How To Drink
Magnum Pi's "King Kamehameha" (5x28)
:
On this episode of How to Drink, I present a new Tiki cocktail born from a love of Magnum P.I. called “The King Kamehameha.” The original Magnum P.I. series premiered in 1980, and with it men across the world started sporting Magnum’s (Tom Selleck) iconic mustache! If you're not familiar, it's a one hour drama that follows the exploits of ex-navy-seal-turned-private-eye Thomas Magnum as he solves various crimes and mysteries on the Hawaiian Islands. He lives on the estate of the illustrious Robin Masters, a fictional author, and works for him testing the estates security. Happy Malaloween! Cheers!
King Kamehameha was born in 1735 and was the first King of a unified Hawaii, an exceptionally important figure in Hawaiian history. It's also the name of the club Magnum's friend owns and where some of the action of the show takes place. This drink takes it's name from that.
