You found it!

I looked and looked for this picture in the LIFE archives but made no hits (tropical, rum, Tahitian Pearl...).

In the LIFE Picture Cookbook it's labeled Trader Vic's San Francisco...

In the wild clutter of the oriental and South Sea Images and mementos...Trader Vic's specializes in Polynesian food and drink. Favorite drinks starting with the glass in foreground and reading clockwise, are the Tahitian Pearl, coffee grog, Samoan Fog Cutter, Scorpion for four (with straws), Kamaaina (in coconut) and Mai Tai. All are made with rum.

Just found that this picture made it into the Locating Tiki thread Trader Vic's San Francisco - Cosmo Place, San Francisco, CA.
(In the LIFE Picture Cookbook the picture on the opposite page is of Ernie's in San Francisco which may be why the above photo is tagged "Ernie's".)
