Tropical Drinks of Paradise
Good food isn't the only thing you'll find at these fine restaurants. Here are just a few of their exotic specialties.
Hecocks Purple Parrot
Restaurant: Hecocks beachside bar
Nothing says tropical like a colorful rum cocktail! Add Parrot Bay coconut rum, raspberry liqueur, and a splash of coconut syrup to a blend of pineapple, cranberry and orange juices. Shake, pour into a tall glass then top it off with Hana Bay dark rum, garnish with a
lime wedge. Enjoy this drink while lounging at Hecocks beachside bar overlooking Lahaina Harbor and the nearby island of Lana‘i.
Longhi's Lava Flow
Restaurant: Longhi’s
Delicious, creamy and lovely to behold, the Lava Flow is often thought
of as a Pina Colada with a strawberry swirl. Just mix an ounce and a
half of Bacardi Lite rum with an ounce each of coconut milk and
pineapple juice, along with a half-ounce of cream and a scoop of ice,
then blend and pour into a bucket glass. Add a splash of strawberry
puree, garnish with a fresh pineapple slice, and enjoy.
Tiki Lounge's Kihei Cooler
Restaurant: South Shore Tiki Lounge
This is a smooth, slightly tangy, not-too-sweet tropical drink to enjoy
in the hip, tikified surroundings of the Tiki Lounge. Take two parts
vodka to three parts lemonade, top with one part Hypnotiq as a floater.
Serve in a large tiki-face glass mug, garnish with a lemon wedge and
relax.
Tommy Bahama's Pineapple Mojito
Restaurant: Tommy Bahama’s
Tommy Bahama’s features a wide range of made-to-order mojitos, from
traditional to more creative combinations. To enjoy this tropical drink
Maui-style, just take a handful of fresh mint leaves, add two fresh
pineapple wedges, and then muddle in a tall glass filled with ice. Add
three ounces of Cruzan pineapple rum, and a splash each of lime juice
and syrup. Shake, top with Sprite, and serve in a pint glass. Garnish
with lime and a sugarcane stick.
Napili Kai Punch
Restaurant: The Sea House Restaurant
An elegant take on the classic Mai Tai. Simply mix Bacardi Lite rum
with our special passion-orange juice, pour into a bucket glass with
ice, and top with a Kahana dark rum float. Serve it with a slice of
sweet Maui Gold pineapple and a fresh Hawaiian-grown orchid. A
delicious tropical drink to match the beautiful sunsets seen from the
Whale Watcher’s Bar at the Sea House Restaurant.
Spago's Mango Maggie
Restaurant: Spago’s
Nothing quenches the thirst like a refreshing and festive mango
margarita. Spago’s special Mango Maggie cocktail features Patron Silver
tequila, Patron Citronage, mango puree, and fresh sweet-and-sour mix,
blended and served in an old-fashioned glass, with an orchid and lime
wedge. An island-appropriate end to a fun day in the sun.
