During the past 2 years, we’ve had to postpone a few trips to Hawaii, and that bummed us out. Of course, we missed the beaches, shave ice, and just relaxing at Disney’s Aulani Resort.
However, we still were able to recreate our Hawaiian vacation at home through yummy treats like Dole Whip, fun crafts with the kids, and listening to a lot of Hawaiian music.
And for me, it’s not really a Hawaii vacation unless I’m sipping a Mai Tai in Waikiki. It’s something I do every trip, and it’s my way of commemorating the start of a vacation.
So, I spent the past couple of years trying my hand at recreating some of the most iconic Hawaiian drinks at home.
I’ve tried to make this a pretty extensive list of tropical drink recipes, so get inspired! I mean, out of all the Hawaiian drinks, alcoholic ones are the best! There are even some pretty amazing Hawaiian cocktail names.
And if you really want to be a little “extra,” grab some Hawaiian cocktail essentials like tiki glasses, drink umbrellas, and maraschino cherries!
Ok, let’s learn a little more about Hawaiian-themed drinks!

If you are planning on making any of these Hawaiian cocktails on your next trip to Hawaii, I strongly urge you to try some authentic Hawaii rum. My personal favorite Hawaiian liquor is Koloa Rum. It’s made on Kauai and has won tons of awards. If you’re heading to Kauai, they offer rum tastings that are definitely worth checking out. Another option is Ko Hana Hawaiian Agricole Rum. You can find it all across Hawaii and on the west coast of the Mainland.
After mai tais, the most famous drinks in Hawaii are Blue Hawaiians. The Blue Hawaiian drink recipe consists of blue curacao, rum, vodka, cream of coconut, and pineapple juice.
Each luau in Hawaii offers an array of tropical drinks. Typically, luau cocktails will have some sort of mai tai or Hawaiian rum punch for adults. There’s also a non-alcoholic option like POG juice. Read my full guides to luaus on Oahu, Maui, the Big Island, and Kauai to get a better idea of the Hawaii alcoholic drinks served.
The legal drinking age in the United States is 21 years old.
Yes. While it may seem like a romantic idea to make your own tropical drinks to enjoy on your favorite beach, it’s totally illegal. However, you can definitely head to a beach-side restaurant or bar. Sometimes they have the best Hawaiian drinks and a view you have to see to believe!
Although there is no official national cocktail of Hawaii, if they did, it would probably be the Hawaiian Mai Tai or a frozen Blue Hawaiian drink.
