Comments
The original as created by Harry Yee at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in 1957 had vodka but Disney has never added vodka to their Blue Hawaiians. Here’s the version from the Tambu Lounge as an example:
Tambu Lounge – Polynesian Resort
1/2 oz. Light Rum
1 oz. Blue Curacao
4 oz. Pineapple juice
2 oz. Sour mix
Garnish: Pineapple flag
Serve in a Tiki mug
Stacey try this one if you’re looking for another recipe:
1 oz pineapple juice
.5 oz lemon juice
.5 simple syrup
.25 oz blue curacao
.75 oz vodka
.75 light rum
The recipe doesn’t say vodka. It isn’t very blue.
My apologies, Stacey! Our Food and Beverages team made a few adjustments to the recipe and I have updated it in the text above!
