Blue Hawaiian

Posted on 31 May 2010

The Blue Hawaiian, at Wikipedia.

“The Blue Hawaii was invented in 1957 by Harry Yee, legendary head bartender of the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki, Hawaii when a sales representative of Dutch distiller Bols asked him to design a drink that featured their blue color of Curaçao liqueur. After experimenting with several variations he settled on a version somewhat different than the most popular version today, but with the signature blue color, pineapple wedge, and cocktail umbrella.”

Here’s the recipe we used.

1oz Malibu Rum
1/2 oz blue curacao
3 oz pineapple juice
1 oz lime juice
Pineapple, Maraschino cherry garnish w/umbrella
