Huell Howser is not tiki, even if he did visit Oceanic Arts. But I did discover Huell through tiki, thanks to things like digitiki's Quiet Village Podcast and PolynesianPop's Desert Oasis Room Podcast. So here's a tribute drink.

It's a Mule variation inspired by Huell's Mule Cam at 3:23 in this episode about Yosemite's Firefall. The gold rum is an obvious allusion to California's Gold, but if you can use gold Cuban rum, all the better to commemorate Huell's visit to Havana; the vodka recalls his trips to Russia, and the Cointreau and garnish bring in that classic California fruit, the orange.
