Humuhumunukunukuapua’a is a modern tropical cocktail created around 2014 by bartender Marcovaldo Dionysos at Smuggler’s Cove in San Francisco. Named after Hawaii’s state fish—the reef triggerfish, The name roughly translates from Hawaiian to “triggerfish with a snout like a pig”—the drink stands out as a rare, gin-based addition to the modern Tiki revival canon.
