In Hawaii, the cocktail culture is very much present. And these cocktails, they have names you’ll only find here.
Here are 5 local cocktails to enjoy in the Hawaiian capital :
What’s up, Tigerlilly ?
It’s a cocktail on the menu at Mahina & Sun’s bar: tequila, liliko’i, cinnamon and Riazul lime. It begins with a spicy taste that finally gives way to a sweet and sour citrus fruit.
Saint Matchamony
This sophisticated cocktail composed of Absolut Elyx, Matcha, Labne (Lebanese style yoghurt), honey and honeydew is a blend of flavours. Matcha matcha umcha is perfectly adapted to the acidic labo and both are tempered by the sweetness of honeydew and melon.
La chaula

Truffle Shuffle
This full-bodied cocktail includes Old Overholt rye whisky, green chartreuse, Frangelico, truffle oil, a whole egg and fresh lemon juice.
Nocturna tactical nuke
The latter is made from a blend of Naked Turtle white rum, Gordon gin, Svedka vodka, Blue Curaçao, fresh sour lemon and an inverted can of Red Bull.
