This looks delicious!
It is! I figure this is an ode to Donald, since Blue Hawaii is my favorite Elvis movie. I’m listening to Rock-A-Hula Baby right now!
Recipe:
1 1/2 ounces coconut rum (Captain Morgan’s for me)
1 1/2 ounces vodka (Kettle One for me)
1 1/2 ounces blue curacao
1 1/2 ounces sweet and sour mix
Pour over ice, and top the rest of a 24 ounce hurricane glass with pineapple juice (if you’re doing dixie cups, they’re 16 ounces, cut everything down to 1 ounce and top with pineapple juice). Mix with a bar spoon, and if you want to get fancy, garnish with umbrellas, pineapple, maraschino cherries… whatever’s fun, kitschy, and available!
Thanks for the recipe, Mary & Dad! 🙂
love the color 🙂 what’s sweet & sour mix? what can one substitute?
It’s that stuff that most people use for margaritas — you can find it at the grocery or liquor store with the mixers. Or, you can make your own, as it’s just simple syrup with citrus juice: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/drink/views/Homemade-Sweet-and-Sour-Mix-for-Margaritas-200594
ah perfect!
