History

Sweet and strong. Vic claimed, "One sip and you may see a Menehune."

This recipe was adapted from Victor Bergeron's 1947-72 publication, Trader Vic's Bartender's Guide. It is said that one cannot perceive a menehune without first imbibing Menehune Juice. Therefore, partake.

Add the remaining ingredients and sufficient shaved ice to fill the glass. Perform a hand shake. Garnish with a spent lime shell, fresh mint, and a menehune.
