This mug is based on a statue of the Hindu monkey god, Hanuman, which sat among various artifacts in the darkened Cambodian ruins in the Mekong River portion of the Disney Jungle Cruise ride. Hanuman was later replaced with a golden snake to be more politically correct.

This mug version also holds a tiki mug in its right hand, whereas the statue did not.

From Lost Temple Traders:

"The Booze Cruise has been on a long journey- the project originated with Kaku Kaku Tiki [Bill Grayson/Polynesian Village], and we took it over after long delays when it was dead."

Sculpted by Patrick Vassar (The Green Tiki). The Booze Cruise mug was released in Bone, Green, and Brown editions.
