Some local girls were kind to pose for me on this beautiful little beach at the side of the old road. (at Pohaku Park)

Did I mention how great the drinks were at Mama’s last night? Front & center, the Mai Tai Roa Ae. Back & to the left is the Scorpion. Back right is a rum filled variant on their Relaxer. #tikiasfuck #latergram (at Mama’s Fish House)

Painkillers anyone? Not your average blender drink. 4/1/1 of Pineapple, OJ & Cream of Coconut, garnish with a little nutmeg. Today the part of Pusser’s(tm) will be played by @KoloaRumCompany’s Dark & just a splash of Spiced. (at Ka’anapali Beach Club)

Coming in for a landing in Maui. #Aloha! #ItsTikiTime (at Kahului Airport (OGG))

Jeff “Beachbum” Berry got a bottle of Berry Hill pimento dram. Coincidence? Cc @TheMaiKai @MrsBum (at Mai-Kai Restaurant and Lounge)

Lost Cocktail Party at @TheMaiKai starring (l to r) Demerara Float, Impatient Virgin, & the Last Rites. I’m terribly partial to the Impatient Virgin, but then, I would be, wouldn’t I? #tikiasfuck (at Mai-Kai Restaurant and Lounge)

Big happy smiles here in the Molokai Bar. Do the half price drinks have anything to do with it? #tikiasfuck (at Mai-Kai Restaurant and Lounge)

Had to stop for a drink & watch the mermaids swim by. #hukilau (at The Hukilau)

I couldn’t resist buying this beautiful mug called Long Pig—a reference to cannibalism, FYI—from @mulder142 here at #hukilau. I bought three other beauties as well, I couldn’t help myself! #tikiasfuck (at The Hukilau)

Just bought an awesome little bottle from @johnnievelour at #hukilau (at The Hukilau)

Captain Crunch pancakes and Key Lime Belgian Waffle. #iminlove (at Eating House)

I had a pretty good time on my 30th. Thanks again, Victoria, for the photo. They call me #luckyboy

Somehow, my entire life, I’ve gone without having a Mahattan IN Manhattan. Thanks, @PouringRibbons & thanks Joaquin! (at Pouring Ribbons)

This menu is a sign of pure genius. Joaquin & Alchemy have really hit the mark with the whole place. (at Pouring Ribbons)

The best blue drink in the known universe: The Shark. You know how I know it’s the best? @Jacobbriars brought in John & “Sharky” Sean to make it during his session on blue drinks last Tales—and Mr. Briars *knows* his blue drinks! (at PDT)

Aha! The mistress of The Dragon Twins! (at Crif Dogs)
