TEA COCKTAILS

Smoked Awapuhi

While flying to Four Seasons Hualalai might not be on everyone’s agenda, Chandra Lam Lucariello’s cocktails will certainly take you there.

Notes from Chandra Lam Lucariello, Director of Mixology at Southern Wine & Spirits of Hawaii:

“This was a more spirit forward cocktail and I wanted to highlight not only the beautiful aged rum of Pyrat XO, but also the complex smokiness of Lapsang Souchong Tea. This was also a twist on the mojito, reusing the peppermint syrup, but served over a large Lapsang Souchong ice cube, which, as it melted, added depth and complexity to the cocktail.”
