Aloha from The Hawaiian Village and the Torrid Story of Fassionola

Presented by Gregorio Pantoja, first join us on the shores of Waikiki at the Hawaiian Village in the 1950s-60s, while enjoying tropical cocktails as created and served by Harry Yee. Then sit back with Fassionola cocktails, enjoy the fruits of our detective work, and an illustrated story of mixology’s most mysterious ingredient – Passionola – now known as “fassionola". Welcome cocktail included. Gregorio Pantoja is a co-author, Professor of History, Founder of The Kon-Tig Tiki Bar (pending non-profit), and philanthropist, who has also consulted and appeared in documentaries serving communities. Doc Parks is a renowned mixologist, who has established some of the world's top tiki bars such as Pagan Idol, Zombie Village, and Wilfred's, and is the in-house mixologist for the Passionola Legacy Syrup based on the original 1930's recipe.
