We’re bringing you cocktails from some of the best bar programs in the country. This September, the spotlight is on RPM Seafood in Chicago and their Makena Daiquiri. Here’s a closer look.

Inspired by the Pago Pago, Josefina Aletky and Remy Walle built the Makena Daiquiri around Kuleana Rum Works Hōkūlei®, infused with Rare Tea Cellar Wild Thai Banana Chocolate tea and finished with ube.

Chicago-made Green Key Herbal Elixir from Wilderness Club adds herbal complexity, while crème de cacao, pineapple, lime, demerara and Bittercube Trinity Bitters bring the cocktail into balance.

The result is vibrant, tropical and beautifully layered, with the richness of Hōkūlei® at its heart. We cannot wait for you to try it.

Find the Makena Daiquiri at RPM Seafood and Kuleana Rum Shack throughout September.

What an unforgettable evening celebrating Chef Rhoda Magbitang, Filipino culinary heritage and the incredible people who bring it to life.

Kuleana Rum Works was thrilled to support Rhoda’s dinner, where June Baby NYC mixologists Darwin Pornel and Roxanne Bangalan created three spectacular cocktails featuring Kuleana Rum: Boogie at Mango, a clarified milk punch; the Buko Pandan Negroni; and a Filipino-style Carajillo Coffee cocktail served with dessert.

A huge congratulations to Chef Rhoda and the entire team behind this remarkable evening. Mahalo for inviting Kuleana Rum Works to raise a glass and be part of the celebration!

From Seattle to Hawaiʻi, this week’s Aloha Friday pour brings a little Island Soul to Kuleana Rum Shack. 🌺

Created by bartender Bryce Martin of Island Soul in Seattle, the Hibiscus Daiquiri combines Kuleana Rum Works Huihui® with fresh lime and house-made hibiscus syrup infused with clove, cinnamon and allspice.

Bright, tart and beautifully floral, with a warming layer of spice.

Try it this week at Kuleana Rum Shack on the big island or at Island Soul in Seattle.
