The traditional Blue Hawaiian is a very strong, very blue drink. The ELSEWHEN Anomaly Coconut Cask Finish Applejack has such nice intensity of flavour, you can make a delicious lighter version by just adding a bit more juice.

*Blue Curacao is a blue coloured orange flavoured liqueur available in most liquor stores. In a pinch, you can use a quality orange liqueur. Add a drop or two of blue food colour for the full effect.
