Here’s the second in our Pau Hana Friday Hawaii Cocktails Series from Tim Rita, mixologist at the Halekulani Hotel in Waikiki. This is part of a flight of three concoctions he created this summer in honor of races (the Tour De France drinks are another topic) in Hawaii – in particular, the tongue-in-cheek Tin Man Triathlon. This drink has a Southern drawl, a nice savory herb twist, and you can never go wrong with blueberries (in Blue Hawaii!).

“Thyme to Roll”

1.5 oz. Makers Mark (infused with blueberries)
.5 oz. Orange curacao
2 sprigs of thyme
6 blueberries
1.5 oz. Fresh Lemon and simple

Muddle fruit and thyme with syrup.
Add spirits.
Shake and double strain into a rocks glass over crushed ice.
Garnish with thyme sprig and blueberries.
