This cocktail is named after the Halekulani Hotel in Waikiki where it was invented sometime in the 1930s. Unlike almost all other Tiki drinks, the Halekulani contains no rum - strictly a high-proof Bourbon is used! And it tends to be served up!
The Halekulani
1-1/2 oz. Bourbon (High-proof)
1/2 oz. Pineapple juice
1/2 oz. Orange juice
1/2 oz. Lemon juice
1/2 oz. Demerara syrup
1 barspoon Real Grenadine
1 dash Angostura bitters
The Halekulani

This drink also works well over fresh ice in a rocks glass. Just saying!!!

Hi, I'm Scott Gardner, your mindful mixologist. While I am not a professional bartender, I have made well over two hundred different and unique cocktails, and invented over fifteen original drinks, including my famous European Vacation, Muzetta's Waltz, and The Cherry Bella, all of which can be found in my book, Lock it, Flip it, Kick it & Shake!
Besides shaking, stirring, and sipping, I also enjoy golfing, reading, and writing. My wife and I both love animals and we have recently gotten into birding, which is a fun and rewarding hobby. And our favorite birds... The Philadelphia Eagles, of course! Go Birds!
