Are you:
The moon
Am I a sailor or a bunny?
Sailor moon: a Japanese anime
Moon rabbit: image of rabbit that appears on the surface of moon
When I am blue, you can drink me
Blue moon beer or blue moon cocktail, also moonshine
When I am red, I'll disappear
During a lunar eclipse, the moon turns red
I have serenity and cleverness
Mare Serenetatis, Mare Ingenii (sea of serenity, sea of cleverness) are two named plains on the moon
But I become a wolf if you double me
Werewolves appear during a full moon
I have only 12 friends
Twelve months: the word moon is related to the word month
But I haven't seen them in a while
Once in a blue moon

2$\begingroup$ Moon Moon is the name of a meme wolf. knowyourmeme.com/memes/moon-moon $\endgroup$ Commented May 11, 2015 at 4:24

$\begingroup$ Incidentally, for the title clue: Sailor Moon is often the subject of "rabbit" jokes or puns, as her name (Usagi) translates literally to rabbit. Not sure if that was intentional or just happened to work. (She actually appears to be named for the very same "moon rabbit" legend, so either one is really correct.) $\endgroup$ Commented May 11, 2015 at 7:44

For the last two lines:
The 12 men who've walked on the moon. Neither they nor anyone else have been back there in quite some time.

Here's my attempt at explanations for the last 3 lines.
But I become a wolf if you double me
Two Moons is a wolf in the brilliant Wheel of Time series of novels.
(I don't know if this is what the OP meant, but it fits perfectly!)
I have only 12 friends
But I haven't seen them in a while
Possibility 1:
Possibility 2:
there are thirteen moon cycles in a year, so each one has 12 friends, but they're spaced out through the year and don't see much of each other.
Possibility 3:
there are twelve other moons in the Solar System (around Jupiter, Saturn, etc.) bigger than a certain size.

$\begingroup$ I like your answers they are matching but it is not what I meant. In that case, I don't know if I should award the answer or not. Any insight? $\endgroup$– A.D.Commented May 10, 2015 at 14:38

$\begingroup$ @A.D. Depends what you mean by "award". By all means upvote it if you like it, but I think JS1 should get the tick since he got the answer first (if not a perfect explanation for every line). $\endgroup$ Commented May 10, 2015 at 15:57

$\begingroup$ I was talking about the tick indeed. Thank you $\endgroup$– A.D.Commented May 10, 2015 at 16:04

$\begingroup$ @A.D. But if you want people to get the intended explanations for the last 3 lines, maybe wait to award the tick? People tend to be more interested in looking at questions without an accepted answer. $\endgroup$ Commented May 10, 2015 at 16:05

$\begingroup$ I noticed that. I was waiting for it. If there is no further answer tomorrow, I'll add the explanation for the last 3 lines. $\endgroup$– A.D.Commented May 10, 2015 at 16:12
