One can dream! But the level of Polynesian pop poetry in this menu is really amazing, Popo is using ALL the elements of cocktail menu elaboration here: History and myth of cocktail origins , knowledge of different rums, spirits, and syrups, use of flowery speech, even new word creations: "Bibulation Exotica! " That's not even in the dictionary! I'm gonna steal that for my new mug and its cocktail! I wonder how influential Popo's pop poetry was...
