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.

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.

- 22.5mL Blue Curacao (0.75 oz)
- 22.5mL Cream of Coconut (0.75 oz)

1. Combine all the ingredients into your cocktail shaker

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 CZcams 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
i love the way you smile while you're giving the shake
Nothing brightens my day more than the Cheesy smile Steve the Bartender gives the camera when he starts shaking a cocktail
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 :)
Look at that smile at the start already a great vid
I love the way he smiles when he is shaking the drinks ,makes me smile too 🤩
I don't even drink and i love this show it just has a certain charm to it and it always makes my day
Have you tried any of the drinks? 😁
@@StevetheBartender_ i actually did and it was really good but i only drink rarely
The_Salad_Bird that’s probably a good thing.. it would save lots of money and stop you from doing silly things 😛
Still waiting on a 150k shot/shooter special, those are the best vids!!
200k....
hey steve, pls make more blue curacao drinks. cheers ✌🏼
More to come! 👌
An Adios MotherF would be fun to watch
The small bag in which you crush the ice with a small mallet is completely everything. 👏🏼😻
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.
The smile always gets me.
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!
i love how he smile when shaking it
Thanks Steve, Since viewing your awesome videos' my house has become an open bar with happy hour everyday .... keep the cocktails flowing
You are so down to earth - keep doing you. I'm really liking your videos :)
Just discovered this channel. I am now buzzing. Excellent way to spend the lock down in my area.
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
Ive found a new drinks channel.. Someone who actually appears and goes through the video instead of shorts.. Subscribed!
That smile is what's getting me through this quarantine
It's the big smile before the shaker for me! Thanks for the video, mate!
I feel like Kat reminds him before he shakes! 🤔😜
Omg that smile get's me everytime!
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! 🤣
Just so you'll know, 'shake n' smile' is bartender 101. Well done Steve! ❤️
🤣 that moment when almost dropped the cream of coconut can got me cracking up 😂 my self but thanks again for those amazing cocktails recipes
Great content Steve, keep it up!
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
Another one on my favorite list, thank you sir!
Most welcome!
Subbed for the cocktails and that mid shake smile!
You’re great! Love these!
This will always be my favorite cocktail. Both.
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..
Steve entertaining and informative and that smile lol you brilliant
Good to the last slurp! You crack me up with your ad libs ... and I do so appreciate your historical background information on the drinks - thanx :)
Thanks CM! I try to keep a little bit of interesting info without waffling 😆
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.
That smile gets me every time when “shakin” lol 😘
Thank you so much for this video steve. It's very tricky because they're similar cocktails with similar names
Welcome Maximiliano!
New subscriber and I love the content man. I will be making this one tonight
Oooh yum - another colourful cocktail to try
I was searching for this!! Thanks Steve :)
No worries Lars 👌
How have I just found this guy?! So many cocktails I’m going to trying tonite!!!
😂 welcome to the channel!
Think im going to buy a cocktail set and start trying these drinks, keep up the great videos
Feel free to hit me up and I’ll look after you (I own cocktailkit.com.au)..
Been waiting for this !!!
It’s been a long time coming...
Fun, professional bartending skills and very properly explained 👍🏽 sir.
I just made the Blue Hawaiian for my show. It comes out on Friday. I am glad mine looks like the one you made. It tasted great as well. I need to up my garnish game though. Once this pandemic ends, I can get to the store more often. Everyone loves fun Steve!! Cheers!
You got a new subscriber, Steve! Keep 'em coming
Welcome to the channel Joseph!
Had a house party this weekend and made a batch cocktail blue hawaii and it was a big hit!
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.
Thank you for leaving the camera running. Adorable.
I love the Blue Hawaiian! thank u. great video idea
This is amazigly good!
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?
Oh I love this video. Cleared up the confusion for me and btw I also like the blue Hawaii more. Sadly white rum is quite expensive in my country so I then to use coconut rum more
Know what I would LOVE to see?
Bartenders on CZcams 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.
And I’m second lol still number one to aspire from his videos! Just got into bartending and I’m loving your vids!
So close Jayy, gotta be quick! Good to hear you’re enjoying the vids 👌
First video ive ever seen of you. The midshake smile got me, subbd and liked. Smile is Better than the drinks
gonna share this with my friends u deserve more viewers
Thanks Harvey! ☺️
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!
Yaay! We are a team now! I like how it sounds.
Idk why I watch these, I don’t drink but they’re cool to watch 😂
Lol, thanks Roxanne!
Every time I'm just sitting there like
"Cmon Steve gimme that smile......there it is💕"
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.
As always great video, loved the ending :)
Thanks Stig! Didn’t drag on too much..?
Steve the Bartender Not at all it just make it more funny and Down to earth 😊👍
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.!
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!
when steve smiles at the camera while shaking is the best part someone make montage
More of these bts at the end of the videos, please! Great as always :D
Will do! Just don’t want to bore people :-)
2 shakes & smiles, my day is made!
For him to say he didn't like it, he sure did drink it all up. 😂😉😂
Haha, can’t let it go to waste!
hey Steve, love the videos keep it up. Can you show a cocktail using Passoa? thanks!
I can buy a can of Coco López very easy in my supermarket, I’m from Puerto Rico! Greetings from the Caribbean!
He always smiles when he shakes
Just made the blue Hawaii and it was delish
That smile 😁
😝
Can't wait to see Fun Steve!!!
Yeah,combine both and give it a new name,dont forget that smile man!✊
The shake and the smile. :D
Greetings from Argentina nice work !!!
One of the best bartenders ❤️
Aww shucks! ☺️
Shake it like a polaroid picture...
Love that smile steve!!!! 🍸🍸🍸🍸🇦🇺
Thanks Joanne!!
It's hard to beat lemon/lime juice + simple syrup in a mixed cocktail. It almost always balances (and hides) the alcohol. I'm not surprised that the original version beat the coconut one.
I just like this guy so much
Lol thanks Jason!
When you're reaaaaaly broke you just use malibu and pineapple soda with blue food dye.
😳 or just drink water.
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..
Ooh I found my next drink...looks tasty
That mid-shake smile! Lol 😂
I really like ur smile while shaking lol
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 want to know which videos were filmed next!
The app is great my man! Yall download it link in the description!
love you!
When your shaking your drink your serious but if you look at the camera you turn on that electric smile love your content brother
Think it's cuz he's looking over at the Mrs. and she reminds him to smile! 😂
@@Barprints he does a great job that smile is serious he looks regular and as soon as he faces the camera POW SMILE😃
That save on the creme of cocunut. Good catch mate.
The van was so slippery - I almost lost the lot!
I've actually made one similar to this for some friends before. Got the recipe from a bartenders manual I have, called for banana juice, blue Curacao, pineapple juice, buttermilk and rum. They said it looked like the blue milk from star wars.
Sounds good but have you ever tried to juice a banana!?
@@StevetheBartender_ I know right? I've tried to took for it in a bunch of stores but I have never found banana juice. Usually substitute lemon iced tea.
For the blue Hawaiian, you might want change it to 2 parts pineapple juice, 1 part blue curaçao and 1 part coconut rum.
Great smile!
Ok i dont even drink but
i keep watching you cuz of ur smile 😱
