Last night, we had our very first tiki party! I believe it was a first for our guests, too. It was also my first attempt at bartending, although I limited it to a few drinks. (If someone wanted rum and coke, I let them go at it. I just didn't vwant to be stuck at the bar all evening.) I had made batter for hot buttered rum earlier in the day, and I served those with the Kraken. It was part of a "gift set" that included a pretty cool mug for $23. It was very good with ginger beer and cokes, too. Our feature drink was Barbados Rum Punch (SC recipe) using El Dorado 5. We finished off the evening with something lighter...Strawberry Mules. Overall, everyone loved the drinks and decor and I'd call it a success. :)
