Recipe instructions for a Blue Hawaiian:

• There are very few people who don't like the Blue Hawaiian, it's a vacation in liquid form. This festive blue cocktail recipe will help you get in the vacation mood! A Blue Hawaii is typically served on the rocks, but here is one of our favorite Blue Hawaiian recipes pureed in a blender. We like our vacation drinks smooth.

  1. Chill a hurricane or highball glass with ice and pour it out when you are ready to pour the ingredients in the glass.
  2. Combine rum, blue Curacao, pineapple juice, cream of coconut, and 1 cup crushed ice in blender.
  3. Puree on high speed until smooth.
  4. Pour into your chilled glass.
  5. Garnish with a slice of pineapple and a maraschino cherry.

  Enjoy your Blue Hawaiian and start dreaming of beaches and Elvis.

Cocktail History:

• Per wikipedia: "The Blue Hawaii was invented in 1957 by Harry Yee, legendary head bartender of the Hilton Hawaiian Village (formerly the Kaiser 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."
