So here goes: The Blue Hawaii and Blue Hawaiian have similar ingredients, but is one derived from the other? Or were they developed separately? Both have blue curacao, light rum and pineapple juice. But the Blue Hawaii also has vodka and sweet & sour mix, while the Blue Hawaiian has neither of those incredients and instead includes cream of coconut. I know Harry Yee was the inventor of the Blue Hawaii, but does anyone have knowledge of the Blue Hawaiian's history?
