What AreYou Drinking- Right Now? - Tiki Drinks and Food

Featuring Rhum Clement V.S.O.P., Cruzan Single Barrel, fresh lime and homemade falernum, sugar and passion fruit syrups. Not entirely happy with the Cruzan. Might be interesting to try Smith & Cross next time. Served in a 2003 Tiki Farm mug by Crazy Al, garnished with star fruit and Tales of the Cocktail spear. The Puka-Puka Punch, a Don the Beachcomber drink from the 1930s, inspired The Mai-Kai's Last Rites, which appeared on the menu from 1956 into the 1980s, when it was retired. The Last Rites has been resurrected in recent years for special events. The full story and recipes are posted here: http://www.slammie.com/atomicgrog/blog/2011/10/29/mai-kai-cocktail-review-the-classic-last-rites-returns-from-the-grave/
