The story of the Blue Hawaiian

The Blue Hawaiian was created in 1957 by Harry Yee, head bartender at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki. A spirits company had asked him to come up with a drink featuring blue curaçao. Yee is also credited with popularizing cocktail umbrellas and orchid garnishes in Hawaii.
