge for up to a day.
- If making in advance, don’t add ice until serving to avoid dilution.
