Classic: Blue Hawaii

This vibrant, tropical cocktail was created in 1957 by Harry Yee, the famed bartender at Waikiki’s Hilton Hawaiian Village. Tasked with showcasing Bols Blue Curaçao, Yee crafted this eye-catching drink with rum, pineapple juice, and sweet-and-sour mix. Unlike the Blue Hawaiian, which includes coconut cream, the Blue Hawaii is lighter and more citrus-forward, reflecting Hawaii’s bright, refreshing flavors. It can also be blended with ice for a frozen version.
