KoHana Lilikoi Daiquiri Cocktail

KoHana Lilikoi Daiquiri Cocktail is a ready-to-drink bottled daiquiri from Kō Hana Distillers in Kunia, Oahu, built on the distillery’s Kea unaged white Hawaiian agricole rum and bottled at 22% ABV (44 proof) in a 375mL glass bottle. Kō Hana is a true farm-to-bottle distillery: it grows heirloom native Hawaiian sugarcane varieties — cane whose lineage traces back to the voyaging canoes of early Polynesian settlers — hand harvests it, fresh-presses the juice and distills it on the estate, agricole style. Lilikoi is the Hawaiian word for passion fruit, and here that sun-ripened fruit meets the grassy, funky, terroir-driven Kea rum in a cocktail that tastes like the islands it came from. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

Pure Hawaiian Sunshine, Ready to Pour

Most bottled cocktails start with a neutral, anonymous base spirit. This one starts with one of the most distinctive white rums in America: Kea, distilled from single varieties of heirloom Hawaiian cane that Kō Hana rescued from backyards and botanical gardens and farms itself in Kunia. That agricole backbone — grassy, bright, a little wild — is exactly what passion fruit wants beside it. The distillery pours this daiquiri in its own tasting-room cocktail flight alongside the classic lime and pineapple versions; the lilikoi is the one that tastes most like Hawaii itself.

Tasting Notes

Luscious, aromatic passion fruit up front with bright citrus and the green, grassy lift of fresh cane underneath. The tartness stays clean and refreshing rather than sweet, and the finish is smooth and tropical — the agricole funk keeps every sip interesting instead of sugary.

How to Enjoy

Shake well, chill the bottle, and pour over ice in a rocks glass with a lime wheel. It is a complete cocktail out of the bottle — no shaker, no syrup, no squeezing — and at 375mL it pours two generous serves. Stock the rest of your home bar from our spirits shelves.
