Found an old Dresden Room matchbook that dates from about 1960 when Carl & Sara Ferraro were the second owners of the establishment. Not Tiki as such, but it's clear that Tiki's cocktail roots had it's influence at the bar. It was Ray Buhen who opened the bar at the Dresden in the early 50's and made the delicious "Blood & Sand" cocktail for the masses to enjoy.
Nearly 60 years later, tweaked just slightly with tequila, you can still order one from Mike, Mike Jr. or Mark Buhen just down the the road a bit at the TI. Let the chant begin... TORO! TORO! |
