The Hollywood Lanai

Very saddened to hear about the passing of
Rob was an extremely talented artist as you can see from these mugs but even more importantly he was the personification of tiki ohana that we all speak about. Rob you will be very missed.
RIP Rob
PS: On Friday night we went out to Lucky Tiki and I opened the closet to pick an aloha shirt and I immediately grabbed the Tiki Rob shirt. Something told me to wear it. There was no other choice that night.

Mele Kalikimaka from the Hollywood Lanai. My play on a painkiller called Blood will be shed. No surprise this version brings the Jamaican funk using Doctor Bird.

Coquito time. While I follow the traditional recipe and use my version has a little ohhh la la added to funk it up just a tad.

It’s the season for ho ho ho and hogo. Thanks to for picking this up on his last trip to

Happy National Mai Tai Day. It was a barn burner here today in LA so to keep the ice from melting and the mint from going limp was a chore today.

On national rum day I’d like to give a shout out to our good friend
Last week Shannon gifted me a bottle of her rum and I’m looking forward to mixing up with it.

This Saturday I will have some tiki coolers at the / booth at
This one I decided to put on a TikiBob and I’m really happy with how it turned out.
NOTE: From time to time I do put other artists carvings, etc on my coolers to give them a little extra flare. When I do this I only charge what I paid for the artist piece of art and add that to the price of the cooler. I don’t mark up and make money off of other artists art as that would be a garbage human thing to do.

So this happened today. I went all Tiki Oasis not really buying much mainly because I was busy prepping for the LWT suite party. So today I went over and saw this beautiful tiki bob sitting there waiting for me on table and knew immediately it had to come home with me. Many of you that know me know my obsession with a tiki bob. He’s tattooed on my arm, is one of my HL logos and is prominently displayed about everywhere in my home bar. This was definitely a grail mug type purchase as it’s the closest I’ve gotten to the vintage type bob. Check out The La Mariana sailing club logo placed right where all the vintage ob’s would have tiki bobs “insert city” put. So cool! This mug simply is a piece of art to which I’m completely blown away by work on this. Thanks so much for this.

Just a few of my tiki cooler creations.

I’ll be doing a symposium at on Friday from 5:30pm-6:30pm. Come through and hear the story of The Hollywood Lanai and how our small apartment was turned into a little slice of paradise.
