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.

After reading about all those great Tiki drinks, I think Banana Quick with a double shot of Coconut rum and pineapple pieces with marachino cherries for decoration on the side sounds delicious!
Hank says
Mai Tai’s from the Tonga Room in S F taste great while watching the inhouse rainstorm.
Amber says
I think this groovy mug would make any drink taste better.

So awesome! I don’t know if a rum runner is considered a tiki drink, but that’s what I get when I go to that place in ft. Lauderdale. Love me some tiki!
