Spring Break 2019 Tiki Tour: The Golden Tiki Part 2

Friday, April 5, 2019

For my second drink I got the Navy Grog which the menu describes as "One of our strongest drinks, blending Brugal Rum, Appleton Estate, and J. Wray & Nephew overproof rum with lime juice, grapefruit and honey." I had a hard time deciding which drink to go with and Roxanne approved of this one since it's served flaming!

Here Dale poses with the tiki mug the Navy Grog came in. And yes, I purchased the mug. It looks orange in this picture but it's really bright red.

For dessert I ordered the Dole Whip with pineapple juice but without alcohol. Very delicious. I've heard a lot of Dole Whip over the past few years but never tried it. I loved it. Dale helped me out with it a little. 

I loved the design of the menu and asked Roxanne if I could purchase one. She wasn't sure so she checked with the manager. It turns out she couldn't sell me the current menu but they had copies of the previous one that she could give me for 5 dollars.

Our flight left today around 4:30 p.m. so we had some time to work with to squeeze in another place on our tiki bar tour. 

Located in Chinatown, The Golden Tiki was very minimalist in terms of tiki-ness on the outside. Inside, however, was a tiki lover's paradise. 

Like Frankie's Tiki Room, The Golden Tiki was awesome. We got there around 11:00 a.m. and the place wasn't very busy. Our bartender, Roxanne, was very welcoming and took really good care of us. 

I looked over the menu and was at a loss as to where to even start drink-wise. Roxanne recommended the Lime In the Coconut cocktail which she said was one of her personal favorites and that it didn't hurt that it was also served flaming. I had to try it. She didn't steer me wrong cuz I loved it. The drink menu described it as: "Don Q Cristal and Malibu coconut rum combined with Giffard Orgeat and fresh lime." The flame came from a sugar cube soaked in something flammable and floated on a lime. (see above)
