Postcards from Hawaii

Bring the tropics home with Postcards from Hawaii – a tropical cocktail gift set of four ready-to-drink cocktails: a spicy mango Margarita, a Mai Tai-style rum cocktail, a tropical Negroni and a blue pineapple vodka cocktail. Just pour over ice for a taste of island sunshine, whatever the weather.

Award-winning mixologist Patrick Pistolesi travelled across Oahu, the “Gathering Place” of the Hawaiian islands, and turned each stop into a cocktail. From the legendary Mai Tai bars of Waikiki to the surf breaks of Sandy's and the turquoise water of Lanikai, every pouch is a postcard from paradise – packed with mango, pineapple, orange curaçao and a warming chilli kick.

Why you'll love it

What's in the box

• Waikiki – spiced Mai Tai-style rum cocktail (21.6% ABV): A spicy tribute to the Mai Tai, the Honolulu classic popularised by Trader Vic and immortalised in Elvis's Blue Hawaii. Two Santiago de Cuba rums – Carta Blanca and the aged Añejo 11 Years – meet tangy orange curaçao, sweet almond syrup and a dash of Ancho Reyes chilli for caramel and cinnamon notes with a spicy finish. Ingredients: Ron Santiago de Cuba Carta Blanca, Ron Santiago de Cuba Añejo 11 Years, Monin Orange Curaçao, Ancho Reyes, 1883 Almond Syrup, Toschi Cane Sugar Syrup, Citric Acid. Contains almond syrup – may contain almonds (nuts).
• Kahala – spicy mango Margarita (20.6% ABV): Inspired by a mango taco on Kahala's white-sand beach. Tequila Exotico Blanco carries juicy Bols Mango, while Cointreau's bitter orange mingles with the caramelised chilli of Ancho Reyes and a touch of agave to soften the heat. Serve with a slice of lime. Ingredients: Tequila Exotico Blanco, Bols Mango, Cointreau, Ancho Reyes, 1883 Agave Syrup, Citric Acid.
• Sandy – tropical Negroni (20.5% ABV): Where Italy meets Hawaii: a tropical twist on the classic Negroni, named after the surf of Sandy Beach on Oahu's south-east shore. Campari's bittersweet heart blends with Tanqueray gin botanicals, Cocchi vermouth, juicy mango and Giffard pineapple. Serve with a slice of pineapple. Ingredients: Tanqueray London Dry Gin, Cocchi Storico Vermouth (contains sulphites), Campari, Bols Mango, Giffard Caribbean Pineapple Liqueur. Contains sulphites.
• Lanikai – blue pineapple vodka cocktail (23% ABV): Lanikai means “celestial ocean”, and this bright blue signature cocktail tastes like a day on one of Oahu's most beautiful beaches. Crisp Ketel One Vodka carries tart, sweet Giffard pineapple, lifted by citrusy blue curaçao and balanced with cane sugar. Serve with a slice of pineapple. Ingredients: Ketel One Vodka, Giffard Caribbean Pineapple Liqueur, Monin Blue Curaçao, Toschi Cane Sugar Syrup, Citric Acid.
