Beachbum Berry gives recipes for the Hawaiian Eye in both Intoxicating and Remixed, although he credits the creation of that recipe to Tony Ramos at California's China Trader restaurant and not Harry Yee. The series was set at Hawaiian Village Waikiki but most of the interior scenes were shot in Hollywood and the cast were regulars at China Trader. Jeff also gives a Harry Yee-attributed recipe for the Tropical Itch in Remixed. The Sippin' Safari version is a gin drink rather than bourbon and passionfruit (and not nearly as good) is from the Kon-Tiki restaurants and not a Yee creation.
