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.

Rum Dummy, cause that’s what I am after having a few of them!
Vee says
Trader Vic’s classic Mai Tai, of course.
Ariane Watkins says
Anything with a little umbrella in it! 🙂
Chris says
RumBob Square Bottle loves Mai Tai’s. Mmmmmmm.
Dawn says
My favorite is the Dr. No at Frankie’s Tiki Bar in Las Vegas. Spicy and not too sweet. We’re going back in April, yay!
Theresa says
Pina colada! Is that a tiki drink?!
Mary says
Living in the frigid north, I don’t get many opportunities for tiki drinks, but I would be more than proud to pour an ice cold Michigan craft beer into this fine mug. I would then sit next to the moai statue on my front porch and toast passers-by.

Must. Have. This. Mug! Dropped & broke my souvenir mug from the Hukilau last year – so this filled with any tiki cocktail would help to ease some of the pain! 😉 … AND it would fit in perfectly with all the vintage tiki mugs I’ve picked up at thrift stores to stock our home “Tiki-Ator” bar. After visiting the Mai Kai last year, my new favorite Tiki drink has to be their yummy “Moonkist Coconut” – although hubby prefers the “Rum Barrel” & “Jet Pilot”!
Joanna says
Mai Tai, of course!
Shannon says
Classic mai tai, originally had at Trader Vic’s and difficult to replicate.
Mollye says
I agree! Their mai tai is really good!
