Instructions
- Chill the cocktail preparation vessel by filling it with ice cubes, creating a frosty foundation for mixing.

Notes
- Balance the alcohol ratios carefully to prevent an overpowering or too-strong cocktail that might mask the tropical flavors.
- Experiment with fresh pineapple juice instead of canned for a more vibrant, authentic taste that elevates the drink’s overall quality.
- Use high-quality spirits to ensure a smoother, more refined Blue Hawaiian Long Island that doesn’t taste harsh or medicinal.
- Consider reducing the alcohol content for a lighter version by slightly decreasing the amount of each spirit, making it more approachable for those who prefer milder drinks.
