Matching the tropical aesthetic of the far-out 50th state, Hawaiian alcoholic drinks integrate colorful fruits and will typically be quite sweet. Try complementing one of your creations (how about the Lava Lava?) with something savory — like a giant pretzel, for example. Or go with Kona Coffee-Tini for something a little bit off the beaten path.
