As our swell little spot pays homage to the old soul of Waikiki, Docomomo—the non-profit dedicated to the preservation of modern architecture, landscape and design—is an organization we stand behind.  Therefore, we are thrilled to celebrate the days of yesteryear for the one-night only Cocktail Club, a Waikiki bar crawl.

Join us by soaking up the tropical vibes of Waikiki and enjoy a unique cocktail experience here at Mahina & Sun’s and two other exclusive locations (Tommy Bahama and Hideout at The Laylow). Participants of this special pau hana can enter for a chance to win the grand prize: a two-night stay in the Surfjack penthouse.

(As if you really need a reason to belly up to the bar for craft cocktails and delicious dishes?)

The rules are simple: try all three restaurants’ specialty cocktail and/or food item, get your card stamped and meet back at the Surfjack for the prize drawing.

Mahina & Sun’s is featuring not one, but three, cocktails for the Docomomo symposium, and these chic sips are available to anyone who stops by between 5:30-9:30pm on September 26. Expect a floral twist on a martini, a rose and cucumber concoction, and a smoky-sweet classic with a nod to the future.

Below, Mahina & Sun’s Director of Food & Beverage Lisa Taibi breaks down these limited edition cocktails.

The Ossipoff
Pau Vodka
Fid Street Gin
Dolin Blanc Vermouth
orange blossom water
lemon/orange garnish

Our fresh and floral version of a classic martini. We’ve lightened and refined the flavor profile of the original cocktail that once served as a gentleman’s sidearm in most business functions.

The Frank Lloyd Wright
Fid Street Gin
rose liqueur
cucumber
lime juice
rose water mist/baby’s breathe garnish

Taking our journey a step further, we’ve woven the flavors of rose and cucumber to create a gin cocktail that is equally as refreshing as it is aromatic. Like a first date in the 1950s.

The Roy Kelley
Kohala rum
mezcal
Falernum
lime
spiced honey syrup

Our most modern of the series, this cocktail combines earth, smoke and a spiced sweetness that will launch your palette to the moon. It’s a classic with a look towards the future.
