1st MONKEYPOD MAI TAI
Monkeypod Kitchen by Merriman - Wailea, Maui, Kihei
Made with organic Maui distilled rums and it was deliciously stiff. So stiff that after consuming this on a full stomach (from a poke bowl with rice about 1-2 hours prior), I definitely need to sober up...I'm suppose to be the DD and will see how I am after fries and maybe something else. 😅 Kula organic silver and dark rums, lime, house-Made Macadamia Nut organic, bols orange curacao, honey lilikoi foam

7th 'BUZZED' ORCHID V3.0
