Trader Vic's Los Angeles Tiki Mug Brown
Trader Tom
This honey brown glazed mug has an ivory interior and was inspired by a traditional Hawaiian Ku Tiki. The bottom front rim reads "Trader Vic's" in raised relief letters and the bottom back rim reads "Los Angeles, CA" in an incised script lettering. "Tiki Farm, 2008" is stamped on the bottom. The mug was designed by Marcus Pizzuti at Tiki Farm. There were 1,000 made in this color. Holden speculates that the next run of this mug will probably be done with a green exterior glaze.

Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar Piranha Mug - First Edition Variant - Gold
Trader Tom
Had to purchase with a drink, so I had a $12 Zambezi Sour, which was pretty good and sounded better than the Piranha Pool cocktail. With tax and tip this mug was about $45 and $15 more than those that bought it for the opening release paid to get just the mug. I enjoyed the drink, though. They made the Zambezi with Woodford's. I think at home I might sub a stronger overproof bourbon like Old Forester 1920 and use Maggie's Farm Falernum and see what it tastes like then.
