Got the wintertime blues? How about this taste o’ tiki-tropical to take them away? Yes, time for our second giveaway of the new year: Enter for a chance to win this special, limited-edition tiki mug — based on an actual tiki within the Molokai Bar at the Mai Kai — created by Danny Gallardo aka Tiki Diablo — the same super-talented artist who designed the Home Depot tikis and tiki bars that we frenzied over this past summer. Danny has just finished this batch of mugs. We reached out to see if he wanted to contribute one for a giveaway. And he said yes!
Description from Tiki Diablo’s website:
The Mai Kai Mug comes in three colors — Lagoon Green, Black Velvet and Tobacco Brown
It is based on a seldom seen Tiki from the Molokai Bar, located in the beautiful and Historic Mai Kai Restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The tiki comes with a nautical deadeye pendant that you may borrow from him. The mug is 10 inches tall and holds about 24oz (approximately 700 ml).
133 of each color will be made. The mug retails for $75 and begins shipping February 1, 2016.

I love a good Zombie!
There’s a Hawaiian/Polynesian bar in River Grove, Illinois called the Hala Kahiki. It’s been there for AGES, and is a favorite birthday stop 🙂

Mango colada!
Mary Fryar says
My father loved a Singapore Sling. He would have enjoyed it even more from this mug. It would be a joy to have one in it and remember all the times I watched him enjoy his.
Linda Williams says
my favorite Tiki drink must have pineapple, coconut and just enough booze so you can light it on FIRE!
Drew says
I thought long and hard about what I would drink from this mug. I have to go with a Zombie.

None better than the Mai Tai!
Rare to find a classic cocktail that has Tiki origins. But there should more!!!
