Lost Hawaiian
Sonic Has Nothing on Me
So simply put, I’m kind of basic. I LOVE the ocean water from Sonic. It’s always too sweet for me, but I love getting it. So when it was time to start thinking of light, bright, refreshing cocktails for the summer, that was the first thing that came to mind.
So I did what any sensible drunk would do. I went to Sonic, bought 3 of them, and then went to the liquor store. I made sure I got everything that I would need to make an elevated, more well balanced version. I wanted it to be better and somehow lighter, so that anyone could have 2 or 3 of them while sitting on the patio or by the pool.
So to that end, I ended up with a beautiful hurricane glass of this brilliant, crystal blue liquid that reminded me of looking in to the water off the dock in the Cayman Islands. It’s like everything that a blue hawaiian should be.
