A Classical Taste of Tropical Paradise | Blue Hawaiian | Luxe Travel

 Friday, March 10, 2017

Blue Hawaiian, a classic cocktail, looks blue for sure and promises a taste of tropical paradise. In today’s cocktail renaissance, bartenders are liquid historians, reviving such long-neglected drinks as the kicky Moscow mule, the sexy caipirinha, and the frothy pisco sour. Can the vivid blue Hawaiian be far behind?
The cocktail was created at Waikiki’s beachfront Hilton Hawaiian Village resort in 1957 by barman Harry Yee for a representative of the Dutch distiller Bols, in order to showcase the company’s luminescent blue curaçao. Today, along with the Mai Tai and Piña Colada, the Blue Hawaii is one of the most popular, and colorful, drinks that are ordered in Hawaii.
How to make your own Blue Hawaiian?
The recipe varies with the trade winds, but silver rum, pineapple juice, and curaçao are classic components. Cream of coconut is always an apropos addition, and a garnish of island flowers adds aloha spirit. The new white rums, hailing from the Philippines to Panama, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii itself, are clean, bright spirits that give the blue Hawaiian a decidedly contemporary edge.
