Learn about the origins and ingredients of the Blue Hawaiian and Blue Hawaii cocktails, two tropical drinks with similar names but distinct flavors.
It’s easy to confuse Blue Hawaiian and Blue Hawaii, two similarly named tropical cocktail recipes with nearly identical vibrant blue colors. But the two have different ingredients and origin stories. The Blue Hawaii dates to 1957 when Harry Yee, a bartender at what’s now the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Resort in Honolulu, Hawaii, created a cocktail for Dutch distiller Bols. Yee made his Blue Hawaii with vodka, white rum, blue curaçao liqueur, and sour mix.
The Blue Hawaiian recipe emerged from Yee’s rubric, but it brought cream of coconut to the mix. The resulting drink has an unapologetically luxurious texture and coconut flavor analogous to the piña colada, another frozen cocktail often poured into frosty hurricane glasses. While you could serve a Blue Hawaiian on the rocks, why would you? Build the drink directly in the blender with cubed or crushed ice.
