Tucked down just a few stairs of Cow Lane is Debajo, a tiki and dance bar with a staff best described as vibrant. These guys make their own Rumbullion, and a few other ingredients to boot. Go and enjoy some great tiki drinks, especially rock down a Volcano with a few friends.
Watch out for flooding if it rains though…

It’s getting warmer. Rum drinks and warm weather go together. Time to buy some tiki mugs.
As an interim measure, I picked up a young drinking coconut at the supermarket and decided to revel in the kitschness of it all.
Lime in the Coconut
15ml fresh lime juice, 30ml coconut juice, 15ml fresh pineapple juice, 30ml spiced rum, 30ml Mount Gay Extra Old rum, 10ml Amaretto. Shake all ingredients well and strain into a well iced coconut. Garnish in a garish fashion, I’ve gone with pineapple leaves, a wheel of lime, 1987 fluro straws and ice cube Moai heads.
