A Rising Star Behind the Bar: Duke Sneed’s First Morning Show Appearance
The morning show wasn’t just about the food—it was also a milestone moment for our young bartender, Duke Sneed. It was his first time representing Tiki’s Grill & Bar on air, and he absolutely crushed it.
Duke showcased one of our newest fall cocktails, a drink that perfectly captures the cozy flavors of the season while still keeping things tropical.
Caramel Apple Spiced Sour
2 oz Kōloa Kauaʻi Spice Rum
2.5 oz apple juice
1 oz Caramel syrup
.75 oz lemon juice
1 fresh egg white
Method: Combine all ingredients in a shaker tin. Froth with a frother, then dry-shake. Shake with ice and pour into a saloon double old-fashioned glass. Grate fresh cinnamon over the top as the garnish.
Made with local rum from Kaua‘i, this cocktail balances caramel, apple, warm spices, and bright citrus. And the best part? It can be made full strength or as a zero-proof mocktail—perfect for families, designated drivers, or anyone looking to enjoy festive flavors without the alcohol.
His enthusiasm, creativity, and on-camera ease made it clear: we’ll be seeing a lot more of Duke in future Tiki’s segments.
