Whiskey, a status drink in Aruba
Whiskey can be drunk at any time of the year and in different forms. The choice of whiskey and the way we drink it depends on our mood, the seasons and the context.
For example, in summer, we will enjoy a chilled whiskey served in a cocktail more than one served neat at room temperature. In the summer season, we would like to quench our thirst, while, in winter, whiskey would allow us to get together and warm up.
At Hoya Lush you can learn about the different ways of serving whiskey to appreciate all its facets and enjoy it.

In the process, we make the drink last a little longer, if watered down it takes on a slightly softer profile to make it more refreshing. Without a doubt, this is a great way to dress up your whiskey and enjoy it on the hottest days at Hoya Lush.

Whiskey with coconut water
For lovers of alcoholic cocktails, you should know that coconut water goes very well with whiskey or local rum. In this recipe, we use whiskey that we mix with coconut water, lime juice, pineapple juice and a spoonful of cinnamon powder. The amount of whiskey depends on the desired alcohol concentration, but it is better to put more coconut water than alcohol, for a light drink among friends here at Hoya Lush.
