Hawaiian Eye
Subtle clove spice and lime juice sits harmoniously with a duo of rums. A much used flavour combo but still a great cocktail worthy of a fresh outing

Hey Simon, any thoughts on the Harry Yee version of the Hawaiian Eye? According to his daughter Marilyn, Harry invented his version in 1959 when the Hawaiian Eye started filming at the Shell Bar where he worked. It's also quite a bit different from this version, using grapefruit and guava juices.

Sorry, John. Not a version I've come across or have knowledge of.
