I am finally back in town, we're not sick, we're not busy, and I am LONGING for a trip to the Island. Cripes you guys, there is NO way I'm completing that menu anytime soon...or I'd be dead. Actually, it's nice to have so much to look forward to, as long as I can tear myself away from those darned PAINKILLERS!!! I assume the usual suspects will be there tomorrow?? Looking forward to it!!! xox tikivixen

I got to meet Chris, the newest mixologist at FI. Good guy good guy, he even made me a blue drink (which, like red cars and blonde girls...are bad luck). I am nearing the finish line(maybe a dozen to go). Next on the target list, a Fugu and more Grogs. Neptune's Garden Headhunter China Clipper Leilani Volcano Forbidden Island Hawaii Kai Treasure Krakatoa Sidewinder's Fang Monkeypod The Combover Saturn Classic Mai Tai Painkiller Banana Mamacow Chamborlada Island Mai Tai Captain's Grog Royal Hawaiian Coconut Kallaloo Missionary's Downfall Hurricane Boo Loo Coronado Luau Special Don's Daiquiri Some thoughts. Coronado Luau: extra yummmy. Boo Loo: ya know it is quietly strong...as in a lotta strength (Ohhh, my head). Neptune's Garden: pretty dang good. Missionary's Downfall: Well, me and the church parted ways a long time ago. Best keep it that way. Doing my part, doing my part...to support Forbidden Island, and to require a new sponsor. Oh, the mug is super cool! Super dooper extra special Arthur Fonzarelli cool. I got six* last night. midnite *By "six" I mean none, Martin wouldn't even show me the mug. Even after I promised not to come unchaperoned more than once a week, no more talking to the other customers, and no more spontaneous Karaoke.

Another Saturday night at Forbidden Island, another nice-sized crowd. Good group of folks, save the "high laugher" whom I believe we could still hear as we crossed the Bay Bridge. Saw The Jab and Mr. Smiley, a nice surprise...they don't get out much so catching them at FI is a special treat. One more tasty montage of the delicious libations available at Forbidden Island: Clockwise from top left: Pirate's Grog; Suffering Bastard; Krakatoa; Guava Daiquiri, Fugu for Two! Suffering Bastard was a pleasant surprise, very tasty. Same goes for the Fugu, not a big fan of communal/bowl drinks but this one is quite good. Only eight or so cocktails to go... midnite

Maybe she was still drunk. We hated to miss last Wednesday. Darned trip. Why does it take me a week to prepare to go out of town these days?!? Yeah, I'm so glad to hear Jab and Smiley got out for a change! Sheesh. Those guys are such shy, reclusive shut-ins it's just sad. :lol: Sorry to have missed y'all...Sat. AND Wednesday. But we will be at the Kowloon in Saugus tonight! Care to join us?!? It's not THAT far, Midnite. Jeez. tikivixen

So now there are 4 people that have finished off the menu, including drink #39. Who's next? I'm close, but it's going to take a few more visits. One visit could suffice, but I'd end up sleeping in someone's yard, clothing optional. So, maybe by end of month, Allah willing. Drink 39? I think that was the name of my second band.

El Jabbo and I are very competitive when it comes to serious stuff like drinking. Come see us duke it out tonight, live, at Forbidden Island.

MT Mai Tai Tiki Socialite Exotic Isle of Alameda Joined: Mar 21, 2004 Posts: 1438	MT Mai Tai Posted posted on Wed, Jun 14, 2006 5:10 PM That Senor Amor was indeed tasty! Also, F.I. makes a great Blue Hawaiian - it's not as complex as Neptune's Garden, but still it's great! I know that Martin doesn't like RumRunners, but that too was great. And the Manhattans are fabuloso as well. Next up, the Purple Nurple!!! :)

So that's currently unavailable...for only a short time. #40 is Sonya's Buddha's Palm #41 is Chris' Bloodlust #42 may or may not be the Senor Amor, which I invented at Vic's, so doesn't really count. But I'm glad you liked it.
