I'm breaking in the Trader Vic's 90th anniversary mug, designed by Tiki Rob (RIP) and acquired during Inuhele, with my Tropical Thunder Express cocktail (recipe at AtomicGrog.com). Get the mug at TraderVics.com for 50% off! I'll be back in Atlanta with a new seminar in 2026 (tickets at Inuhele.com).
