With another Hulaween in the books, here are some highlights:

Some wiseguy got the idea to dress up like Don the Beachcomber ...

... and order Don's Special Daiquiri (Special Reserve Daiquiri) and Pearl Diver (Deep Sea Diver).

He then ordered a round of 151 Swizzles ...

But Hannibal Lecter horned in on the action ...

I decided it might be a good idea to stay clear of an inebriated Dr. Lecter, so I sought out the new Chief Zabu cocktail ...

Wowza, this is a very rum-forward, boozy drink that fans of 151 Demerara rum will enjoy. It has at least 3 ounces of rum, probably Lemon Hart 151, plus a dark and gold rum. I may need a few more tastes, but I hope to post a recipe at some point. I'm hoping they continue serving it at least through the film festival in November. (See link above for details)

From there, the evening became a blur. I seem to recall a giant bottle of Rum and a Mai Tai walking around carrying a bottle of Appleton 12, but it may all be a hallucination ...
