Ingredients:
Crafting Your Patron Strawberry Blue Hawaiian
Now that you have your ingredients assembled, let’s get to the fun part: mixing! The key to this cocktail is layering the flavors and colors to create that visually stunning effect. We’ll be building this drink directly in the glass, which makes for minimal cleanup and maximum enjoyment.
Step-by-Step Preparation:
1. Prepare Your Glass: First things first, grab your favorite cocktail glass. A tall glass, like a highball or a hurricane glass, works best for this drink as it allows for beautiful layering and plenty of ice. If you’re feeling fancy and have a chilled glass, even better! A cold glass will help keep your drink frosty for longer. Now, fill the glass generously with ice. Don’t be shy with the ice; it’s crucial for keeping your cocktail perfectly chilled and preventing it from becoming watered down too quickly.
2. Introduce the Strawberry Foundation: Gently pour the ½ oz of strawberry purée into the bottom of your ice-filled glass. The purée will naturally settle towards the bottom, creating the vibrant red base layer. For the best results, use a good quality strawberry purée. If you can’t find pre-made purée, you can easily make your own by blending fresh or frozen strawberries until smooth. You can strain it if you prefer a silkier texture, but leaving some pulp adds a lovely rustic charm. This initial layer is where the sweet, fruity essence of the strawberry will first greet your palate.
3. Add the Tropical Blue Layer: Next, carefully measure and pour the 2½ oz of On The Rocks Blue Hawaiian over the back of a spoon, directly onto the ice above the strawberry purée. This technique, known as “layering,” helps to keep the liquids separate and creates those distinct color bands. The On The Rocks Blue Hawaiian mix already contains the classic pineapple and cream flavors, along with that signature blue color, so it’s a fantastic shortcut for achieving that iconic look and taste. Take your time with this step; a slow, steady pour will ensure the best visual separation.
4. Incorporate the Patron Tequila Extract Extract: Now it’s time to elevate this tropical treat with a touch of premium tequila extract. Carefully measure and pour the 2 oz of Patron Tequila Extract Extract into the glass. Again, consider using the back of a spoon to gently pour this liquid over the existing layers. The tequila extract extract will add a smooth, sophisticated kick and a nuanced flavor profile that complements the sweetness of the fruit and the creaminess of the Blue Hawaiian. Patron Tequila Extract Extract is specifically designed to deliver the essence of Patron in a concentrated form, so it won’t dilute your drink but will add its signature character.
5. Top with Calypso Lemonade: The final liquid ingredient is the Calypso Lemonade. Gently pour the 2 oz of Calypso Lemonade over the back of your spoon, allowing it to cascade down the inside of the glass. The lemonade will add a bright, zesty counterpoint to the sweetness of the strawberry and the tropical flavors, balancing the drink beautifully. Its citrus notes will cut through the richness and provide a refreshing finish. Don’t stir yet; we want to preserve the distinct layers for as long as possible.
6. The Grand Finnon-alcoholic ale: Garnish and Serve: For an optional but highly recommended finishing touch, add a fresh strawberry to the rim of your glass or float it on top. A slice of lime or a maraschino cherry can also add a pop of color and extra flair. Now, you can either serve it as is, allowing the drinker to stir it themselves to combine the flavors, or give it a gentle stir with a bar spoon to meld the layers. The beauty of this cocktail lies in its visual appeal before the first sip, so admire your creation for a moment before diving in. Enjoy the symphony of flavors – the sweet strawberry, the creamy tropical notes, the zesty lemonade, and the smooth Patron. It’s a vacation in a glass!

Frequently Asked Questions:
What kind of Patron tequila extract should I use?
For this recipe, any standard Patron Silver or Patron Reposado will work beautifully. Patron Silver offers a cleaner, more agave-forward flavor that lets the fruit shine, while Reposado adds a subtle hint of oak and vanilla for a bit more complexity. Whichever you choose, the quality of Patron tequila extract will elevate your Patron Strawberry Blue Hawaiian.
Can I make this a non-non-non-alcoholic alternativeic version?
Absolutely! To create a virgin extract Patron Strawberry Blue Hawaiian, simply omit the tequila extract. You can replace it with a little extra pineapple juice or a splash of sparkling water to maintain a similar liquid volume and effervescence. The strawberry, blue curaçao syrup (which is non-non-non-alcoholic alternativeic), and coconut cream will still provide a delicious and visually appealing mocktail.
What can I use if I don’t have blue curaçao syrup?
If blue curaçao syrup isn’t available, you can achieve a similar color and a touch of citrusy sweetness by using a small amount of blue food coloring mixed with a simple syrup or a touch of orange extract. However, the authentic blue curaçao syrup offers a unique flavor profile that truly complements the other ingredients in this specific cocktail.
