Hear ye, hear ye! The b5 media World Cocktail Celebration round up is on, and you’re invited.

From Sydney to San Francisco, and L.A. to Washington, D.C., bartenders, mixologists, and their clients will celebrate the other World Cocktail Week May 8 – 13th, a great way to bring attention to the best bars in the country and support your local watering hole.

The real-world World Cocktail Week benefits The Museum of the American Cocktail,® which will open this July in New Orleans, with a ribbon cutting ceremony on Monday July 21st.

I must say that Hawai’i is also recognized as Cocktail Central for a few reasons:

1. It’s hot out. What’s more refreshing than a foamy, fruity drink while you watch the sun set?
2. There are more delicious ingredients on the islands than you can shake a palm frond at.

My favorite? The Lava Flow. Pretty much available at any restaurant that’s worth mentioning. Or, you can just make your own. (Please blend responsibly.)

So that the rest of us can celebrate World Cocktail Week wherever we are, whenever we like, The Hawaii Traveler tips its hat to all of you with our very own (made up) concoction.

Introducing The Hula Hooch:
1 whale song
A pinch of sand
7 sunsets, (green flash optional)
1/2 tsp. vog
1 dash sunscreen
Several words you can’t pronounce, to taste.
Shake hips and mixture vigorously, until mixture resembles ocean foam. Pour into glass. Hold empty glass to ear. Do you hear the ocean?

Surf or kiteboard afterward with care. Cheers!   Now check out some of the other tasty treats at b5’s Travel and Culture channel.
