Fun Fact
The Blue Hawaii was invented in 1957 by bartender Harry Yee at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki, after a representative from Bols asked him to create a drink featuring their new blue curaçao liqueur.
Bartender's Tips
- 💡For a sweeter Blue Hawaii, add a splash of coconut cream.
- 💡To intensify the blue color, use clear rum and vodka with a full half-ounce of blue curaçao.
- 💡For a lighter version, top with club soda before serving.
