HAV-O Cocktail Recipe

Serves: makes 1 drink

When Oprah Winfrey began her ultimate Australian adventure on the iconic Whitsunday's Whitehaven Beach Curtis Stone greeted her with the ultimate Australian cocktail — the Hav-O! Watch the Hav-O being made.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup fresh King of Fruit Pineapple juice
  • 1 table spoon liquid from wild hibiscus flowers in syrup
  • A generous "shot" (40 mls) of Sagatiba Pure Cachaça (Cachaça is a white Brazilian sugar cane spirit made from fresh pressed sugar cane juice. Read more at the Sagatiba website - or if you can't find it, you could try using your favourite white rum)
  • Ice
  • 1 wild hibiscus flower from the jar

Method

  1. First, juice half a King of Fruit Pineapple as they are the juiciest pine around! This should give enough juice to make at least four drinks.
  2. Add the juice, hibiscus flower syrup (available at most beverage retailers) and cachaça (a Brazilian liquor) to a cocktail shaker and shake well. Pour over ice into a tall highball glass.
  3. Garnish with the hibiscus flower and serve with a straw.

Notes

This recipe featured on the official Oprah website from her trip to Australia. Mixologist Hayden Wood (aka Woody) from Woody's Liquid Kitchen created this cocktail for Oprah's Australian beach "barbie" using freshly juiced, local pineapples.
