Blue Hawaii's do tend to be greenish-blue (perhaps like a shallow cove in Hawaii). If you want a delicious blue drink try a Blue Devil:
1.5 oz. gin
0.5 oz. blue curacao
0.5 oz lemon juice (more or less to taste)

For best results coco creme should be blended or mixed with a fork or wire whip before use. I prefer the coco creme over the trader vic's coconut syrup. I think the coco creme is made from real coconuts while the syrup is just coconut flavored sugar syrup. Another option is to use real coconut milk that's easily available in a can. It's more runny but makes for a fresh tasting drink.
