The Honolulu Cocktail was one of the signature cocktails in 1930's Hollywood at the Brown Derby. The menagerie of fruits in the drink likely led to the name and create a taste and feel of the islands, even if you're in Manhattan. It is a nicely designed drink and would be a great classic choice for those who like the fruitier drinks such as those adorning many modern Martini menus.
