At the Newport Beach Tommy Bahama’s I had a Mai Tai, a Painkiller, and I shared a navy grog with my wife. We met a “mixologist” we hadn’t met before. When he starts his shift he spreads his “kit” out like a surgeon. THe kit includes 3 black Boston shakers and various cool looking bar tending utensils. We chatted a bit-turns out he started out at a tiki bar in Colorado called “Adrift”. He seemed to know quite a bit about tiki/tropical drinks. To watch him work is nothing short of amazing. His name is Andrew Winters and he can walk the walk as well as talk the... . The drinks were outstanding-good as any I have had at “real” tiki bars and better than most places that claim to be a tiki bar. That’s saying a lot cuz there are a lot of constraints (corporate rules/policies) at bars like TB’s
Mahalo Andrew,was a pleasure!
Btw, check out “Adrift “ tiki bar , Denver Colorado on Google.

Wow, when you used the quotes it actually sounded like you were going to slam the guy/establishment.
