Tiki Mug – Tommy Bahama – Marlin Bar 2007 – Bikini Bongo

The Tommy Bahama brand was conceived by Bob Emfield and Tony Margolis, who, while relaxing at their beach houses, envisioned a fictional character named Tommy Bahama living the ultimate “one long weekend” lifestyle. They created a line of upscale, casual apparel, starting with men’s wear, and later expanded into women’s wear, accessories, and home furnishings. The first Tommy Bahama store and restaurant opened in Naples, Florida, in the mid-1990s.

Hula Skirt – The bold bright color of this cocktail makes it stand out in a crowd, but the drink isn’t as sweet as it looks. Most of that vibrant color comes from Campari, which has a bitter orange flavor that is quite unexpected when you take your first sip. The orange blends well with the lime and spice flavors that are also in this cocktail, making for a drink that is absolutely intriguing from the first sip to the last.

Aged Jamaican Rum – 2 ounces
Campari Liqueur – ¼ ounce
Falernum Liqueur – ½ ounce
Fresh Lime Juice – 1/4 ounce
Grenadine Syrup – 1 teaspoon

Combine all ingredients in a shaker and fill with ice cubes. Shake vigorously for 20 to 30 seconds. Strain the contents of the shaker into the Tommy Bahama Mug. Garnish with a hula skirt.

How to make a hula skirt  garnish – Cut a lime in half, then cut a small opening in the end of one half and scoop out the pulp. Using a pair of scissors, cut vertical slits all around the lime shell. Place on the rim of the mug as a garnish.
