My Blue Hawaiian Long Island is a concoction of all the liquor plus blue curacao and some 7up. Not for the faint-hearted, so make sure you enjoy this colorful drink in moderation!

Blue Hawaiian Long Island

You guys know by now that my love for blue drinks and fun cocktails is pretty intense. I have this awesome Baby Blue Punch (great for a blue baby shower!) and I know you all love my frozen raspberry pina colada.

Are Blue Hawaiian Cocktails strong?

Long Islands get a pretty bad rap, sometimes. Mostly from people who try and tackle these as an all-night cocktail, and drink too many and then feel like death the next day.

Long Islands pack a pretty significant punch in the alcohol department, so use caution or cut these a bit more with some extra sprite if you lean towards “lightweight”. That’s generally my plan of attack.

I don’t know what kind of magic happens in a traditional Long Island to make a glass that’s 3/4 of the way filled with liquor taste like there is very little actual booze inside it, but I like it – either way.

What kind of alcohol is in a Long Island?

I think the better question is what kind of alcohol is NOT, as Long Islands have a bit of everything. 

• vodka
• gin
• rum
• white tequila
• triple sec

How about some Homemade Sweet Tea Vodka?

How is a Blue Hawaiian different than a traditional Long Island?

The difference is in the addition of blue Curacao, and we sub in a lemon-lime soda instead of the cola that gives the Long Island Iced Tea it’s tea-like color.
