Updates to The Mai-Kai Cocktail Guide on The Atomic Grog - Tiki Drinks and Food

The Moonkist Coconut was tweaked to boost the richness and sweetness, which always seemed to be lacking in the "official" recipe from Esquire magazine, circa 1959. It's highly likely the recipe changed in the 55 years since that publication, and the updated version is much closer to what you'll taste today at The Mai-Kai. http://www.slammie.com/atomicgrog/blog/2011/07/12/mai-kai-cocktail-review-in-search-of-the-elusive-moonkist-coconut/ The official menu photo was also added, and I included some info (and photo) on using a Thai coconut as a drinking vessel. Also note in the new top photo that when you order the Moonkist Coconut during happy hour (or when the coconut vessel is unavailable), you may receive the drink garnished with an orchid.
