What better way to say “I can’t afford a trip to Hawaii” than with this sharp, tart twist on the Blue Hawaii. When I first tried the Blue Hawaii I liked it, but I felt like it was too heavy on the pineapple and not nearly enough rum. So I dialed back the pineapple and got rid of the vodka in favor of something with more flavor. As far as the rum is concerned I kept to the white rum concept with El Dorado 3 and Plantation 3 Stars, but on a whim, I tried the Appleton Estate Signature Blend, a rum with a “louder” flavor. In my opinion, it worked perfectly.
