This week moves on to the drink with the intriguing name, the Hawaii Kai Treasure. Like any solid Tiki Drink, it is a blend of fruit juices and rum, however it is the inclusion of green curacao that gives it its unique green shade. I always enjoy the texture of the frothy hurricane-glass concoctions, so this drink is already off to a good start. The mixture of citrus fruit makes it extremely tangy up front, and the syrup makes for a rich flavor. Whats in the treasure, you may ask. This soldier is:
- 2 ounces lime juice
- 1 ounce grapefruit juice
- 1/2 ounce light cream
- 1-1/2 ounces white rum
- 1/2 ounce green curacao
- 1/2 ounce orgeat syrup
- 1/2 ounce honey
Quite the grocery list of ingredients, makes for a complex flavor of tang and mellow. Jessica Forer is in the house this week, and she stumbled upon a great special by our bartender for the evening, the Sandshark. I'm not sure the ingredients, as I believe this may be a house special version of the more popular drink that shows up on recipe lists, but nonetheless it was delicious as well.
