Hula Hula Cocktail

Saturday, July 13, 2024 

Before cocktail hour with Dale I had a cigar out in the garage.

Finished up the Blue Hawaiian I had left over from the other night. 

                     

Brought back the Hula Hula Cocktail. It's been a while. 

                      

This is one of the first tiki drinks I made on my own because it's so simple. It's one part gin (I used Bombay Sapphire), one part orange curacao, and one part orange juice. 

Dale and I listened to Ultra Lounge Vol. 1: Mondo Exotica. It's been a while since I've listened to this one. It's one of the best Exotica samplers out there. 

Also listened to Ultra Lounge: Hey Bartender which is lots of fun as well.

3 ounces Plantation Rum

1 1/2 ounces Orange Curaçao 

1/2 ounce Falernum

3 ounces Grapefruit Juice*

Ingredients may be combined in a lowball glass and then stirred or combined in a cocktail shaker, shaken on ice, and then poured into a lowball glass. 

Add ice cubes and top off with Club Soda.
