Story and flavor
The Tropical Itch is a playful Hawaiian tiki cocktail from the 1950s, bursting with bright island flavors. A mix of light and dark rum, vodka, passion fruit, citrus, and a hint of bitters is topped with sparkling club soda for a refreshing lift. Traditionally served in a hurricane glass and garnished with pineapple, cherry, and—famously—a wooden back scratcher, it captures the fun, carefree spirit of mid-century Hawaii’s cocktail culture.
