We set sail for SF tomorrow! So excited. I belive the one thing we never touched on is what drinks I absolutely can't miss. Assuming the list below is my bar itinerary, what are the one or two mandatory cocktails from each that I'd be a fool to return home without trying? I assuming the rum barrel at SC is pretty special since that's the one recipe Martin wouldn't reveal in the book.

-Smuggler's Cover
-Pagan Idol
-Trader Vic's
-Forbidden Island
-Tonga Room
-Whitechappel

And thanks Jen for the tips above.

Smuggler's Cove - my favorites are the Pampanito, Port Royal, Kona Cocktail, and Puka Punch. However, I haven't had some of the ones that were recently added to the menu since I moved away. Really, there have only been 2-3 drinks I've had there that just weren't my cup of tea, so you're highly likely to get a winner no matter what you choose.
Trader Vic's - Have the 1944 Mai Tai, just for history's sake. Also have the Navy Grog because it's amazing.
Tonga Room - Last time I was there they still had a Martin Cate drink on the menu. It's the Smuggler's Gold Punch, or something like that. That's your safest bet if it's still on the menu.
Whitechapel - Narc Angel should be your first choice.
