Tropical Fruity

El Hawaiian Cocktail es un cóctel tropical de ginebra que combina ginebra con triple sec y una cucharada de jugo de piña, agitado y servido en una copa de cóctel. El jugo de piña añade una sutil dulzura tropical a la clásica combinación de ginebra y licor de naranja, y el efecto general tiende un puente entre el mundo botánico de la ginebra y los sabores afrutados y tropicales. Es un cóctel corto conciso y bien equilibrado.

History & Origins

The Hawaiian Cocktail belongs to a class of mid-20th-century American cocktails that incorporated tropical fruit flavors into the British gin tradition, reflecting the post-WWII American fascination with Hawaiian and Polynesian culture that spawned the tiki movement. The specific recipe appears in bartending guides of the 1940s through 1960s. Its exact creator is not recorded.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: gin juniper and botanicals with sweet orange from the triple sec and a tropical pineapple note. Palate: botanical and moderately sweet with the gin's herbal complexity balanced by the orange liqueur's sweetness and the pineapple's tropical acidity. Finish: dry, botanical, and fruity with a lingering pineapple and citrus note.

Pro Tip

The pineapple juice is measured in tablespoons rather than ounces, so use a light hand — just enough to add a tropical accent to the gin without overwhelming its botanical character.
