If you're wondering why it's called a "Blue Hawaiian," we don't really know. All the Blue Hawaiian wiki page says is that it's called "Blue Hawaiian" because it's blue. But the whole Hawaii part, we're not sure — probably 'cause it was first made in Hawaii? Maybe because it reminds people of Hawaii? We don't know! Also, don't confuse this with the "Blue Hawaii" cocktail; that's a totally different drink. In all likelihood, the Blue Hawaiian is based on the Blue Hawaii cocktail, which was, according to Wikipedia, "invented in 1957 by Harry Yee, legendary head bartender of the Hilton Hawaiian Village." It also seems that the "Blue Hawaii" name is indirectly related to the eponymous 1961 Elvis Presley film. Although the drink isn't named after the title of the movie, but rather the name of the title track, which was composed by Leo Robin. BLUE HAWAIIAN 1 oz. (30ml) Rum 1 oz. (30ml) Blue Curacao 3 oz.
