HAWAIIAN MOONSHINE
Okolehao, authentic Hawaiian Spirit
A
fter extensive research
and
production,
100 proof Hawaiian
Moonshine is Dave
Flintstone's version of Okolehao,
liquor unique to the Hawaiian
Islands of the late 18th Century.
Dave's goal was to produce
an authentic Hawaiian Spirit:
smooth, strong, and pure and
simple. The original Okolehao
was a potent concoction of Ti
root and Sugar Cane, favored
by the Ali’i of old Hawaii Nei.
Hawaiian Moonshine, Fit for
Royalty!
The bottle is 750ml of
beautifully decorated stoneware,
screen-printed with the only
Hawaiian language label in the
world, and with resealable swing
tops. Hawaiian Moonshine is
excellent for creating fantastic
cocktails, and is enjoyed sipping
straight up or as the ever-popular
shooter. Just released at the end
of December 2012, available
only in Hawaii. Suggested retail
price is $33.00.
