The 1930s precursor to the modern Tiki craze
In short: Before the post-WWII explosion of tropical drinks, there was the Lulu. This video explores a gin-based cocktail that captures early South Seas vibes using pineapple and lime.
Created in 1930, the Honolulu Lulu serves as an architectural ancestor to the later Tiki movement. While it predates the massive popularity of Tiki culture following World War II, its ingredients and aesthetic suggest the early foundations of that tropical style.
The drink is prepared by shaking gin with pineapple and lime juice over ice, then straining into a cocktail glass.
