Hula Hula

As the name suggests, this is a tropical-themed drink. For some reason orange flavor is associated with Hawaii or the Pacific. More than likely this is a 1930s drink that used a commonly available fruit and triple sec to make a classic cocktail that tasted a little exotic.

Strange Monkey gin is pretty exotic too. There's a burst of fruit flavor behind the usual juniper gin flavor that reminds me of Juicy Fruit gum. I'm glad I picked this gin up!

• 2 oz. gin (Strange Monkey used)
• 1 oz. orange juice
• 1 tbsp. triple sec

Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
