The green Hawaiian cocktail is a variant of the popular well-known and classic piña colada. It is considered to be a less sweet and more refreshing drink. The green Hawaiian cocktail has an emerald green color, when compared to the white color of the piña colada. Some people believe that this type of drink was invented in Waikiki, Hawaii in the late 1950s by the Kahala Hilton hotel bartender Joe Scali. Others think that it was invented in 1954 by Ernest Gantt, who was working at The Beachcomber Bar. Some people claim that it is not a country-specific drink and that it can be found in other parts of the world as well.
