 Hey, welcome to Drinks Made Easy. Today I'm going to show you how to make the original Blue Hawaii Tropical Cocktail. Two fun facts about the Blue Hawaii. Number one, it was originated in 1957 when a Bolster distributor contacted the head bartender at the Hilton Hawaiian Village on Waikiki Beach, Harry Yee, and asked him if he could design a new drink around their Blue Curacao. Fun fact number two, this drink is wrongly attributed to Elvis Presley's Blue Hawaii when in actuality, Harry drew his inspiration from Waikiki Wedding, a Bing Crosby movie that came out in 1937 that had a song in it called Blue Hawaii. So to make this drink, the first thing you're going to do is you're going to take three quarters an ounce of vodka, add three quarters an ounce of Puerto Rican rum, that's how Harry made the original recipe. One ounce of sour mix. Now you can make your own homemade, which is what I did because that's just so much better when you're dealing with drinks. You want the freshest possible citrus that you can, not the bottled stuff that might have different kind of chemicals. If you want to know how to make that, check the description below. Then finally, you're going to add a half an ounce of Blue Curacao and three ounces of pineapple juice. Now as you can see the cocktail color is green, but you might be asking yourself then why is it called a Blue Hawaiian? Remember, bowls approach Harry Yee and making a drink around their Blue Curacao. Hence the name. Add that to a shaker tin full of ice and give it a good shake. Straight into a hurricane glass filled with ice. Garnish with a pineapple wedge. Add a cherry and there you have the original Blue Hawaii. Hey, thanks for watching all the way through.
