Preparation
Chill and layer your cocktail
Step 1: Chill your glass
Pop a hurricane glass, highball, or tiki glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes. This helps keep your drink icy cold and visually clean.
Step 2: Add strawberry purée
Spoon ½ oz strawberry purée into the bottom of the glass. If you want a layered effect, keep the purée at the bottom and don’t stir until the end.
Mix the base
Step 3: Combine Patron and lemonade
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine 2 oz Patron Tequila and 2 oz Calypso Lemonade. Shake for 10–15 seconds until well chilled.
Step 4: Add the blue Hawaiian blend
To the shaker, add 2½ oz of On The Rocks Blue Hawaiian or your homemade mix of 1 oz blue curaçao, 1 oz pineapple juice, and ½ oz coconut cream. Shake gently again for another 5 seconds.
Assemble the drink
Step 5: Pour over ice
Fill the chilled glass with fresh ice cubes. Gently pour the shaken cocktail over the strawberry purée and ice, allowing the colors to cascade naturally.
Step 6: Garnish with strawberry
Slice a fresh strawberry halfway through and slide it onto the rim of the glass. Optionally, add a colorful paper straw or umbrella for full tropical flair.
Variation
Try a twist on your Patron Strawberry Blue Hawaiian with these fun upgrades:
-
Frozen Strawberry Blue Hawaiian: Blend everything with crushed ice for a slushy cocktail.
-
Creamy Wave: Add ½ oz coconut cream or coconut milk for a smoother, piña colada vibe.
-
Spicy Island: Add a pinch of chili salt to the rim or muddle jalapeño for heat.
-

COOKING Note
-
Fresh strawberry purée adds both flavor and stunning color—blend fresh strawberries with a splash of lemon or simple syrup for extra brightness.
-
Calypso Lemonade is bold and tangy but can be swapped for homemade or any tart lemonade.
-
If you’re not using On The Rocks premade mix, combining curaçao, pineapple juice, and coconut cream replicates the classic Blue Hawaiian flavor.

Shake your drink well, but not too long after adding coconut cream—it can over-thicken.
-
For layered effect, pour slowly over a spoon or ice cube to separate colors.
