Vacation! Oahu, Hawaii

Recently my husband and I had the privilege of joining my aunt, uncle, cousin, parents and sister on an amazing trip to the gorgeous brand new Disney resort in Hawaii - Disney Aulani Resort and Spa! Highlights included soaking up lots of sun on the beach and by the pool, drinking Blue Hawaiian cocktails, floating on the lazy river, visiting Pearl Harbor, a traditional Hawaiian Luau, and of course some shopping; at the Hilton Hawaiian village and the Honolulu Flea Market!

So, if you want a taste of Hawaii for yourself, I have included the popular island "Blue Hawaiian" cocktail recipe!

Blue Hawaiian Recipes:

Add 4 ice cubes to a shaker or to a glass. 

Add the following ingredients to a shaker and shake, or to a glass and stir with a straw

-1oz blue curacao

-1oz white rum 

-1 can (6oz) of pineapple juice

You can vary it in a few ways. Instead of white rum, try coconut rum for an added tropical flavor. Or, add a splash of grenadine for added color!

Hope you all enjoy!
