★ Tips & FAQs ★
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.
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.
