I can't believe I didn't respond to this thread earlier. It's been on the list of things to do to get ready for the event for forever. After Sunshine said I needed to respond here, I thought I did it right away. Anyway myself and my wife will be there. Thanks so much.

Please add

** ---> ---> HOST ROOMS STILL NEEDED! **

**We are down to the final days left before we party!

We have a open HOST spot on Friday at 5:00 and Saturday at 2:00 **

Remember you don't need to spend a fortune on your cocktail, make what you feel is a reasonable amount of dollars to spend and when it's gone it's gone. Please don't shy away from Hosting if you would like to do so. No amount of booze is too small or to big to keep us all from having a good time so please join in the fun and host a room at Tiki Caliente!

*Message me if your interested or have questions. See you soon! * :drink:

Gettin thirsty...

I'm afraid I now have flyer envy. Procrastination doesn't always pay off. Apparently.

Come join us in room 227 on Saturday from 3:30-4:00* and sample some Black River Punch.

See everyone soon!

Mahalo to all the crawlers who stopped by our room Saturday on the crawl. We appreciated your thirst and your generosity. I had a blast getting to see both familiar and new faces. Mahalo also to all the other hosts. Each cocktail I had was top-notch. I'm only sorry I missed a couple while setting up shop. And thanks to Val and my sister, who made sure the drinks were iced and garnished.

For those of you who are interested, and asked about the Black River Punch, the "road recipe" version is below.

Black River Punch
1 oz. lemon juice
1 oz. Demerara sugar syrup
0.5 oz. Falernum (recipe from Beachbum Berry Remixed)
0.25 oz. Pimento dram (recipe from Beachbum Berry Remixed)
3 oz. Appleton VX
2 oz. strong black tea

Shake lightly with ice, pour into a tall glass. Top with a splash of soda, if desired (I omit soda when making large quantities; the ice block handles the dilution). Grate fresh nutmeg over the glass.

Thanks again crawlers. Let's do it again next year!

Thank You Tiki Caliente 4 Room Hosts and Crawlers you were a smash hit!

Room decor contests have been a tiki event standard at events for years now all over the globe. The best room decoration at TC4 went to the "Flaming Tiki" Room! Special mention to the wonderful hosts, the "Zen Tiki Lounge" Fantastic job to all who decorated and set the perfect mood for all of us to enjoy.

The Cocktail Contest, Thank You to all of our Hosts! I don't remember events having a contest for best cocktail until a couple years ago, I was worried about this as I didn't want to discourage anybody from joining in the fun. In the end I believe that folks who wanted to host did host for the fun of showing their skills and throwing a great party for all of us Thank You Hosts!
Never an event such as this have I enjoyed so many well constructed cocktails what a great surprise! Congratulations to all who participated you really raised the bar for crawl Cocktails.

1st Place- Piphirho the "Manutara"
Room 117 (back door)

2nd Place- heylownine & Tiki Val the "Black River Punch"
Room 227

3rd Place- Emerald Islander served us two refreshing cocktails one Ginger based and one Elderflower based. (names to come)
Room 108

Many Mahalo's to our crawl sponsors who supplied our great gifts, they are,
