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.

This would go good in my tiki room collection with the rest of my mugs
Lauren says
I’m allergic to coconut and nuts so there’s a lot of tiki drinks I can’t enjoy but I’ll tell you what… My husband found one called a chichi that we have for breakfast drinks on occasion. It is delicious! White rum, pineapple juice, and blackberry brandy. A little Hawaii to kick off my weekend morning is the way to go. Mimosas, smimosas.

I like anything with coconut!

Current favorite is a Navy Grog, although I’m sipping on a Muddled Monk right now that is pretty tasty.

A Mai Tai. Hands down! 😉
David Kolenda says
Where to begin… With the Mai Tai, of course! Had one tonight, too! In the summer I do like a good Painkiller, though. I also make them without the rum for my kids!
