palieka

Palieka is a cocktail that originated in Hawaii, typically made with inexpensive whiskey, Coca-Cola, and lime juice. The drink is likely a variation of the classic bourbon and Coke, adapted to use local ingredients.

Another version of the Palieka uses dark rum instead of whiskey. The cocktail's popularity may be linked to the fact that aged rum and Coke is an attractive alternative to more expensive whiskey-based cocktails.

In recent years, there have been various attempts to modernize the Palieka cocktail, involving premium spirits and different flavor combinations. However, the traditional recipe of Palieka is typically served with the aforementioned inexpensive whiskey, Coca-Cola, and fresh lime juice.
