Any idea when (if?) this is rescheduled?

Sorry to resurrect this. I think there's probably a newer thread but the search function is spotty.

Is the Atomic Grog gone? I went to look up a Mai Kai tribute recipe and it looks like every page is "Not Found"

Jim posted on FB that he's moving to a new host service. It will be back soon.

Whew! Glad to hear!

After a looooong pause, I hope to again update this thread with the relaunch of the Mai-Kai Cocktail Guide (see tease below).

I won't even try to get you up to speed on everything that has happened at the Mai-Kai, but suffice it to say we've been trying our best to cover every detail. Here are some key links to stories and pages on the blog that have everything you need to know ...
