Signature drinks include the Kanaloa Kula, a heady mixture of Mahiki Rum, Lemon, Star Anise, Lime Sugar, Pomegranate juice and Vintage Spanish Sparkling Wine. Kanaloa’s sharing cocktails include Octopus Punch, which serves eight people and features Eldorado 12 Guyanese Rum, Nui Nui Spiced Syrup, Fresh Lemon, and Black Tea served in a bespoke Octopus punch bowl.
The bar’s interior reflects a relaxed summer atmosphere with carved wooden pillars, bamboo, and traditional tiki-styled areas alongside tropical leaf patterned walls and rustic wooden planking.
