We're toasting the return of the vintage Barney West tiki with an updated Mai-Kai Moai cocktail. The mug was created by the late Danny "Tiki Diablo" Gallardo for Mike and Chelsea's 2015 wedding (see photo). I created the drink in 2016, a year before the original carving fell. #tikicarving #tikidrink
