HH Hurricane Hayward Grand Member (1 year) 16 miles from The Mai-Kai Joined: Jun 07, 2008 Posts: 1867	HH Hurricane Hayward Posted posted on Mon, Jul 3, 2023 12:45 PM FYI, the seminar descriptions are available if you click on each separate daily page ... https://www.tikioasis.com/seminars/thursday/ https://www.tikioasis.com/seminars/friday/ https://www.tikioasis.com/seminars/saturday/ https://www.tikioasis.com/seminars/sunday/ I would check those pages for updates. The Mai-Kai seminar on Saturday now includes manager Kern Mattei! The Mai-Kai is a miraculous survivor. The South Florida historic landmark endured a near-catastrophic roof collapse in late 2020 but found new owners with deep pockets and an ambitious vision to preserve it for generations to come. When the restoration of the 66-year-old Polynesian palace is complete, it will be meticulously returned to its former glory and also include millions of dollars in enhancements that respect the past and charge boldly into the future. In this multimedia presentation, embedded journalist Jim “Hurricane” Hayward of The Atomic Grog blog will take you behind the scenes at The Mai-Kai. He’ll be joined by two key members of The Mai-Kai team: Creative director “Typhoon Tommy” Allsmiller will offer unique insights into the painstaking restoration efforts, while longtime manager Kern Mattei will provide up-to-the-minute news on the renovation project, along with his unique perspective on Mai-Kai history. Just announced: Kern and I are also doing a special cocktail class on Friday! The Derby Daiquiri and Beyond: How to Create Your Own Classic The Mai-Kai's Derby Daiquiri was one of the most celebrated cocktails of the mid-century, a simple riff on the Cuban classic by master mixologist Mariano Licudine. Six decades later, it remains one of the most popular drinks on the historic restaurant's menu. It also provides a case study on how a vintage recipe can be enhanced by just a few simple tweaks, creating something new and exciting. Join The Mai-Kai's longtime manager, Kern Mattei, and cocktail blogger Jim "Hurricane" Hayward for an examination of Licudine's genius as they guide you toward creating your own signature classic.
