Maui Wowi
Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.56 / 5
The Maui Wowi is a tropical cocktail that captures the essence of island flavors in a hurricane glass. Its base is coconut rum, which imparts a sweet, nutty character, reminiscent of breezy palms and sun-kissed coasts. The cocktail is then generously blended with pineapple and orange juices, creating a vibrant fusion of citrus and tropical notes, while melon liqueur adds a subtle, fruity undertone that complements the primary flavors. The inclusion of grenadine can give it a splash of color, evoking the hues of a Hawaiian sunset. The result is a refreshingly sweet and fruity cocktail that embodies the laid-back, tropical vibe of Maui, making it a delightful choice for those afternoons or evenings when you want to be whisked away to a beachside paradise.

What is the ideal way to serve a Maui Wowi?

Garnishing tips icon

What garnishes work well with a Maui Wowi?

Tropical fruits such as a slice of pineapple, an orange wheel, or a cherry are excellent garnishes for a Maui Wowi. These add to the visual appeal and enhance the cocktail’s tropical vibe. A small umbrella or a colorful straw can also add to the festive look.

Occasion suitability icon

For what occasions is a Maui Wowi most suitable?

A Maui Wowi is perfect for summer parties, beach gatherings, or any event with a tropical or Hawaiian theme. Its refreshing and fruity taste makes it an excellent choice for relaxing on a hot day or during a festive celebration.

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I substitute any ingredients in a Maui Wowi if I don’t have everything on hand?

Yes, you can make substitutions in a Maui Wowi while keeping the tropical essence intact. If coconut rum is unavailable, try using white rum with a splash of coconut water or syrup. No melon liqueur? Opt for another fruity liqueur that complements the tropical profile, like peach or passion fruit liqueur.
