Blue Hawaii

I first had one of these in Hawaii on my senior trip...... just a month before Hawaii changed it's drinking age.  The original version is GREAT...but I like my version much better.  In 1957, when Harry Yee came up with this fascinating cocktail, infused rums weren't a thing.



The original Blue Hawaii:

3/4 ounce rum
3/4 ounce vodka
1/2 ounce blue curaçao
3 ounces pineapple juice
1 ounce sweet & sour mix

My version:

3/4 ounce Cruzan coconut infused rum
3/4 ounce vodka
1/2 ounce blue curaçao
3 ounces pineapple juice
1 ounce sweet & sour mix


The coconut rum adds an extra level of flavor. Yum.

CHEERS!
