So let me start with the drink that inspired this thread...

Seattle's Ohana is the closest thing we have to an actual Tiki bar. They have a happy hour with a $4 Blue Hawaiian. I finally got around to trying their version of this drink and still wish I hadn't. It was completely devoid of coconut which most every Blue Hawaiian recipe I've ever encountered has, it also seemed devoid of any flavor at all except sweet, and it seemed to be lacking any actual alcoholic content...So my sorrow over the terrible drink could not be drowned. It was like sipping a glass of somewhat chilled blue colored syrup water flavored with a rumor of rum. I finished (just in case there was any booze in it...Wasting alcohol is a terrible sin), paid, and stormed down to a not so exotic bar with a helluva $2 cheeseburger and a good selection of beer.
