Hey folks, here’s a look at the menu for the May 20th Tiki Tuesday at Teardrop Lounge.
Hope to see you there!
 Aku-Aku Gold CupA spicy citrus and rum concoction from Don the Beachcomber™s Aku-Aku restaurant in the Stardust Hotel, Las Vegas. |
 Beachcomber™s Rum BarrelA lovely libation of rum, tropical juices and exotic spices. This hails from Don the Beachcomber™s at the Sahara in Las Vegas. The drink is a doozey, and best shared with Ohana (close friends and family). |
 JamocaChilled Coffee and tropical rum make up this libation developed by Don the Beachcomber in the early 1930s. |
 Jet PilotA spicy sweet drink from The Luau in Beverly Hills. The Luau was owned by Steven Crane, who also owned the now defunct Kon-Tiki here in Portland. |
 Lei Lani VolcanoThis drink hails from Disney™s Polynesian Village resort. A balanced sweet and sour combination of Guava, Lime, Coconut Rum and Pineapple juice is no Mickey Mouse cocktail. |
| Mai Tai Trader Vic™s most famous creation, and easily the most recognized tiki drink in the world. This combination of aged Rum, Lime, Curacao and Orgeat put Trader Vic™s on the map. |
 Nui NuiDon the Beachcomber™s spicy classic, with Aged Rum, Orange and Lime juices, and Don™s Spices #2, a secret only recently unearthed by Jeff BeachBum Berry. |
 PainkillerPusser™s Rum is the feature in this coconut and pineapple drink. One of these to relive the pain of the work-a-day world, two to numb, a third and you might find yourself sailing the seven seas. |
 Queen™s Road CocktailGinger, gold rum and citrus make the mix for this Don the Beachcomber classic. This was once served at his Colonel™s Plantation Steakhouse, featuring a private treehouse for two. |
| Scorpion Trader Vic™s tangy mix of Orange, Lemon, Rum, Brandy and Orgeat. This drink is most famous as a bowl for four, but works quite well when served for one. |
| Suffering Bastard From the Sheperd™s Hotel in Cairo, where a poor, suffering barsteward would put this together for the British officers who frequented the establishment. It™s a tart and rich combination of Gin, Bourbon, Lime and Teardrop Lounge™s own Ginger Beer. |
 ZombieThe most infamous of all Don the Beachcomber™s creations, any more than two and you™ll be joining the living dead with this combination of tropical juices, passion fruit, and plenty of dark and light rums. |

Trader Vic's Aku Aku
The word Aku-Aku can refer to a few things, one being the movement of a heavy flat bottomed object, and the other being a spiritual guide.
Nui Nui, on the Menu Feb 19th.
Originally known as the Pupule (Hawaiian for crazy), the Nui Nui was one of Don the Beachcomber's original creations in his 1930s bar in Hollywood, and seems to have been fairly exclusive to the Don the Beachcomber restaurants and other of his haunts and creations.
Pearl Diver's Punch, on the Menu Feb 19th
Another one, already .
