"I know that I'd sure be trying the Pinky-Poo if I could be there!!!!!!!!"

Sure, from a thousand miles away it's pretty easy making such proclamations. Well, I can tell you, I was there, and I drank (counting on fingers) one, two, carry the two...accounting for gravity, three...Jesus, Pigs!...way too many Pinky Pooh's.

It's not a bad drink, no. It's just not, well, a good drink.

In my 1972 Trader Vic's bartender guide the Pinky Pooh is not listed, but it is mentioned as a drink served in the Tahitian Cup (see Honi Honi). It should have stayed there, should have let sleeping porcine lie. But nooooo, I had to go have one, two...I see a herd of swines. Jesus, pigs!

Any who, it was still a great night at Emeryville. Kudos and thanks to the whole Vic's crew, especially John. And, of course, everybody's favorite, Judy. Be there Friday, to hear one last time, "Happy Hour...OVER!"

Serpentine, Shel...Serpentine!
