# Cutwater Spirits Tiki Drinks Recipes With Bali Hai Rum *By James Hills — Updated August 2020*  Cutwater Spirits is one of my favorite distillers and Bali Hai is one of my absolute favorite brunch spots in San Diego ... plus they make the most wickedly awesome Mai Tai this side of Hawaii. The folks at Cutwater Spirits came out of Ballas Point Brewing and are one of the most exciting success stories in San Diego for not only innovation with creating excellent beer and then spirits but also truly understanding marketing and hospitality. Here are some of their Tiki Drink Recipes featuring Bali Hai Rum! In fact, their new line of [Bali Hai rums](https://cutwaterspirits.com/bali-hai/) isn't just one type, but they are all inspirited by [Bali Hai Restaurant](https://www.balihairestaurant.com) in the distillery’s native San Diego (Est. 1953).  ***Cutwater Bali Hai Tiki Gold Rum:** *The Cutwater Bali Hai Tiki Gold Rum is distilled from pure cane sugar and combined with pineapple and coconut flavors to create the perfect tropical spirit. 40% ABV. ***Cutwater Bali Hai Tiki Dark:*** Cutwater Spirits combined their barrel-aged rum, aged four years, along with their white rum to bring out the buttery rich flavors of caramel, toffee, and vanilla in this Tiki spirit. 40% ABV. ### Las Vegas or Dubai - Which Is Better For A Bachelor Party If you are planning a destination bachelor party, Dubai and Las Vegas are top choices, here's which one you should pick.
