For any of these drinks that are in the Grog Log, you can specifically request they be mixed that way. Also when Kelly (aka Hipahipahula) is behind the bar, try one of her original concoctions. I gotta tell ya, I'm pretty much a traditionalist when it comes to my beverages. I loves my Manhattans, Gin Martinis, Gimlets; and my Scotch and Bourbon neat. It was that way for the Tropicals too, i.e. Navy Grog, Zombie, Suffering Bastard, etc. I was never really into the Tiki Revival drinks. That changed however after having some of Kelly's new drinks. The Shaka Hula Bossa Nova and Zorroro are probably two of the BEST Tropicals I've ever enjoyed. Also you know how sometimes it's hard to tell the drinks apart at Tiki-Ti. I haven't had that problem yet with Kelly's drinks. The ones that I've had were very distinct. Here's some extras for you. On the left is Lisa Marie mixing one up Grog Log style. On the right is the Moai (I think that's Yiddish for big head) near the front entrance. I wanted to get a picture of (owner) Jeremy and Kelly but they took off to eat tacos. See you at the Tonga Hut !! :) [ Edited by: JOHN-O 2009-11-23 21:55 ]
