These were popular in Hawaii when I was there in the 80's

Thanks @JohnW. for posting a Pearl Harbor relevant recipe today! I remembered the day - my grandfather was at Pearl Harbor on the day of the bombing. He had joined the Army in the spring of 1941 and was stationed there when the bombing occurred. He spent the rest of the war in the Pacific and worked himself up to colonel by the time WWII was over.

Thanks for the cocktail recipe. I don't think I had ever had one before. many in my family were in WWII to include my Mom and Dad. I guess they were the ones who inspired my love of history. Thanks again @JohnW. for the drink. Right now only beer in the fridge. My rare drink of choice.
