At The Hukilau finale on Sunday, June 10, we were given the rare opportunity to order the Big Bamboo ...

To the best of my knowledge, this off-menu classic from he 1950s has never been served to a large group. It was available only for those who took my Mai-Kai cocktail class and received their own personal Okole Maluna Society card. Mahalo to everyone who attended!

Swanky also treated the class to an exclusive tour of The Mai-Kai ...

Then, we were honored to have Plantation Rum mastermind Alexandre Gabriel dazzle us with an informative history of Plantation and his love affair with rum ...

Of course, Alexandre had to get a tour of the historic back bar, where he discovered several Barbados rums that caught his fancy ...

Tastings quickly ensued ...

Then it was back to The Molokai for a round of Special Planters Punches with Jason Alexander (of Tacoma Cabana and Devil's Reef fame) ...

This is why I tell people to never skip the Sunday festivities at The Hukilau!

Okole maluna!
