That's really cool to know that, Jim. I do believe I had all of the most popular drinks at some point.

On Saturday night, I took some friends of ours on a journey of cocktails from the Mai Kai, with a little help from The Atomic Grog Blog.

First, all of the syrups and liqueurs that I had to make for the drinks:

Our first drink of the night was Planter's Punch:

I'm a fan of the Special Planters Punch myself, so I snuck in some premium rums. It was delicious.

Second drink was the Mara-Amu. Served in the approrpiate glassware for my friends, and in Eekum Bookum mugs that we got at Hukilau:

Our third drink was the Hidden Pearl (tribute recipe). I didn't have the time, or wherewithal to do a proper ice shell, so this one's a shot in the blender.

And our last drink of the night, served in appropriate vessels, was The Black Magic. The womenfolk were too boozy at that point to take more than a sip of this, which meant that we had to finish their drink. About half way through my second black magic (which was actually my 6th drink of the night) I started to see double. I knew it was time to go to bed at that point. They're served in wonderful Hukilau snifters. (Thanks for bringing them back!)

Boy, what an evening!
