Just got back from a lovely afternoon with my beloved where we stopped by the HulaHula in Gulfport and picked up a couple of cool items for The Lagoon. (Thanks Kiliki for the intro to Annette through the mail)

We ended up at the Bahi Hut, a lovely little dive with a wall sized window that overlooks a tiny courtyard with bamboo, a huge banyan-like ficus and several palms surrounding a Tiki that you can see with the above link to JT's review pages.

We tried the house specials and although strong, they were trash. Reminiscent of the disgusting elixers I had Auntie pour me at Tahiti Nui in Kauai. Bluebird Pineapple juice and the cheapest rum imaginable.

I had to drink 5 just to make sure they weren't good. At about the 3rd they started tasting a lot better. But in reality, well - you know.

Sneaky Tiki was the main event. The Mai Tai's were typical facsimiles.

At least they were strong drinks and it was worth the trip just for the atmosphere and the big handful of napkins I coerced from the bartender. I'll go back with a bottle of orgeat, curacao, some limes and the ghost of Vic Bergeron in tow.

Thanks for the tip, Jab!
