Dragon Goddess Tiki Cocktail

Hawaiian natives worshiped carved wood or stone images of Polynesians with supernatural powers known as Tiki Gods. The mythological history of natives and the fun of sharing cultural traditions is part of Hawaiian tiki cocktail culture. This refreshing, simple, four ingredient ice cold drink is an elevated, bubbling, unblended piña colada. Kōloa Kaua'i Coconut Rum, freshly squeezed pineapple juice, and a bottle of not-too-expensive bubbly make for a quality luau-inspired pop-up tiki party. Serve in an artisanally-forged copper tiki god vessel, and visions of tropical paradise, sand, surf, coconuts, driftwood, and island sunshine may appear as a rum-invoked mirage.
