Mr. Bali Hai

This week, we're crafting a legendary tiki cocktail - Mr. Bali Hai.

This storied cocktail, synonymous with the Bali Hai Restaurant, was shaken into existence shortly after the establishment opened its doors in 1954, nestled on the serene northern end of Shelter Island in San Diego, CA.

Enjoy the perfect harmony of rums, coffee liqueur, pineapple, lemon, and just the right amount of sweetness.
