Hope that this is the proper thread. I have many double old fashions that I serve my Mai Tai’s in. Here are just a few -I’d like to see what you have. Like mug collecting , collecting bar ware quickly escalates. I had to build a cabinet to house mine and of course I quickly outgrew it. Trader Vic’s 80th anniversary and Billy’s on the Beach Frankie’s, Rare Don the Beachcomber, International Tiki Marketplace, Misc. and a Venticki Here’ the cabinet I made-almost all from Scraps Just a bunch of junk collecting dust in my shed.The hardware is all cast-offs Top and door open independently. Hardware. Hinges are aluminium but plenty strong for this application. I bought some mechanic’s tool box matting which keeps the glassware from sliding about when I roll the cabinet around my bar. I needed a tight square fit to help keep the dust out. Top works well as a staging area when I’m working at a crowded bartop. Tanks to TikiSkip for the idea on posting The Mai Tai Glass [ Edited by: nui 'umi 'umi 2016-11-23 19:53 ] |

My "collection", if you can call it that, consists of these 3 glasses, plus a set of the ubiquitous Trader Vic glasses. I'd love to have a few more, but just don't run into them all that often in the wild. |

I really love mai tai glasses! I only have a few, a pair from the ITMP thanks to my friend David :) and Trader Vic ones from when I went to Emeryville. Sadly, I haven't had a mai tai in a while, something I need to rectify soon. Thanks for the inspiration.... |

Off to a great start nui 'umi 'umi. When taking pictures of these glasses you need to put the White paper in them so we can see the cool graphics. One more thing that would be good is a post of the guy who makes these glasses custom for peoples home bar. And hey if ya got some to sell post them too. I will post some shots of mine. º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤ºº¤ø,¸¸,:MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM TIKISKIP!!:º¤ø,¸¸ø¤ºº¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º |

Your cabinet is cool nui 'umi 'umi, rust on hinges and all metal may look good. Hey here are some of my glasses to add. The Rincon Room is the coolest, it is a home bar. Hukilau Glasses are great as well these are glasses you get at the Hukilau event and they have a new design each year. |

I rely pretty exclusively on DOFs from The Hukilau for serving Mai-Tais. I have 2 each of the Beachbum Berry and Kevin Kidney "gold ink" ones, and 4 each of the burgundy/teal and green/brown ones. (One year they had ones with both the Hukilau and Mai Kai logos...I'm hunting for a set.) |

I love these glasses. I bought 2 at Tiki Oasis (2011, I think?) in blue and orange and could KICK MYSLEF for not buying more! I believe Gene from Culture Cove made them. They are May GO TO Mai tai glass. Well, were...I recently broke the blue glass and a piece of my heart as well. I would love to buy multiples now but they are long since gone. :( |

I was not that keen on the Hele Pele dof. I am looking forward to the memories that they will evoke. Had a great time at Hale Pele. The other on e pictured is from a thrift in Alexandria Va. It’s one of two I paid half a buck each. I like the vintage look. |
