Travel Tuesday: Cachaca Samba Cocktail from Halekulani in Waikiki
June 05, 2012Halekulani, Waikiki’s legendary beachfront resort hotel, has created several new summer cocktails. This Hawaiian recipe creation for Cachaca Samba is as summery, beautiful, and unique as it gets. Cachaca is a liqour made of fermented sugarcane juice. It is one of the most popular distilled alcohol beverages in Brazil.
Along with Halekulani’s signature Mai Tai, which was invented and still served at the hotel, these summertime concoctions are available at the award-winning Orchids restaurant, by the pool and of course, while enjoying traditional Hawaiian entertainment at Halekulani’s famed outdoor gathering spot House Without a Key, which is immortalized in a 1925 Charlie Chan novel. I want one, don’t you? If you’re headed to Waikiki Hawaii, you must check this out.

So beautiful! And any drink that's garnished with an orchid is pretty much a must-try for me!

What a gorgeous cocktail! I'm sure it would taste fantastic anywhere, but I can't help but think it would taste even better on the shores of Hawaii.
