Hula Hoops Trip Report: Part 2 – The Search for the Ultimate Mai Tai

Take-Out Lunch from @hulahoopssf (2/2) Blessing: The spam sliders and pork sliders I ordered tasted great. Some nice touches including a nice little cucumber and some slaw on top. The pork was flavorful but not too spicy (sometimes an issue for me). I also ordered a very nice Hula Hoops pin – only $5. I also ordered a Buz-Tai, a Mai Tai variant by local tiki-luminary Buz Deadwax (@deadwax). Even after the dilution of the trip home this cocktail was extraordinarily robust and totally fully of alcohol. I added a little 151 to serve it flaming. This cocktail leans into the allspice liqueur, but it is absolutely a must-get if ordering for take-out. Mrs. Mai Tai is back to drinking a little bit and stayed off the wagon with an Ube Martini with Rum. This is made with Ube and coconut creme and @tanduayrum rum I believe. This is what we served at her 50th birthday party a couple years ago and was a hit hit then and it was today as well. Definitely unique and a great addition to our brunch today. Hula Hoops is also running a GoFundMe for first responders, so head over to their website and throw a donation in there. #tiki #tikibar #tikidrinks #tikiculture #tropicaldrinks #cocktails #craftcocktails #rum #rhum #maitai #1944maitai #buztai #southsf #southsanfrancisco
