Today it is the Kamehameha Day in Hawaii and so to celebrate - here`s a favorite again, Kamehameha Rum Punch.
This interesting drink recipe is from Sippin`Safari and originates from the Hotel King Kamehameha in Kona, Hawaii, as the origin of the drink around 1960. The reason i post it again is that today its [...]

More blue drinks?

The next drink from Grog Log is also a Beachcomber concoction named Beachcomber´s Punch. At first sight the recipe looks pleasant and uncomplicated and that`s exactly how i find this tiki drink.
