The second Runner up of the Forbidden Island Cocktail Contest, Gantt’s Caprissima, by Craig Hermann! This drink is on the menu at Forbidden Island from now through November! This drink is a simple and simply delicious combination, the Grapefruit and Cinnamon combo is truly a Beachcomber classic. Watch out for the grapefruit though, the thinner the peel the better it’ll be. Craig also has his own writeup on the drink. Cheers to the runner up!

Nui Nui, on the Menu Feb 19th.
Originally known as the Pupule (Hawaiian for crazy), the Nui Nui was one of Don the Beachcomber's original creations in his 1930s bar in Hollywood, and seems to have been fairly exclusive to the Don the Beachcomber restaurants and other of his haunts and creations.
