Tonight’s featured Tiki Tuesday cocktail is the ‘White Cloud’ made with Coconut, Lime, Falernum, Orange Curaçao, and Gold Rum.

The White Cloud is a classic tiki cocktail closely associated with legendary bartender Mariano Licudine, who helped shape the golden age of tropical drinks after joining the famed Mai-Kai in 1956. Considered a precursor to his celebrated Moonkist Coconut, the drink reflected the evolving style of mid-century Polynesian-inspired mixology. Its legacy survived through recipes preserved by Licudine’s family and later documented by tiki historian Jeff Berry, helping reintroduce the White Cloud to modern tiki enthusiasts.

Tonight’s featured Tiki Tuesday cocktail is the Puka Puka Punch. Made with Passionfruit, Lime, Falernum, Rhum Agricole, and Gold Rum.

Created by Don The Beachcomber, circa 1937. An unpublished recipe from beachcomber employee Dick Santiago’s private notebook. This drink was probably named after The Book of Puka-Puka: A Lone Trader on a South Seas Atoll, a 1929 memoir by Robert Dean Frisbee- a genuine beachcomber who left Ohio for the Cook Islands to escape “the noisy clamor of the civilized world”

Tonight’s featured Tiki Tuesday cocktail is the Scorpion, made with Passionfruit, Lime, Orgeat, Orange, Apple Brandy, and Jamaican Rum.

The Scorpion cocktail originated at Trader Vic’s in the 1940s as a large-format punch inspired by a Hawaiian recipe. Initially served as the communal Scorpion Bowl, it featured rum, brandy, orange juice, lime juice, orgeat syrup, and wine. By the 1950s, the Scorpion was scaled down to a single-serving cocktail, with Trader Vic’s 1972 Bartender’s Guide cementing its simplified version of rum, brandy, citrus, and orgeat. Today, it remains a tiki classic, enjoyed in both bowl and individual forms, known for its vibrant flavors and dramatic tropical presentation.

Tonight’s featured Tiki Tuesday cocktail is the Sol y Sombra made with Apricot, Lime, Pineapple, Dark Rum, and Gold Rum.

The Sol y Sombra was created in 1957 by bartender Joe Scialom at the Caribe Hilton in San Juan during the height of mid-century Caribbean resort cocktail culture. Developed for the hotel’s glamorous beachside bar scene, it reflected the era’s fusion of tropical luxury and international sophistication. The drink became part of the Caribe Hilton’s celebrated legacy alongside other landmark creations of the period, drawing visiting travelers, celebrities, and diplomats. It remains a symbol of golden-age Puerto Rican hotel mixology.

Tonight’s featured Tiki Tuesday cocktail is the ‘Missionary’s Downfall’, made with Peach, Lime, Pineapple, Mint, Honey, and White Rum.

The Missionary’s Downfall was created by Donn Beach at Don the Beachcomber in the 1930s. Its playful name reflects tiki culture’s escapist humor rather than anything literal. Unlike many tiki drinks, it features a lighter, refreshing profile built around mint and tropical flavors. The cocktail showcases Donn Beach’s creativity in expanding tiki beyond heavy rum punches, offering a cooler, more herbaceous alternative that became a lasting staple of mid-century tiki menus.

Tonight’s featured Tiki Tuesday cocktail is the Sleeping Giant made with Pineapple, Lime, Orgeat, Orange, and White Rum.

The Sleeping Giant cocktail came from the Lagoon Cocktail Terrace at the Coco Palms Resort in the 1960s. It was named after a nearby ridgeline shaped like a sleeping giant, tied to local Hawaiian legend and said to inspire awe among early island residents who feared he might awaken. Documented in William J. LeCroy’s 1972 souvenir booklet Come Curl Up in a Bottle with Me, the drink became part of Hawaii’s resort-era tiki culture and tropical cocktail tradition.

Tonight’s featured Tiki Tuesday cocktail is the ‘Hurricane’ made with Passionfruit, Lime, Pomegranate, Orange, and a Jamaican Rum blend.

First recorded origin of the Hurricane showed up in the Ron Rico Cocktail book and was served at the Worlds Fair in New York in 1939. Ron Rico’s version called for Passionfruit, Lemon, Lime, and four ounces of Rum. Later adopted by Pat O’Briens in the French quarter of New Orleans and quickly became the house cocktail in the fourties. The cocktail was adjusted swapping out the lemon for orange and added pomegranate. The Hurricane cocktail quickly became popular amongst tourists and locals alike and remains a signature cocktail of New Orleans.

Sunday School is back! This session we will be exploring (and sipping) our way through the evolution of the Martini. 🍸

The Martini didn’t start as the cold, stripped-down drink we know today. It started as the Martinez—a fuller, richer cocktail built with Old Tom gin, sweet vermouth, maraschino liqueur, and bitters.

We’ll be opening Sunday School with the Cellar’s version of the Martinez, then walking through the Martini’s slow transformation.

If you’ve ever had strong feelings about how a Martini should be made—this class is for you. We will explore the, Martinez, Classic, Dirty, Espresso, and Cellar Martini
