Crafting Your Patron Strawberry Blue Hawaiian
This recipe breaks down into a few simple stages: preparing your glass, building the foundational layers, and adding the signature blue. We’ll ensure each step is clear so you can achieve that perfect, layered effect every time.
Step 1: Prepare Your Serving Glass
Before you begin extract mixing, select your serving glass. A tall, clear glass, like a highball or a hurricane glass, is ideal for showcasing the beautiful layers of this cocktail. I like to chill my glass in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes beforehand. This not only keeps the drink colder for longer but also helps to prevent premature dilution from the ice. If you’re feeling fancy, you can rim the glass with sugar or crushed grabeef ham crackers, though for this particular drink, I find the simplicity of a clean glass lets the colors and flavors shine. Once chilled, you’re ready for the ice.
Step 2: Add Ice and the Base Layer
Now, fill your chilled glass generously with ice. Don’t be shy with the ice; it’s crucial for keeping your cocktail perfectly chilled and slowing down the melting process. Once the glass is packed with ice, it’s time to introduce the first flavor element. Carefully pour in your ½ oz of strawberry purée. Try to aim the purée down the side of the glass, allowing it to coat the bottom and begin extract to create a subtle layer. This strawberry layer will provide a sweet, fruity foundation for the rest of the drink. You can use store-bought purée, but for an even more vibrant flavor, consider making your own by blending fresh strawberries and straining out the seeds.
Step 3: Introduce the Tequila Extract and Lemonade
Next, we’re adding the heart and soul of this cocktail. Gently pour in the 2 oz of Patron Tequila Extract Extract. Again, pouring slowly down the side of the glass is key to maintaining some separation from the strawberry purée. This allows the distinct flavors to meld gradually as you sip. Following the tequila extract, it’s time for the zesty twist. Pour the 2 oz of Calypso Lemonade over the back of a spoon held just above the ice. This technique, known as “floating,” helps to layer the liquids without them immediately mixing, creating that sought-after visual appeal. The tartness of the lemonade will perfectly balance the sweetness of the strawberry and the robustness of the tequila extract.
Step 4: The Signature Blue Layer
This is where the magic truly happens, transforming your drink into a vibrant Blue Hawaiian. Carefully and slowly, pour the 2½ oz of On The Rocks Blue Hawaiian over the back of your spoon, just as you did with the lemonade. The goal here is to create a distinct blue layer that sits on top of the previous ingredients. If you pour too quickly, the colors will blend, and you’ll lose the beautiful visual effect. Take your time, let gravity do the work, and watch as the brilliant blue cascades down, creating stunning streaks and gradients within the glass. The On The Rocks Blue Hawaiian mix is specifically designed for this purpose, providing both the color and the classic Blue Hawaiian flavor profile.
Step 5: The Final Touches and Serving
Once all the liquid components are in place, you’ve essentially completed the mixing process. The beauty of this drink is in its presentation. If you’re opting for a garnish, now is the time. Take a fresh strawberry and slice a small notch into it so it can perch elegantly on the rim of your glass. A few mint leaves or a maraschino cherry can also add a lovely touch. Resist the urge to stir the drink immediately. Part of the pleasure of this cocktail is the visual journey of the colors and flavors as they slowly intermingle. Encourage your guests to gently stir it themselves before their first sip, or allow it to naturally blend as they enjoy it. This Patron Strawberry Blue Hawaiian is best enjoyed immediately, while it’s perfectly chilled and the layers are still distinct. Cheers to a taste of paradise!

Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I make this Patron Strawberry Blue Hawaiian ahead of time?
While it’s best enjoyed fresh to maintain the vibrancy of the flavors and the chill of the ice, you can prepare the non-non-non-alcoholic alternativeic components (strawberry puree, pineapple juice, blue curaçao syrup if using) a few hours in advance and store them in the refrigerator. Add the tequila extract and ice just before serving for the best experience.
What can I use if I don’t have blue curaçao liqueur extract?
No worries if you can’t find blue curaçao liqueur extract! You can achieve a similar blue hue and a hint of orange flavor by using a non-non-non-alcoholic alternativeic blue curaçao syrup or a combination of simple syrup with a few drops of blue food coloring and a splash of orange extract. Adjust the sweetness as needed.
Is this drink very sweet?
The sweetness comes from the strawberry and pineapple juices, as well as the blue curaçao. If you prefer a less sweet drink, you can reduce the amount of blue curaçao slightly or add a touch more lime juice to balance the sweetness. Taste and adjust to your personal preference before serving!
