After building a successful business selling crystal clear ice cubes for cocktails, bartender Tyler Yafuso continues to elevate the home bar experience with a collection of sustainably inclined drink mixers that use citrus and excess produce from local farms such as Mahi Pono on Maui.
The Pau Hana Co. debuted three premium drink mixers at this summer’s Made in Hawai‘i Festival, each blended to pair up with liquors and spirits. There’s li hing lemon, a versatile base with just three ingredients and a strong lemon overtone that works best with vodka or tequila. The kick of the liliko‘i lime and Hawaiian chile pepper mix is a perfect match for smoky mezcal, while the sweetness in the pineapple lemongrass lime lends a comforting base for Scotch whisky and plays well with grassy white rum or the botanicals of gin.
Since the $15 mixers have no alcohol themselves, they’re also great starting points for mocktails. Each bottle makes three to four drinks.
