The local liquor store is out of vodka, therefore, I am headed to Hawaii to buy me some Maui Ocean vodka so I can make this drink for my lovely bride. Thanks for the great recipe....yummmmm!!!
my husband and i were on vacation there a few weeks back from austin, tx. he was wearing the hopwaiian saint arnold shirt and we talked a lot about austin. you were our bartender, yes?
Yea -Aloha ya'll

Who would have expected a cocktail to be entered in a contest using basil?! I had to use an 'inferior' vodka (I suspect), but I don't think that made the 'Daydreamin' any less wonderful. What a great infusion. I love balsamic vinegar, but never expected it to show up in libations, either. Raise a glass to jimmytheseeker! Nice...
Maui Daydreamin' has all of the best ingredients a drink could have; add
the ambience of the Maui oceanfront setting and you have heaven on Earth!
I can't wait to be served a Maui Daydreamin' by the best bartender on the island.

Wow! This guy comes up with really creative and delicious cocktails! The basil really complements the strawberries well! I give it two thumbs up! Another keeper for my recipe binder!
Basil + Lemon + Strawberries . . . . What a great combination! Sounds delish!! ;o)
Mahalo for the great drink! Where do you bartend? I spend a little time down in Makena. Yeah for Whole Foods...so S______ and C_____ are not the only games in town anymore.
I'm a Bartender at Mala (Marriott, Wailea) and yes, Whole Foods has been a great addition to life on a volcanic rock
Made this the other night at work and was delicious!
