The Bali Hai is one of my favorite spots. That said their Mai Tai is horrible-worse even more than the ones that I have screwed up at home when I’ve had several too many. Imho, the Paralyzing Pufferfish is one of the best drinks served there. Google “ Bali Hai Olivia paralyzing pufferfish” no quotation marks, to see an excellent video featuring the lovely Olivia Daniel (senior bartender) concocting this delicious drink.
In case you can’t get the video here’s the recipe:
1.25 oz Fugu Horchata Vodka

1.25 oz Three Sheets Barrel Aged Rum
.
50 oz Cruzan Aged 151 Proof Rum
.
50 oz Trader Vic's Passion Fruit Syrup

2 fresh squeezed lime wedges

1.50 oz pineapple juice


Garnishes: pineapple wedge and cherry
