2026 Hukilau Event
The Jungle Echo Cooler Mocktail (inspired by Martin Denny)

Ingredients:

3 oz – Pineapple juice (chilled)
2 oz – Passion fruit nectar
1 oz – Coconut water
1 oz – Blue curaçao–style syrup (non‑alcoholic)
1/2 oz – Fresh lime juice
2 oz – Sparkling citrus soda (to top)

Instructions:

1. Build the base

Fill a tall tiki glass with crushed ice. Add pineapple juice, passion fruit nectar, coconut water, and lime juice.

2. Add the magic

Slowly pour the blue syrup down one side of the glass. It will swirl and create a layered ‘enchanted lagoon’ effect.

3. Awaken the room

Add a single dash of orange blossom water — this gives the drink its signature ‘singing flowers’ aroma.

4. Sparkle it up

Top with sparkling citrus soda to activate the fizz and lift the colors.

4. Garnish & serve

Crown with a pineapple frond and edible flower. Serve immediately during the opening fanfare of the Premium Broadcast.

🗿 The Enchanted Tiki Twirl Story

Long before the birds began to sing words and the flowers crooned in harmony, legend tells of a secret drink mixed by the island spirits to celebrate the dawn of enchantment. When Walt Disney unveiled the Enchanted Tiki Room on June 23, 1963, the tiki gods stirred once more – and the air shimmered with tropical magic.

Hidden behind the bamboo bar of the original attraction, a mysterious blend of pineapple, passion fruit, and coconut was said to swirl with blue lagoon light – a drink so radiant it mirrored the glow of the enchanted fountain. The aroma of orange blossoms drifted through the room, awakening the carved idols and coaxing the macaws into song.

For decades, the recipe was lost to time… until ETI RADIO rediscovered it while preparing for the 2026 Enchanted Tiki Room Opening Day Premium Broadcast. As Tiki Brian and the four famous hosts – José, Michael, Pierre, and Fritz – ready their microphones for this historic celebration, the Enchanted Tiki Twirl returns as the official drink of the evening.

Each sip captures the spirit of that first performance: the fizz of excitement, the swirl of color, the harmony of tropical flavors, and the unmistakable Disney magic that started it all.

When the broadcast begins at 4:30 PM Eastern on June 23, 2026, listeners are invited to raise their glasses of Enchanted Tiki Twirl and join the chorus – a toast to sixty‑three years of wonder, imagination, and island joy.
