Today’s Pau Hana Friday cocktail shot is from our last culinary tour. Besides the tasting, Stephanie Krieger of Nani Moon Mead gave us an exclusive tour of her meadery, and taught us how to make a Winter Sun Margarita. It was a refreshing ending to our day-long tour.

I always learn something on these tours. Guy Higa, executive chef of the Kauai Marriott Resort, does a cooking demonstration while he makes our four-course lunch. Last time, I learned that if you boil tofu for a minute, it takes the water out. I had no idea. I always pressed it between paper towels and hand cloths! This time, I learned that to make the best fried noodles, you must take them straight from the boiling water and into a hot pan with oil. Continue Reading →

We’re all about supporting locally grown food, and that extends to beverages. We feel extremely fortunate to enjoy rum made just a few miles away, with sugar grown on Kauai, as well as Kauai spring water. Naturally, the Koloa Rum Co. is  our liquor of choice. Here at Tasting Kauai, Dan Lane is not only the photographer, but bartender. Since we had an abundance of nutritious passion fruit juice, Dan blended it with Kauai Spice rum, and came up with this refreshing drink. I like it when I can feel healthy while enjoying a cocktail! Continue Reading →
