The Bahooka drink numbering system has remained faithful all these years. The numbers on the old menu correspond to those on the new, although some are missing. I was told the other night that the reason they removed some drinks was because of the lack of availability (or the high cost) of some ingredients.

In case you are wondering, these are the "Lost" Bahooka drinks:

Bahooka's Own Tabu (not numbered)

3 The Hellion
9 Hau-A-Guava
18 Wahine-Lei
21 Surfs Up
28 Green Lagoon
30 Leilani Punch
35 Tapa
41 Jolly Rogers
41A Tiki Demon
43 Moo Goo (Banana Cow)
44 Pearl Bay
45 Hula Hopper
46 Coffee Grog
47 Hot Buttered Rum
48 Creme and Kona
53 Harpoon Bowl for 4
54 Blue Hawaii Bowl for 4
55 Sadie Thompson Bowl for 4
56 Honey Bowl for 4
57 Mai-Tai Bowl for 4
57B Scorpion Bowl for 4

Of these, the Bahooka's Tabu is probably what comes in the #52 "Bahooka Bowl" and the cocktails in the Bowls for 4 (#53-57B) are all available in smaller portions. So, there are really only 15 Lost Drinks:

3 The Hellion
9 Hau-A-Guava
18 Wahine-Lei
21 Surfs Up
28 Green Lagoon
30 Leilani Punch
35 Tapa
41 Jolly Rogers
41A Tiki Demon
43 Moo Goo (Banana Cow) was replaced by a Strawberry Colada
44 Pearl Bay
45 Hula Hopper
46 Coffee Grog
47 Hot Buttered Rum
48 Creme and Kona
