Popo really held reign at the Outrigger, I pictured a section of his cocktail menu in the BOT on page 171 Funny that Jeff wrote about him in that chapter winning "another one of those dubious cocktail competitions". We both could not fathom back then that 10 years later, Mr.Berry himself would sit in the judge's seat at many of those events! :) But in retrospect, the Outrigger's cocktail menu, beyond the award-boasting, shows a mixologist's dedication and know how of the craft which I feel compelled to share here. The illustrations are all swiped from Don's and Vic's menus, but the text is a great time capsule of the genre: This guy knew what he was doing. Do NOT look at the prices - or weep!
