I've been avoiding this cocktail - The BLUE HAWAII

Get your bottles at House of Bitter Bear 👉 https://houseofbitterbear.com Today's cocktail is the Blue Hawaii! I've always had a bias against unnaturally colored drinks, and for that reason I haven't featured any on the channel. That is, until today. After all, the Blue Hawaii is a tropical classic from the 50s that's inspired countless variations. It deserves its time in the spotlight. I'm putting my own spin on this one and conquering this fear of mine once and for all. It should also be noted this cocktail is highly drinkable - dangerously so. Enjoy responsibly, and cheers!
