Blue Hawaii on a Budget | $1.77 Drink Tiki Recipe
Today we're going to show you how to make the Blue Hawaii tiki cocktail recipe on a budget. This beverage will cost you about $1.77 per drink if you make it at home. The recipe: bit.ly/3W56kIx
Bartender Starter Kit: bit.ly/3XtufUy
The Blue Hawaii is a cocktail designed in 1957 by Harry Yee, a native Hawaiian that died at 104 years old. He was a famous bartender that was part of the original tiki culture and worked to promote these great cocktails to their patrons and tourists.
The Blue Hawaii
3/4 oz Vodka
3/4 oz Light Rum
1 oz Blue Curacao
3 oz Pineapple Juice
1 oz Sour Mix
The flavor profile ends up being pineapple driven, as you'd expect, but with some nice orange citrus center and a light sour bite at the end. Easy, refreshing and fun. Great for pool parties or blended.
Sour Mix Ratio:
1 parts of Lemon
1 parts of Lime
2 parts of Simple Syrup
Of course, there is no other spirits that drive through on flavor because puerto rican rum is pretty light on flavor, vodka has no flavor, and the rest is basically citrus, sweets, and juices.

    • @cmcocktails
      @cmcocktails 5 днів тому

      There are plenty of options for blue curacao use, outside (of course) of using it for any cocktail that calls for orange liqueur (e.g. margarita). The Blue Hawaiian, Adios Mother Fucker (AMF) which is like a long island iced tea (but blue, with sprite instead of coke), Blue Lagoon, the layered shot that's red white and blue (often for 4th of july, etc.), the alien brain hemorrhage shot, and probably a few dozen others that I've not really put a lot of time into. I've done tons of them over the years, but not all of them are probably classic or the best cocktails I've had, but may be worth trying. For me, I always have at least one bottle on hand because of this cocktail, the blue Hawaiian, and the AMF. Those 3 alone justify keeping a $10 in my inventory :) Or, if you ever have someone come over that wants "something different", you can sub in blue curacao for orange liqueur and make it look new and exciting even if it's an old classic :)

      @@cmcocktails I hear ya. LOL. Unfortunately, in the remote hinterlands I live in there aren't a lot of choices. As ridiculous as it sounds, we feel fortunate to have our little Wal Mart.

    They sell passable almond syrup in the coffee section of your local grocer for pretty cheap if you need to save even more.

    • @cmcocktails

      not often do I see it, but sometimes. Most of the stuff they sell, around here anyway, is caramel, chocolate, toffee, vanilla, and "standard" flavors, you gotta go out of your way to get almond. But, you can get Torani Almond Syrup on amazon for like $14 for a 25 oz bottle. That still seems a bit steep, thought it was like $6 a bottle, but maybe that was pre-pandemic before the US printed money out of existence.

    You guys missed the salt. Shake of salt in each glass with the tequila before you add the squirt.

    • @cmcocktails

      we didn't miss the salt, it's pretty much always optional (and usually rimming of glasses). While a pinch of salt doesn't hurt, it also tends to reduce the tartness you may get from some of the beverages, if this was a super tart drink it would definitely help, but it's just not tart enough for me to care.

      yeah, ended up making them last Sunday, added a bit of Dole Pineapple/Orange to it (and a bit of orange liqueur) instead of orange curacao.

    I just watched the orange liquor video and margarita video. Is Ferrand your go to now? I love it but should I try Grand Marnier for margaritas?

    Time for a new orange liquor video? Ferrand dry curaçao is popular now.

      yeah, we use it all the time (like in the latest video), but I don't think we need a massive blind tasting to know it's tasty :)

    Ten years later. I still have an empty bottle I drank and an unopened bottle. Wonder how many are left unopened after the 100k bottles made

    Bro put in 1 oz of simple syrup instead of 1 tsp, and he put 3 dashes of bitters instead of 3 drops. Wtf

    • @cmcocktails
      @cmcocktails 26 днів тому

      yep, looks like he did 1 oz instead of 1/4 oz -- but 3 drops of ango is dumb, 3 dashes makes far more sense, who doesn't love ango.
