A vivid azure tiki cooler born at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki, where head bartender Harry Yee built it in 1957 around a salesman's blue curaçao — its color a deliberate echo of the Pacific. Light rum and vodka give it a clean tropical spine, while pineapple juice and a citrus-and-sugar sour balance the orange liqueur's sweetness. Bright, fruity, and unmistakably blue, it predates the Elvis film of the same name by four years.
Garnish: Pineapple Wedge, Maraschino Cherry
