To celebrate Honolulu Pride Month, Hideout Waikiki (2299 Kuhio Ave.) is offering a specialty drink called “La La Land” ($16) that’s available for all of October. The cocktail is mixed with Fid Street Gin, lavender syrup, lemon and bubbles. It’s then topped with edible glitter to add some extra shine.
To show support for the LGBTQ+ community, Hideout will be donating a portion of the proceeds from this cocktail to Hawaii Health & Harm Reduction Center, whose mission is to help fight and combat the stigma of homelessness, HIV, poverty and mental illness.
