Kua ‘Aina Carnaby

Kua ‘Aina’s first tasting collab with fellow Hawaii inspired spirit brand, Aloha65 earlier this month was a great opportunity for me to sample some of the Kua ‘Aina Christmas specials on the menu including; the Lava-Grilled Christmas Burger consisting of with beef burger, sage & onion mayo, bacon, cranberry sauce, and brie. Substitute the beef burger for poultry and you have the Grilled Turkey Breast Burger, or make it veggie-friendly with a juicy Grilled Portobello Mushroom burger.

And it goes without saying, wash it down with a refreshing cocktail of Aloha65 – or go bold with shots of it! BOOK HERE!
