Waialua Soda Works

I was introduced to Waialua Soda a few years ago and have been a fan ever since. I usually get the same two flavors, Root Beer and Pineapple, but I can definitely vouch for the Lilikoi flavored soda. The sodas comes in 12 oz bottles and offer a taste that is crisp, clean and refreshing. Waialua Soda is widely available in Hawaii and is also available at a few select mainland locations. You can also find it online at Pop Soda and Soda King.

“Waialua Soda Works, Inc. brings back the “experience” of drinking soda by using natural, high quality ingredients to create a refreshing and lightly carbonated gourmet soda. Down to the glass bottle, Waialua Soda Works is a source for the nostalgic soda connoisseur, and those who prefer to savor a purer beverage”

Buy Waialua Soda from Pop Soda for $1.09 a bottle.

Wailua Wheat Ale | Kona Brewing Company

If you enjoy wheat beers then I am sure that you will enjoy this limited release ale from the Kona Brewing Company. It’s infused with passion fruit but it is far from being a fruity beer. It is actually quite similar to a Pyramid Haywire Hefeweizen and it goes down just as easy.

“Swimming in a fresh water pool at the base of a cascading waterfall is what we all imagine we would find in paradise. On Maui, follow the old Hana Highway and you will find such a place – Wailua Falls. This plunging cascade of clear water is the inspiration for our Limited Release Wailua Wheat Ale. This golden, sun colored ale has a bright, citrusy flavor that comes from the tropical passion fruit we brew into each batch. Sit back, relax and enjoy paradise anytime.”

Ocean Vodka

Ocean Vodka is not your typical vodka. It’s handcrafted on Maui in small batches at the family facility in Kahului, Maui. It’s a combination of MaHaLo Deep Sea Water and organic spirits. The water used in this vodka comes from 3,000 feet below the Pacific Ocean. Ocean Vodka is 40% alcohol by volume (80 proof) and is bottled in 750ml and 50ml sizes.
