Laka Lono Rum Club, 10/6/24

Can't rave enough about Laka Lono. Great decor, and ohhh the drinks! I threw the bartender my favorite curveball when I find a really good one and the place is not crowded: "I'm going to give you the name of a cocktail that does not exist and I'd like you to make a cocktail that should be called Greater Than the Sum of It's Parts, meaning that if you looked at the ist of ingredients you'd say that would never work, but because you are so good at what you do, it will work." He made me a killer cocktail that featured rum, passionfruit, banana liquor, and Malort. Impossible, inconceivable, but great!
