You never know what great band or special event will surprise and entertain you. With this year&#8217;s event fast approaching &#8211; it kicks off Thursday and runs through Sunday &#8211; now&#8217;s the time to scour the schedule for cool and unique happenings.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, one of the highlights took place on Thursday night, June 9, during the kickoff party at the Bahia Cabana Beach Resort. Five tropical drink mixologists faced off in the Master Mixologist Rum Barrel Challenge to see who could impress a who&#8217;s who of rum experts with their own take on the classic cocktail made famous at The Mai-Kai.<\/p>\n<p>The contest was held live on stage following the night&#8217;s musical performances and certainly lived up to its billing. It was hosted by tropical drink author and guru Jeff &#8220;Beachbum&#8221; Berry and judged by his hand-picked Rum Rat Pack, four of the most noted experts in the field. The five contestants were given 7 minutes each to prepare their creations for the judges. What ensued was a rum-soaked flurry of mixology and creativity that impressed the judges and entertained hundreds in attendance.<\/p>\n<p><A HREF=\"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/hukilau\/2011slideshow\/\" TARGET=\"new\"><B>Click here<\/B><\/A> or on the images above and below to take a look back at this action-packed contest.

Jim's roots in mid-century and retro culture go back to his childhood in the 1960s, when he tagged along with his parents to Tiki restaurants and his father's custom car shows. His experience in newspaper journalism and more than 20 years as an independent concert promoter have given him a front-row seat in the South Florida scene since the 1970s. He promoted hundreds of rock, punk, and indie concerts under the Slammie Productions banner since the early 1990s. A graduate of the University of Florida's College of Journalism and Communications in 1983, Jim was a longtime editor and web producer for The Palm Beach Post before his retirement in 2022. He earned his nickname by virtue of both his dangerous exotic drinks and his longtime position overseeing tropical weather coverage in his stormy home state. Jim now spends his time mixing cocktails, attending events and writing stories for this blog, which launched in 2011. The Atomic Grog extensively covers events, music, art, cocktails, and culture with a retro slant.\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/theatomicgrog.com\",\"http:\\\/\\\/www.facebook.com\\\/atomicgrog\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.instagram.com\\\/theatomicgrog\\\/\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.pinterest.com\\\/atomicgrog\\\/\",\"https:\\\/\\\/x.com\\\/theatomicgrog\",\"https:\\\/\\\/youtube.com\\\/@atomicgrog\"],\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.slammie.com\\\/atomicgrog\\\/blog\\\/author\\\/hurricanehayward\\\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Audio slideshow flashback: Hukilau 2011 cocktail contest was a Barrel of fun - The Atomic Grog","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/2012\/04\/16\/audio-slideshow-flashback-hukilau-2011-cocktail-contest-was-a-barrel-of-fun\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"Audio slideshow flashback: Hukilau 2011 cocktail contest was a Barrel of fun - The Atomic Grog","og_description":"The 2012 Hukilau will be held Thursday through Sunday, April 19-22, at The Mai-Kai and several Fort Lauderdale beachside hotels.

Jim's roots in mid-century and retro culture go back to his childhood in the 1960s, when he tagged along with his parents to Tiki restaurants and his father's custom car shows. His experience in newspaper journalism and more than 20 years as an independent concert promoter have given him a front-row seat in the South Florida scene since the 1970s. He promoted hundreds of rock, punk, and indie concerts under the Slammie Productions banner since the early 1990s. A graduate of the University of Florida's College of Journalism and Communications in 1983, Jim was a longtime editor and web producer for The Palm Beach Post before his retirement in 2022. He earned his nickname by virtue of both his dangerous exotic drinks and his longtime position overseeing tropical weather coverage in his stormy home state. Jim now spends his time mixing cocktails, attending events and writing stories for this blog, which launched in 2011. The Atomic Grog extensively covers events, music, art, cocktails, and culture with a retro slant.","sameAs":["https:\/\/theatomicgrog.com","http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/atomicgrog","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/theatomicgrog\/","https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/atomicgrog\/","https:\/\/x.com\/theatomicgrog","https:\/\/youtube.com\/@atomicgrog"],"url":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/author\/hurricanehayward\/"}]}},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1xHjT-TB","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3447","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3447"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3447\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3447"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3447"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3447"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
