A quintessential part of visiting Hawaii is trying the local cuisine. You also won’t want to miss out on iconic tropical drinks. Whether you’re relaxing on the beach or dining at a seafood restaurant, these must-try cocktails and drinks bring together some of the islands’ best flavors for an unforgettable experience you won’t find anywhere else.

3 Classic Hawaiian Drinks

1. Mai Tai

One of Hawaii’s signature tropical drinks is the mai tai. Sweet orange curacao is mixed with orange juice, lime juice, simple syrup, and orgeat—a syrup made from almonds, sugar, and rose water or orange flower water. It’s then blended with rum and served over ice for a smooth, refreshing drink.

2. Blue Hawaii

This fun beverage is a favorite for its tropical blue appearance. It’s a combination of white rum, vodka, sweet and sour mix, pineapple juice, and blue curacao. The tropical drink is then poured over ice and garnished with a pineapple slice, maraschino cherry, and other fruits for more pops of color—and extra snacks!

3. Chi Chi

If you’re looking for something the kids can enjoy, order a chi chi at your next lunch or dinner. Pineapple juice, coconut cream, and fine sugar are all blended with ice to create a sweet slushy ideal for a warm afternoon. To create an adult version, combine it with your favorite vodka. Enjoy it in a taller glass so it has room to even out.
