Cocktail with a cause

1 Hotel Hanalei Bay will make its debut on Kauai’s north shore on Feb. 15, and to commemorate the occasion, it presents its “182 Seconds” cocktail. Based on the time it takes for the sun to set once it fully touches water, the beverage boasts Appleton eight-year rum, charred pineapple, baking spice, vanilla and Jamaica No. 1 bitters. (Fun fact: Appleton is spearheaded by the rum world’s first female master blender and distiller, Joy Spence.)

For each libation sold, $1 will be donated to The Waipa Foundation (waipafoundation.org), a nonprofit that stewards one of the watersheds feeding into Hanalei Bay.
