SPOOKY SIPS WITH Kō HANA RUM

You may have heard about (and hopefully tried!) the new fall cocktails at Mahina & Sun’s, but as Halloween creeps up, you’ll find two more macabre must-haves on the menu. The new seriously spooky sips available at the Surfjack/Mahina & Sun’s were created in partnership with Kō Hana Rum.

Kō Hana’s farm-to-bottle Hawaiian rum is made from 34 varieties of heirloom sugar canes that have been hand-harvested, lovingly pressed into juice and distilled to pure perfection. The Hawaii-based distillery, nestled against the mountains of Oahu in Kunia, offers tours and tastings, but you can experience the versatility of the white rum, Kea, right here at our swell little spot in Waikiki.

Below are two masterfully mixed cocktails, aptly dubbed the Black List, using Kea and unique ingredients like cuttlefish ink and activated charcoal to create a jet-black beverage inspired by the season.
