The mai tai might be your favorite beachside cocktail, but it also conveys the story of Hawaii’s agricultural past. Its main ingredient is aged, fermented and distilled using sugarcane, a valuable crop that bolstered Hawaii’s economy in the 19th century. Venture to the northernmost tip of Hawai’i Island to explore Kuleana Rum Works’s 40-some-acre sugarcane farm, then return to Mauna Lani for a private lunch and mixology class with Kuleana Rum Works’s award-winning rum.
