What better way to follow a great meal thanwith a blended drink in a relaxing, open setting with live musical entertainment.
At $8, The Royal Kokonut Koast Kooler is a customer favorite at The Lemongrass Grill Seafood & Bar in the Choy Village of Kapaa. Made with the rum of choice, and blended with pineapple, coconut, guava and mango, it is as tasty and even more colorful as a non-alcoholic version.
“Blended drinks are fruity, flavorful and subtle but with a bang,” said Shan Hammond, Lemongrass bartender. “Our guests really love the Kokonut Koast. It gives an illusion of a sunset or a sunrise.”
The drink menu notes that the Kokonut Koast is in part to honor Kauai’s royalty that made the Eastside their home for centuries. The abundance of coconut trees came later and provided the nickname “Royal Coconut Coast.”
The Kokonut Koast was added to the menu around two years ago and is the creation of David White, a staff manager at Lemongrass for the past decade. He creates his drinks from inspiration, followed by trial and error with ingredients using the staff as taste testers.
Another rum specialty drink on the menu is the “Wailua River Relaxer.” Vodka drinkers will like the “Polihale Passion,” and whisky lovers should try the “Sleeping Giant.”
There are also assorted daiquiri’s, chi chi’s, margaritas and piña coladas. The full bar includes a wine and beer selection along with aged Portuguese port wine and sake for after dinner.
Lemongrass is at 4-871 Kuhio Highway.
