Blue Hawaii

The famous tropical cocktail known as Blue Hawaii is made with a combination of rum, pineapple juice, curaçao, and sweet and sour mix. Vodka can also be added to the combination as well. The ingredients are stirred or shaken with ice, and the cocktail is garnished with a cocktail cherry and pineapple or orange slices.

A single cocktail umbrella is also preferred, but it is not mandatory. It is believed that the first version of Blue Hawaii was invented in 1957 in Waikiki by a bartender named Harry Yee. The cocktail is nowadays mostly associated with summer and warm weather.
