Blue Hawaiian Party Punch

Blue Hawaiian Drink with Vodka

The other day I was walking through the grocery store, as I often do, perusing the aisles. I like to just take my time and look at all the things sometimes instead of rushing through, in case new recipes jump out at me.

(This is how sometimes my conveyor belt at checkout looks like a 5-year old went shopping: Reese’s, Fruity Pebbles, Kool-Aid and a box of gummy bears.)

I was in the juice aisle, thinking about making new party punch cocktails for summer, when I saw Blue Hawaiian Punch. I immediately thought two things:

1. Wow, that would be amazing with vodka. (Isn’t everything?)
2. With red cherries, that is PERFECT for the 4th of July!

(No seriously it makes a TON, don’t drink this alone.)

4 Ingredient Blue Hawaiian Punch

I bought a huge container of Blue Hawaiian Punch (also called Polar Blast, I assume because it’s blue?) and went about my way thinking how I’d mix vodka with it.

(Daily thoughts of Dorothy: vodka goes with all the things.)

• Blue Hawaiian Punch (and you can substitute blue Kool-Aid if you want)
• Pineapple juice
• Rum
• Vodka

Pineapple juice goes so well in so many different cocktails. It just adds a bit of flavor that deepens the flavor of the juice. Don’t leave it out!

How to make this Blue Hawaiian Drink

1. Mix all ingredients in a pitcher over ice.
2. Serve cold with cherries for garnish.

Not only is it refreshing and delicious, but it’s super pretty too! It’s the perfect punch recipe for a baby shower too – it’s baby boy blue!
