The halekulani hails from the house without a key lounge at the halekulani hotel, sometime back in the 1930s. The recipe was picked up and dusted off by the smugglers cove folks, and tweaked to what you see here. Its rare to see bourbon in a tiki cocktail, but it works so well here almost like a tiki-styled ward eight. Bourbon and pineapple are always a welcome pairing, and the demerara (or brown sugar) syrup does a lovely job of amplifying bourbons sweet, woody notes.
