Created at the Bali Hai restaurant in the 1960s, this Tiki drink was named after a statue that sat out front. The combination of rum, coffee liqueur and pineapple all work together to create a delicious, tangy cocktail.

This can be a bit sweet. For a slightly spicier version, add a few dashes of Angostura bitters and a lemon twist!

Hi, I'm Scott Gardner, your mindful mixologist. While I am not a professional bartender, I have made well over two hundred different and unique cocktails, and invented over fifteen original drinks, including my famous European Vacation, Muzetta's Waltz, and The Cherry Bella, all of which can be found in my book, Lock it, Flip it, Kick it & Shake!
Besides shaking, stirring, and sipping, I also enjoy golfing, reading, and writing. My wife and I both love animals and we have recently gotten into birding, which is a fun and rewarding hobby. And our favorite birds... The Philadelphia Eagles, of course! Go Birds!
