Harry Yee was a bartender at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Resort and Spa when, in 1957, he was asked by a representative of Bols to create a new drink using the company's new Blue Curacao liqueur. The Blue Hawaii (or often called Blue Hawaiian) was born. There are numerous variations of this recipe, many using Creme de Coconut, but this is the authentic recipe.
