Summer in a Cup Aloha
Award-winning country music superstar, best-selling cookbook author and star of the Food Network series Trisha’s Southern Kitchen, Trisha Yearwood teamed up with us to create a vibrant tropical cocktail mix, a combo of Hawaiian pineapple, orange and banana. She explains, “I fell in love with this cocktail when my band was in Hawaii playing a gig for the military. After the concert, we were lounging by the pool. I kept ordering a bright yellow drink that was so beautiful and refreshing. It was made with local pineapple juice and garnished with a small, fragrant pink orchid. I decided to create my own version and call it Aloha, which means love. That says it all: I LOVE this drink!”
