My personal favorite non-rum Tiki drink is the Halekulani: ½ oz. Unsweetened Pineapple Juice (get the stuff in the carton, NEVER the canned stuff) ½ oz. Fresh-squeezed Lemon Juice ½ oz. Orange Juice (ideally fresh, but unpasteurized organic OJ can be found in lots of supermarkets and it's 99% as good. Failing even that, Florida's Natural is the best tasting brand.) 1½ oz. Bourbon (I like regular Maker's Mark for this) ½ Tsp. Grenadine (make your own -- pomegranate juice w. sugar -- or get Trader Tiki's Hibiscus Grenadine which is different but delish.) 1 Dash Angostura Bitters, although orange bitters would not be out of place here. Shake well with ice cubes. Strain into a glass with FRESH, cracked ice.
