The Search for the Ultimate Mai Tai: Orange Curacao
Amazing Tiki Central 20th Anniversary pack from PinTiki.
I had picked up a few of the coasters and umbrellas at the event at Forbidden Island but I wanted to order this to get the amazing Tiki Central pin. Really looks great.
Go get it while you can.
It’s like the Blue Hawaii and the Mai Tai had a baby. This is an original riff and I hope you like it.
