It’s always great to see Mai-Kai tribute recipes

It’s always great to see Mai-Kai tribute recipes in the wild. Okole maluna! .... Posted @withregram • @strangelibations Another week of Mai-Kai tribute recipes from The Atomic Grog with the Special Planters Punch. As a huge fan of Jamaican rum, this one packs a, wait for it, PUNCH. Coruba, Appleton 12 and Hamilton 151 (False Idol edition) are sooooo good in my slightly altered version.
.
"Featured on the Mai-Kai's menu since the restaurant opened in 1956, the Special Planters Punch is a descendent of Don's Own Planters by Don the Beachcomber."
.
The traditional garnish calls for two red cherries surrounding a green cherry. I didn't have any green nuclear cherries so I placed one nuclear red between two Maraschino cherries.

It's about time for another #tikimugmonday flashba

It's about time for another #tikimugmonday flashback to @thehukilau year-by-year. Following a great 2015, @tikikiliki outdid herself in her final year at the helm of the event with conceptual design of nearly all of the great merch. If you are a fan of @the_maikai_restaurant and @theartistshag (like me), this was perhaps the best year. Eekum Bookum's @mulder142 was prolific, creating three special mugs: The Official 2016 Mug pays tribute to a historic tiki that still stands at The Mai-Kai. He also produced the very limited Tower Barrel Mug, which honors both the host @piersixtysix hotel's mid-century tower and The Mai-Kai's Barrel O’ Rum, along with the event's first Coconut Mug. The official 2016 pendant - carved by @crazyaltikis and produced by Perry Drake - is based on the massive Barney West carving that used to stand outside The Mai-Kai. Artwork by Shag adorns the official event program, designed by @pglejeune, along with glassware, coffee mugs, coasters and matchbooks. The Shag designs on the Zombie and Double Old Fashioned Glasses are depictions of masks found in The Mai-Kai gardens. The swizzle sticks produced by @royercorp were also designed by Shag. #tiki #tikimug #tikimugs #mugmonday #hukilau #tikiweekend #maikai #pier66 #eekumbookum #shag #crazyal #rumbarrel

Amazing carving. Great work @crazyaltikis and congrats @hiddenharborpgh ... Posted @withregram • @hiddenharborpgh Special delivery! Right on time for our fifth anniversary, it’s our newest @crazyaltikis carving, which just completed its four-week cross-country journey from Southern California. This bad boy has been in the works for years, and we’re over the moon to finally have him here. Standing 8 feet, 6 inches tall, with a towering Lono-style headdress, he’ll stand an even 10 feet tall once placed upon his pedestal in our dining room, thereby completing our “Crazy Al Gallery” of Hawaiian-style tiki carvings.This guy is special not only to us but also to Al, as he’s Al’s 250th tiki carving. Al poured his heart and his talents into this one, as befits our big five-year milestone, and we can’t wait to get him fully uncrated for you all to see very soon!📷: @shakerofspirits#tiki #tikibar #tikicarving #tikidecor #crazyal #crazyaltikis #tiki250 #crazylono #lono #lonotiki #lonocarving #hawaiiantiki #hawaiiancarving #tikibutt

For #tikimugmonday we're pulling a recent favorite

For #tikimugmonday we're pulling a recent favorite off the shelf and filling it with an appropriate cocktail. El Guiro, created by @tikidiablo for the exotica band @ixtahuele and released in the summer of 2016, is one of the most distinctive mugs in recent memory. It features a ribbed back that can be used to simulate a güiro, the Latin American percussion instrument. The stylized scraper also makes a fine swizzle stick. To fill this 24-ounce vessel, we went with the massive Rongo Bowl by @thecoloneltiki (circa 2008), which did the trick nicely (recipe at coloneltiki.com). #tiki #tikimug #mugmonday #tikidiablo #ixtahuele #homebar #hometikibar

As we wind down our taste tests of Rum Barrels and potential replacements for @the_maikai_restaurant’s long-lost dark Jamaican rums, we're happy to report several new one-rum options as well as two outstanding new blends. But it's very clear nothing beats the original rums, including this 97 proof Appleton Punch from the '70s, a successor to the original Dagger Punch. The leftovers are an added bonus. #maikai #maikairestaurant #polynesianrestaurant #tiki #rum #tikidrink #tikidrinks #tikicocktails #tikicocktail #rumbarrel #quarantiki #homebar #hometikibar #jamaicanrum #appleton
