Blue Hawai-Tai and a Pina Colada with Blue Curacao float.
Happy Independence Day.
Made these two double cocktails for a friend who was having a birthday. These jars from our take-out Trader Vic’s are coming in handy!
The cocktails are the Blue Hawai-Tai and the Disco Banana, a favorite of the birthday girl.
New issue of Exotica Moderne!
A ray of sunshine is the new release of the magazine covering the tiki lifestyle, including artists, music, and essays. This time, I have a cocktail published which makes it three issues in a row with photos, an article, or a recipe. It makes me feel good to contribute this magazine. Head on over to House of Tabu and pick up your copy.
It’s like the Blue Hawaii and the Mai Tai had a baby. This is an original riff and I hope you like it.
