    This drink does not require any fancy methods. Just pour the Blue curaçao and pineapple juice into your glass then add cubed or crushed ice.

    Make this Island Time cocktail into a frozen concoction.

    For a slushie style drink, trying shaving your ice. We use this ice shaver you can find on Amazon. It works great and is really simple to use. It works much better than a blend and isn't complicated like some other slushie makers.

    If you don't want to deal with special equipment though, you can just add the ingredients into a blender with some ice and pulse until smooth.

    For a thicker, daiquiri-style drink, you can substitute half of the pineapple juice with frozen pineapples and blend.

    ★ Tips & FAQs ★

    Can this be made into a mocktail?

    Yes, you can make this drink virgin. Don't leave out friends who doesn't drink!

    You can easily make this using pineapple juice and blue Hawaiian punch instead of blue curaçao.
