For garnish score pineapple or orange slice with a knife and insert onto rim of glass.
Optionally use toothpick or cocktail umbrella to spear maraschino cherry through center and attach to top of fruit slice otherwise float cherry on top of ice. - Notes
For best results do not use bottled sweet and sour mix, but rather make your own at the bar with fresh citrus juice and simple syrup.
This advice applies to any drink that calls for sweet and sour.
The blue hawaii is a tropical cocktail made of rum, pineapple juice, blue curaçao, sweet and sour mix, and sometimes vodka.
It should not be confused with the similarly named blue hawaiian cocktail that contains creme of coconut instead of sweet and sour mix.
