Blue Hawaii, Reconstructed

The Original Blue Hawaii was invented by Harry Yee, the legendary head bartender at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki in Honolulu on the island of O'ahu, Hawaii. This drink, is a wonderfully pared down reconstruction of that original drink, stripping out the citrus and keeping the base elements of the recipe. On paper this drink doesn't work...it seems to break some fundamental rules, but once you taste it, oh boy does it ever! I didn't conduct a postmortem on this drink, as writing this now I wish I had, because in a word, it is brilliant. This reconstruction comes to us from NYC Barman John de Bary, who was lucky enough to land at the legendary bar PDT before he knew which end was up and went on to run the cocktail programs for the restaurant that counted Momofoku in it's Arsenal. This drink is very much worth your consideration. Hope you guys go and make it. And yes you can use MALIBU if you want.
