From Cloud to Cloud — Coconut Foam
On Maui, I discovered a new way to taste coconut: not in the curdled cloud of coconut milk, but in a light, aromatic foam floating above the drink. Back home, I recreated the coconut-lime foam, only to learn how tricky it is to store. In this post I share what makes traditional coconut cocktails unstable, how foam changes the game, and a recipe inspired by Pain in the Coconut from The Plantation House.

Lilikoi Foam: A Modern Hawaiian Classic
Maui is my paradise, and every visit brings new inspiration. This time it was cocktail foams. At Monkeypod Kitchen, the famous Mai Tai crowned with golden lilikoi honey foam showed me how something so light can transform a drink. That sip led me to explore the story behind this modern Hawaiian classic and to try making it at home. Here I share its history, my connection to Maui, and a precise recipe for silky lilikoi foam using a siphon.
