IS THIS THE SAME AS A BLUE HAWAII?

They are essentially the same, with a few subtle differences. A Blue Hawaii uses a sweet and sour mix, and a Blue Hawaiian uses cream of coconut (creme de coconut).

Either way, the fruit and coconut flavors are divine!

ANY ADDITIONS?

You better believe it! I love having options, and this list is a great place to get you started.

A splash of lime juice for a tangy twist
Mint leaves for a fresh aroma
A dash of simple syrup for extra sweetness
A slice of orange for a citrus garnish
A cocktail umbrella for that extra tropical feel
Raspberries or blueberries for added color and flavor
A sprinkle of edible glitter for a sparkling effect
A splash of triple sec for a deeper citrus note
Coconut flakes sprinkled on top for texture
