    Just found this channel. Awesome video. I am a big fan. I have seen the Hula Girls a few times. I have been to the Hukilau 9 years. Many times to the Mai Kai. Had cocktails in the Molokai bar with Jim Hurricane Hayward. Martin Cate bought me a Rum Barrell in the Molokai bar. Great memories. Live in upstate NY land of sometime ice and snow and no Tiki.

    Yes, it seems that if you love classic tiki, it's only a matter of time before your heart is broken by loss. I've certainly been missing Tiki Central (which, like the Mai Kai, I hold out hope will return soon) , so it's nice to see Hurricane Hayward.

    "Everything about Tiki drinks is a PAIN IN THE ASS" This right here, my friends, is how you know you have the passion. I waited 4 weeks making my own allspice dram because the locals, which I love to support, had none. And then the gardenia mix. Just for a Polynesian Pearl Diver. Who the fk makes ghee at home for a single drink? Tiki nerds. And we love it. Thanks for the "Mai Tai" content Spike.

    It's a bit unfortunate that Bacardi has the reputation it does, as they do make some good rums. I usually will use Bacardi 8 when making a daiquiri, and it really works well in that, at least in my opinion.

    Hi Spike, new to your channel and we love it! I recently aquired a Skull mug from the now defunct Hawaii Kai which was a NY tiki bar. They had a drink called "Goddess of Love" which they served in the skull mug. In fact some of the Skull mugs say Hawaii Kai and some say Goddess of Love. I found a picture of the drink and it seems it's a flaming one with a slice of citrus fruit floating in it. Any chance you could have a go at it? Mahalo, Peter

Love the Ancient Mariner, Mai Tai, Hurricane and the very busy Dead Reckoning, Samoan Typhoon and J-Bird Swizzle. (Last 3 highly tweaked and more complex than originals.) Painkiller and such purdy good - tweaked with the addition of lime juice.
