The Space Needle, an obscure Mai Tai variation from "Trader Vic's Rum Cookery and Drinkery" (1974), likely created for the 1962 Worlds Fair and/or the Eye of the Needle restaurant inside Seattle's Space Needle. #cocktail #cocktails #rumcocktail #tradervic #tradervics #tikidrink #tikicocktail

Turntable with Pardon My Blooper on the platter. Next to it is the album sleeve, a potted plant, a lanyard from Paul McCartney’s Out There Tour, and a Mai Tai

Enjoying some classic boners and a cocktail. Pardon My Bloopers is a great #Goodwill find. To drink a whiskey based Mai Tai. I think #TraderVic called it a Honi Honi🍸🍹

1 oz Puerto Rican rum
