Blue Hawaii and Blue Hawaiian Cocktail Recipes:
BLUE HAWAII COCKTAIL
Bartender Harry Yee created the Blue Hawaii cocktail in 1957 while he was working at the Hawaiian Village in Waikiki. A Bols sales representative came to Yee asking for a drink made with the company’s blue curaçao liqueur and the Blue Hawaii is the result of his tinkering. Yee was also known for possibly being the first to add banana to a Daiquiri as well as his extravagant and unique garnishes. Apparently the original was shaken but it was commonly served frozen too. The original also called for sour mix so I opted for a house made sour mix with equal parts of lemon, lime and simple.
INGREDIENTS
22.5mL White Rum (0.75 oz)
22.5mL Vodka (0.75 oz)
22.5mL Blue Curacao (0.75 oz)
90mL Pineapple Juice (3 oz)
22.5mL House Sour Mix (0.75 oz)
METHOD
1. Combine all the ingredients into your cocktail shaker
2. Shake with ice
3. Strain into a cocktail glass with crushed ice
4. Garnish with a pineapple wedge, cherry and umbrella
HOUSE SOUR MIX:
1 Part Fresh Lemon Juice
1 Part Fresh Lime Juice
1 Part Simple Syrup
BLUE HAWAIIAN COCKTAIL
The Blue Hawaiian is a variation on the Blue Hawaii but I’d argue that it more closely resembles a Pina Colada than a Blue Hawaii. According to Simon Difford, it was PROBABLY created by Don the Beachcomber in Los Angeles. This drink can be served frozen or on the rocks - I prefer to serve it on crushed ice as I’m not a big fan of frozen drinks.
INGREDIENTS
45mL White Rum (1.5 oz)
22.5mL Blue Curacao (0.75 oz)
22.5mL Cream of Coconut (0.75 oz)
60mL Pineapple Juice (2 oz)
METHOD
1. Combine all the ingredients into your cocktail shaker
2. Shake with ice
3. Strain into a cocktail glass with crushed ice
4. Garnish with a pineapple wedge, cherry and umbrella

We're a team now? Okay, I'll take it. Only as long as you smile whenever you shake a cocktail though.*
Only if you want to be.. just trying to mix it up 😆 I usually say ‘guys’ but it’s not the same outside of Australia..
@@StevetheBartender_ I got used to you saying that quite fast so this was a bit of a surprise if I'm honest. One thing I like about you though is you actually engage with the people in your comments section instead of just ignoring them like others do.
I noticed that he said "team" instead of "guys" as well but I was laughing so hard at "fun Steve" when I was making my comment that I forgot to mention it. Go Team Steve!!
Im totally up for being on Steve's team and having him as my captain...
@@grumpasalty3859 I think I did whip it out real fast in this one especially! I try to keep up with comments but there's still 1000s that I simply can't catch up on... I kind of understand when people slowdown when it comes to responding to comments (but stopping altogether is rude!) as there is a lot to keep up on and the UA-cam comment management is lacking big time..
dammit steve, you always get me with that mid-shake smile
also yall better like this because I need that cream of coconut video
OMG!! I was going to say the same thing!! I ALWAYS wait for that smile. It does stuff to me!
Now I don't have to say it! Makes me smile every time. Cheeky Steve.
I know right!!!! Swoon
It always catches me off guard and it's great.
Signature mid shake smile...👍🏻😍so unique, please keep it.
Why am I even watching this? I'm allergic to pineapples.
For Steves midshake smile ofcourse!
i wondered if the midshake smile was maybe how he was trained to always smile while shaking or something
I love how he smiles every time when HE is shaking the drinks
Spreading the cocktail joy! 🍹
hey steve, pls make more blue curacao drinks. cheers ✌🏼
More to come! 👌
An Adios MotherF would be fun to watch
Still waiting on a 150k shot/shooter special, those are the best vids!!
200k....
It's the big smile before the shaker for me! Thanks for the video, mate!
I feel like Kat reminds him before he shakes! 🤔😜
just recently getting into cocktails. got a bit inspired by you and some other bartenders and self claimed barkeepers. I can only say that I hope to always have a smile while I shake a cocktail like you do! You are absolutely amazing!
That smile is what's getting me through this quarantine
🤣 that moment when almost dropped the cream of coconut can got me cracking up 😂 my self but thanks again for those amazing cocktails recipes
Look at that smile at the start already a great vid
That smile gets me every time when “shakin” lol 😘
I really like some twist on Blue Hawaiian. It's 40ml of white rum, 40ml of classic Malibu, 20ml of Blue Curacao and 60ml of pineapple juice. It won't be so creamy like that one with Coco Lopez inside, but it's delicious
How have I just found this guy?! So many cocktails I’m going to trying tonite!!!
😂 welcome to the channel!
Thank you for leaving the camera running. Adorable.
When you're reaaaaaly broke you just use malibu and pineapple soda with blue food dye.
😳 or just drink water.
More of these bts at the end of the videos, please! Great as always :D
Will do! Just don’t want to bore people :-)
Steve, for the Blue Hawaiian try adding 1/2 oz lime juice and reduce the cream of coconut to 1/2 oz. Waaaaaay better and more balanced.
A short cut is to use coconut flavored rum and skip the Coco Lopes crème. This makes the drink less cloudy.
In addition you can also use a pineapple flavored rum, and skipping the pineapple juice. The drink comes out a crystal clear blue color and tastes almost the same.
The problem then is that you have only alcohols in the drink and nothing cutting or mixing with it, thereby making it more potent per ounce/ml basis that is it has to other ingredients. Without the juice and coconut you also have less sugars, and making it less of a hangover hazard.
Alcoholic beverages + sugars = Increased chance of and/or worse of a hangover.
Subbed for the cocktails and that mid shake smile!
For him to say he didn't like it, he sure did drink it all up. 😂😉😂
Haha, can’t let it go to waste!
He always smiles when he shakes
First video ive ever seen of you. The midshake smile got me, subbd and liked. Smile is Better than the drinks
I need to get a quality cocktail set after watching these videos. -Steve, keep up the great work!
Hit me up if you need 👌 cocktailkit.com.au is my website..
Probably an insanely stupid question but do i have to prepare the sour mix beforehand or can i just do 7.5ml of each lemon, lime and syrup (or because i'm lazy just 15ml of either lemon or lime)? I honestly love your channel so much... first thing i do when i get home from work every day is to check which drink we'll make today and second thing is driving to the store and getting some liquor i'm missing lol
i love the way you smile while you're giving the shake
No warm water. Just mix it with a fork or knife. Quick mix.
I love your cocktail app, Steve. I also made the Blue Hawaiian using the original recipe you presented and it turned out great. One of my favorites visually and really good flavor. I normally don't like sweet drinks, but this one is a real crown pleaser and impresses people to boot! Thank you so much for your lovely app and videos that have made home bartending a lot of fun as well as educational for me.
What is the name of the app?
Look fresh like ocean...
Yep! Thanks apparently what the original creator of the Blue Hawaii did - compare it to the ocean each time he made one!
i got "accidentally" drunk the other night and watched almost all of your videos, that classic mid shake smile had me laughing my tits off for some reason
Hmmm.. thank you? 🤣
The app is great my man! Yall download it link in the description!
I would take the Blue Hawaii over the Hawaiian. Love your videos. I'd love to have a full bar to play with and create.
It takes a while to grow a bottle collection.. you definitely need restraint not to drink it before it grows 🤣
I can buy a can of Coco López very easy in my supermarket, I’m from Puerto Rico! Greetings from the Caribbean!
I prefer the blue Hawaii too!
*Blasts two whole drinks plus the leftover in the shaker* "We've got like five more videos to shoot"
I have seen this arc before on How to Drink... many times... XD
Haha, Greg loves sinking a few whilst filming! 🥳
Love how the maraschino cherry is the “if-you’ve-got-it” garnish and not the pineapple
Heh, I think the pineapple is more suited/crucial to the garnish.. but yeah, probably less chance someone is going to have a pineapple lying around! 🤣
instead of using the coconut cream try Malibu rum less sweet that way
Pretty sure the sugar content of Malibu is almost as much as cream of coconut..? ..and it would be a different cocktail too if you changed it..
Just me that gets creeped out when he smiles when shaking the mixer
That view to like ratio is pretty impressive Steve
Thanks Lane! The Orange & Cinnamon Margarita from a few days back is perfect so far! 👌
>australian vodka
>made in new zealand
Uh
What
I didn’t really construct my sentence correctly... it’s an Australian owned company that bottles a New Zealand vodka.
I thought this too 🙂
Steve the Bartender you say this every video with that vodka in it.
Mesh a lot of our products are like that
For anyone who is reading these to use coco Lopez if you’re actually working in a bar and need it to be smooth and creamy without the hot water every time I like to warm up the can with hot water until it’s complete liquid again and then shake it with the top on and then put a few containers worth in my blender and keep it on low for like 5 minutes and it is super creamy and doesn’t solidify even when refrigerated after that point. I keep it in a bar pourer at work and it makes colada’s super easy to make when in a rush :)
Ive always made a blue hawaiian with the addition of the juice of half a lime to a full lime to balance out the sweetness. Give it a try with that and see how you feel!
Nice comparison.
Oh man...I saw you almost drop that shit and my heart skipped a beat with ya! Nice recovery. Keep doing what you're doing, love the vids!
"If this video makes it to a thousand likes" as if there's a chance it wouldn't :D
Also, could probably make the blue hawaiian with a regular cream of coconut or coconut milk? That'd be a bit less sweet.
Haha, it flew past that milestone! Yeah, I’d probably opt for coconut cream with a touch of simple..
Hope you'll be doing some Halloween cocktails for the spooky coming weeks :)
Isn’t Halloween at the end of Oct?? 👻
@@StevetheBartender_ Yes true, cant be prepared enough!
You got a new subscriber, Steve! Keep 'em coming
Welcome to the channel Joseph!
I love how the straw appears as if by magic. @2:54
The blue Hawaiian is my go to drink and I find it so weird that I don't ever look at these type of videos and it came up in my recommended list 🤔🤔🤔
Idk why I watch these, I don’t drink but they’re cool to watch 😂
Lol, thanks Roxanne!
Everyone seems to enjoy the midshake smile, but it caught me off guard and seemed a bit creepy 😂 He's got a lovely smile it's just the combination of his intense facial expressions while shaking that leads and follows the smile that makes me uneasy lol.
Haha, thanks for the feedback even if you did call me a creep 🤣
Is there any reason you used different style shakers for these different cocktails?
Technically no but. A two piece or boston shaker can do everything however at home some find the cobbler shaker easier for egg white cocktails if shaking without ice.
Yeah there’s really no difference which you go with, it really comes down to preference. Personally, I prefer a cobbler shake, although finding good ones (that don’t stick together even when it’s cold can be difficult. A good one can last you a long while.
@@f00dify look for parisian cobbler shaker they are well designed.
I’m different then these guys, I’ve never been a professional bartender and I absolutely 100% will always choose a Boston (2 piece) shaker over a cobbler(3 piece) never used a Parisian, so can’t speak to that. I found that although a 3 piece is easier to use for beginners, I quickly switched to a 2 piece as I found it more reliable, my 3 piece would always get stuck together and I’d either have to hit it against the counter or worse, under hot water, to get it separated.
ethangillese Parisian is definitely the best. Tend to have much bigger volume, 2 piece, easy to shake and separate, look sexy, and fairly uncommon so you look unique.
Both looks so beautifull.. but I prefer less sugary...
Same here... the Coco López can be overwhelmingly sweet..
Little knowledge like Blue Curacao being orange liquer is great for us beginners! Thank you!
Do did this video get 1,000 for that DIY coconut cream? :)
Know what I would LOVE to see?
Bartenders on UA-cam using the Blue Curaçao from the company THAT IS ACTUALLY MADE IN CURAÇAO!
Ya know, we are a small island, with a small economy. One of our pride and joys is Blue Curaçao.
Why not show support by getting the real stuff????
Edit: your pronunciation of Curaçao is even spot on.
Ooh I found my next drink...looks tasty
I love the way he smiles when he is shaking the drinks ,makes me smile too 🤩
love your cocktails. And you are so cute.
Shucks, thanks Gege!
I love how he smiles every time when HE is shaking the drinks
Just so you'll know, 'shake n' smile' is bartender 101. Well done Steve! ❤️
Blue Hawaiian is my choice
Steve... before watching your vids, my wife noticed me laughing during the mid-shake. I tried to be serious but the harder I tried... the more I had to smile, like you. Was funny seeing you doing the same haha Great videos btw.!
Man that accent..!
Did he just said blue KEROSENE 🤣😂🙈💩💩🌈🌈🌈
Fun, professional bartending skills and very properly explained 👍🏽 sir.
The Blue Hawaiian reminds me of one of my favorite cocktails: "The swimming pool" or is that just another name for the same drink? xD
I really hope this video gets the 100 likes in time, cuz I'll make a little party one Friday and I always just used coconut syrup for that (～￣▽￣)～
My swimming pool recipe:
40ml white rum
20ml Wodka
20ml Blue Curacao
20ml Coconut syrup
60ml pineapple juice
optional: 10ml of cream
+crushed ice ofc
Correct! Same name - I read it earlier today but can’t remember where..
@@StevetheBartender_ Looks like I really gotta try the Blue Hawai too :D
「X3NON」キセノン z
Emily Chatham it is an orange liqueur dyed blue, you could just use normal curaçao or triple sec for a similar flavour without the colour
Well time to make new accounts to like the video
Haha, thanks Pie Lord!
blue hawaii is my fav drink. couple ideas for variation; let the solids settle out of the pineapple juice and use just the juice. the drink will be a bit sweeter and will be much more blue. 2) try layering in the glass over ice. juice, sour mix (I use about half that much myself), rum, vodka, top with the blue curacao. stir with your straw b4 drinking. lastly, to mash up the drinks, make a blue hawaii but use coconut rum. pretty much hits the middle ground exactly. cheers :)
Nice one Boo! Will have to try your suggestions..
Suggestion sir! Mix all the ingredients of both drinks in your shaker, shake and pour over crushed ice and see what you get. DO IT STEVE!
THAT sounds like a great sip! 😜
Lol I just got half way through the video and had to go to Walmart and I found that exact same coconut cream stuff 😂 $7.00. My blue circao just came in the mail today... guess what I’m drinking right now 😝
Blue curacao is not an orange liqueur, it is made from a citrus called Laraha.
Floating some Myer's Dark rum over the Blue Hawaiian (and an ounce of lime juice before shaking and pouring) would make it better than the Hawaii, in my opinion.
Possibly but was just making the original for the vid 👌
I made both and couldn't choose which was better. Great job! Thank you. Ive been looking for a good Blue Hawaii for a long time.
I came here for the smile
You are so down to earth - keep doing you. I'm really liking your videos :)
The yellow from the pineapple juice and sour mix turned it green.
Yes it did 😁
@@StevetheBartender_ so its actually a GREEN Hawaiia, not blue.
jinxiejae yeah pretty much... turquoise? 😆
the blue Hawaii is something Shawn spencer would drink
like if you agree
The recipe I use for the Blue Hawaiian adds orange juice. IMO it adds more tang and I think it makes it taste better. You might like that version more given that you liked the tang of the Blue Hawaii
Requesting a mermaid drink 🧜🏼♀️ please!!! Not too sweet ;)
Pay a visit to Educated Barfly and/or How to Drink and/or Cocktail Chemistry as Fun Steve please!!
Would love to but I’m in Australia! I added a Patreon goal that if I hit 500 supporters I would book flights - I’m at 80 currently so almost 1/5 of the way there!
Please add jack daniel cocktail video
Sorry but I don’t use Jack Daniel’s for any cocktails..
@@StevetheBartender_ ok
Akhil jayakumar you’ve always got the Lynchburg Lemonade!
Steve the Bartender is their a story behind why you don’t use Jack Daniels Steve? Just curious....
The Blue Hawaii is improved if you double the white rum and cut out the vodka. Then it's a Blue Hawaiian with sour mix instead of cream of coconut
Am I the only one who saw that straw magically appear after he made the Blue Hawaii? Haha
That was my magic move.. 😝
Combine the 2 drinks then, Steve! & do your own thing. 👏👏👏
Will do if I make either again 👌
Ok i dont even drink but
i keep watching you cuz of ur smile 😱
Nothing brightens my day more than the Cheesy smile Steve the Bartender gives the camera when he starts shaking a cocktail
“I don’t like this” *drains the glass*
Do a team up with educated barfly and how to drink!!!!
Would love to but a little hard as I’m in Australia 😁
@@StevetheBartender_ As much as I like those two other channels , I prefer yours. It's that smile!! Keep up the good work . Love your content !
I am new to his channel and I am already addicted to watching
Welcome Noah! Plenty to catch up on.. stay away from the cringey old vids - haha!
@@StevetheBartender_ But the cringey old vids are the best! JK!
Why do you need the sweet coconut cream? You said the drink was too sweet, so use less coconut cream unsweetened. Sometimes less is more
Hi Steve, if you put some color(as the one for cakes) to a triple sec to get a Blue Curaçao, would ir affect the expiration date? How much time would be good to consider effective that mix? Greetings from Monterrey, Mx
Aye Shake And Smile gang where you at?
Can I use Orange curaçao instead of the blue one?
I hate blue curaçao taste, I think it ruins everything and I suppose it's the color taste fault because orange curaçao it's ok!
Yep, feel free to use orange Curacao - it will look a lot different though 👀
If I cannot pick up coconut cream, when I have a house party, I usually just use a coconut rum. I also take a slice of lime, squeeze it in the drink, and then put the rest in, so while I drink, the lime seeps in and the drink actually gets better.
hey Steve, love the videos keep it up. Can you show a cocktail using Passoa? thanks!
Is it just me or does this guy make anyone else want to start drinking as soon as you get out of bed?
Hahaha, a dangerous channel!
Wait, so should I take my like back since the cream of coconut makes it too sweet?
PS. Your the reason that made me start pursuing this as a hobby. Gracias de PR 😁!!
Mgm 1002 haha, if you must.. 😌
@@StevetheBartender_ NEVER!! 😁😁 I would like it twice if I could... Salud 🍹😎
When he shakes the blue Hawaii it’s looks somewhat what animated
Just me... ok
Where is the world tour drinking with Steve the Bartender with u as the bartender? Pay 50 american for that night out. Dont sleep on it.
I'm not sure if my liver could handle a world tour...
Have you invented your own drink yet ?
Legend of Boxhanz That’s what I want to know?!

🍹😋👌🏻those look soo good! I agree that the blue Hawaiian can be too sweet, because ive made piña colada using the Coco Lopez. Do you think that if maybe by adding a bit of coconut cream(because it's not sweetened) to the Coco Lopez, would help it still come out good, but not as sweet? 🤔
