Shannon Mustipher's Halekulani

**Shannon Mustipher’s Halekulani** is bright, juicy, and richly layered — aged bourbon’s caramel and oak depth is lifted by citrus (lemon, orange, and pineapple) and balanced with demerara syrup’s warm sweetness and just a hint of grenadine’s soft fruit notes. A few dashes of Angostura bitters add aromatic spice and tie the flavors together into a cohesive, vibrant cocktail. Fun fact: Shannon Mustipher is a renowned spirits educator and cocktail consultant, author of *Tiki: Modern Tropical Cocktails* — the first cocktail book in over a century written by a working African‑American bartender — and a founding member of women‑centric rum and tiki communities that celebrate knowledge and creativity in cocktails.
