Howdy tikijackalope!

My drink came in one of those brown ceramic Moai's (about 8-9 inches tall) with a wood grain look to them They are made by "Orchids of Hawaii". Nothing too unusual or exotic I'm affraid, but I'll take what I can get. Also, if you get the chance, after you have had your Mai Tai(s)at The Lava Lounge head over across the street to The Blue Velvet Lounge. It's amazing! Not Tiki, but VERY retro/space age. The unusual martini's are pricey, but they are huge and worth every penny. You won't hear any exotica, but you will hear Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. Every thing in the room is lit neon blue. If you go upstairs, you enter "The Tangerine Room" where everything is orange. It really plays tricks on your eyes when changing rooms if you've had a few. Here's a link to check it out:
