The Polynesian Cocktail is really an attempt at making a cocktail taste tropical with traditional bar ingredients. There are no native Polynesian spirits, so vodka is an acceptable base. The flavor comes from cherry brandy, which would be very rich if it wasn't for the citrus juices.
In the photo I'm paying homage to Duke
Kahanamoku, the famous Hawaiian surfer, with this necklace of shells and coaster. These ideas are loosely connected to the theme of Polynesia.
- 2 oz. vodka (Divine Clarity used)
- 1 oz. cherry brandy (Heering used)
- 1/2 oz. lemon juice
- 1/2 oz. lime juice
- lime wedge
- sugar
Rim a cocktail glass with sugar. Combine liquid ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with the lime wedge.
