The Lono Tiki Cocktail

Lynn Calvo, owner of Lynn’s Hula Hut in Montauk, New York, knows a thing or two about tiki cocktails. The proof? She wrote an entire book of them, Tiki with a Twist. But one of our favorite recipes is the Lono. Made with rum, hazelnut liqueur and Coco Lopez, the potent beverage is named after the Hawaiian god of fertility because, well, use your imagination.
