'2010: A Cocktail Odyssey - The Hukilau Room Crawl' and 'Master Mixologist Cocktail Challenge'

Let the awe and mystery of a journey unlike any other begin. The 2010 Hukilau Room Crawl promises to be the ultimate trip into the world of tropical drinks, exotic cocktails, and otherworldly decor.

Revelers at the ninth annual Polynesian Pop festival will gather in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., on Thursday, June 10, for the return of the Hukilau Room Crawl. The Room Crawl gives participants at the most intimate Tiki festival in the world unprecedented hands-on access to the burgeoning world of retro cocktails and interior design. The Bahia Cabana Beach Resort, host of The Hukilau's opening night Kickoff Party, promises to be the launching pad of the Tiki revivalist movement as movers and (cocktail) shakers gather and embark on an odyssey to sample libations, enjoy live music and meet friends old and new over the course of the evening's events.

This year's Crawl, '2010: A Cocktail Odyssey - The Hukilau Room Crawl' takes the festivities to the next dimension in revelry. This year's theme, inspired by the classic Kubrick film and its sequel, gives room hosts an opportunity to show off their mixology skills, along with their interior design abilities by decking out their rooms in their individual interpretations of Atomic/Tiki/Space Age decor.

Room parties will be scheduled throughout the evening with room hosts featuring sponsor rums and ingredients competing for prizes including 'Best Room Decor' and 'Best Cocktail Creation.'

The evening culminates with the 'Master Mixologist Cocktail Challenge', a Food Network-inspired mixology contest featuring secret ingredients, renowned judges and high-octane fanfare as entrants compete for the evening's Grand Prize. Participants will race the clock to create a unique signature tropical drink using sponsor rums and pre-determined exotic ingredients to determine who has what it takes to be crowned the first 'Hukilau Master Mixologist'.
