#65: Coronado Luau Special



After enduring the delicious, yet strong impact of Colonel Beach's Plantation Punch, we come to yet another intense booze-fest, the Coronado Luau Special.  As you can see in the photo, just like CBPP, it's a BIG drink.  Originally served in a big goblet, this drink was a favorite at the Luau Room at the Hotel Del Coronado, down in Coronado, CA.  It has since disappeared, but is now a featured drink at Forbidden Island in Alameda, CA.


This is easily one of my favorite drinks on the list.  Fruity flavor, great mix of booze, frothy texture, it's pretty much a slam dunk.  I can't wait to go to Forbidden Island to try their take on this masterpiece.
