Ιστορία:

The creation of Keoke Coffee is credited to George Bullington in 1967, then owner of Bully's North steakhouse in Del Mar, California, USA. Long since closed, Bully's was described as being a "time-tested little steakhouse with the feel of an English pub and racehorse-themed decor." The story goes, George created the new coffee drink late one night at the bar and named it at the suggestion of a colleague who shared the fact that "George" was "Keoki" in Hawaiian (pronounced kee-OH-kee) and was sometimes spelt with an "i".

The Keoke Coffee is enjoying a revival thanks to being resurrected and rejuvenated by influential bartender Jeffrey Morgenthaler in February 2023. Jeffrey's recipe calls for a bonded 50% alc./vol. American brandy and omits the coffee liqueur in the original recipe.
