I've been enthralled by tiki ever since my first tip to Hala Kahiki back in the late 90's for a work party. I got rinsed on fog cutters or zombies, I forget which. I've always had a fond (and somewhat blurry) memory of that warm fuzzy rum drunk that only tiki drinks can deliver and hanging out with new friends. I'd love to say I've been chasing the tiki dragon ever since however it actually took me a while to really get obsessed by tiki culture. 5 years ago my girlfriend bought me my first tiki mugs as a X-mas present. A buddy got me a How to throw a Tiki Party by Trader Vic book, and we threw our first party that year. That's when I was properly hooked. My collection and drinking adventures have been growing ever since. Mahalo!
