Island Chill Hawaii T-Shirt

Pour the sky into a glass and you get Blue Hawaii — wear that turquoise tiki-bar glow.

The Story Behind Blue Hawaii

Pour the sky into a glass and you get Blue Hawaii — that improbable turquoise cocktail that tastes like a postcard. One sip and the lanai breeze finds you, even if you're nowhere near the water.

The Blue Hawaii was mixed up in 1957 by Harry Yee, the legendary head bartender at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikīkī, when a liqueur rep asked him to find a use for a curious bottle of blue curaçao. Rum, pineapple, a whisper of coconut, that electric blue — it became the signature drink of mid-century Hawai'i, the one tourists ordered and locals teased them about. Today it's a wink: corny, beloved, and forever Waikīkī.

For Tiki-Bar Lovers & Cocktail Fans

For locals, this is the in-on-the-joke tee — a love letter to the tiki-bar glow of Kalākaua Avenue at sunset. For visitors, it's a memory that doesn't fade: that first impossibly blue cocktail you held while watching Diamond Head go pink across the bay.
