This Saturday I am hosting Tiki Kon VI, a wild tour of two Portland Tiki bars and two Home Bars of Portland-area denizens.
At Thatch, I’ll be giving a short Tiki Mixology seminar and offering thirteen classic and new Tiki beverages on our menu. This is what is in store for our group of intrepid Tiki Adventurers:
| Cobra’s Fang |
Mai Tai |
| Cuba Kula |
Miehana |
| Darker Magic |
Navy Grog |
| Fog Cutter |
Nui Nui |
| Happy Hoti |
Penang Afrididi #1 |
| Jet Pilot |
QB Cooler |
| Lei Lani Volcano |
The weather should be in the middle 90s and sunny. Our last stop will be a home bar with a pool. I think by that time, I will be just about ready to immediately jump in.

Here’s a sketch of something I’m working on – I’d love notes, opinions and ideas about it!
1 oz fresh lime juice
1 oz coffee syrup
1 oz unsweetened pineapple juice
2 oz Coruba
1 oz 5-star Rhum Barbancourt
dash Herbsaint
Shake with crushed ice and pour into small goblet or large snifter glass. Garnish with lime and pineapple wedge.
It’s dark and mysterious with a hint of bright flavors. That’s the flavor profile I was going for, at least. I am intrigued with how the pineapple’s flavor is modified in the Penang Afrididi (Sippin’ Safari): All the middle round flavours are enhanced. I wanted to meld that middle aspect of the pineapple with the coffee notes of the Mai-Kai’s Dark Magic. Give ‘er a go, see what you think!
