This mug was manufactured for Ilikai Hotel in Hawaii by Latour Hawaii. It was used to serve the “Kumu’s Tiki” cocktail at the Ilikai’s Pier 7 coffee house/restaurant. The Ilikai Hotel & Luxury Suites is a landmark oceanfront high rise hotel and condominium at the western end of Waikiki in Honolulu, Hawaii. When it opened in 1964, the Ilikai was the first luxury high rise hotel in Hawaii. It was shown in the opening credits of Hawaii Five-0 beginning in 1968.

This mug is shaped like a small baby tiki with a cute little carved coconut for a head. He stands about 5 inches tall and is glazed in brown with hand-painted details.

This is a mug shaped like the snarling bearded head of Zardoz.

Zardoz is a 1974 Irish-American surrealist science fantasy film written, produced, and directed by John Boorman and starring Sean Connery. The film features a future post-apocalyptic Earth in the year 2293, where the human population is divided into the immortal "Eternals" and mortal "Brutals". The Brutals live in a wasteland, growing food for the Eternals, who live apart in "the Vortex", leading a luxurious but aimless existence on the grounds of a country estate. The connection between the two groups is through Brutal Exterminators, who kill and terrorize other "Brutals" at the orders of a huge flying stone head called Zardoz. "Zardoz" is a reference to the "wiZARD of OZ" and functions the same way as the wizard's theatrical tricks to awe spectators.

The Creature from the Black Lagoon from Mondo, 3rd edition Silver Screen variant of the Creature mug in light gray. Mondo released a set of Universal Monsters, including the Wolfman, The Mummy, the Phantom of the Opera and the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Other editions of the four Universal Monsters were released shortly after. Designed by Doug P’Gosh and sculpted by Matthew Black. There is also a First Edition with a yellow base glaze and "Gillman Green" wipe overglaze and a second edition in "3-D" with blue and red glazes to mimic the effect of 3-D glasses.

This mug features a cobra twined around and bursting through the stonework of an ancient Egyptian pillar decorated with lotus blossoms and with an oil brazier on top.

The name is inspired by Skipper Melissa (Melissa Nickoloff from Trader Sam's) and her cocktail, the "Temple of the Forbidden Rye" and the Indiana Jones ride in Adventureland which welcomes visitors to the Temple of the Forbidden Eye.

Melissa has stated that she wanted to do a tiki riff on "The Lion's Tail" which is a classic bourbon drink with allspice and lime. Her cocktail also seems to have some DNA from the classic tiki "Western Sour" cocktail which includes bourbon/falernum/lime (named "Zambezi Sour" on the Sam's menu). Melissa's cocktail includes:

1.75 oz rye whiskey, 0.5 oz St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram, 1 oz pineapple juice, 0.5 oz lime juice, 0.5 oz ginger syrup, 0.25 oz Falernum, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters

From the Lost Temple Traders website:

"There are a lot of things that can kill you in the Jungle: crumbling ruins, fire, giant snakes...bad resort mai tais. If you dare brave the Forbidden Rye, the reward will be great. Based on the legendary cocktail created by Skipper Melissa."

This mug is inspired by the Jungle Cruise ride at Adventureland in Disneyland where one tableau scene shows a gorilla with a gun raiding the safari camp. This gorilla wears a pith helmet and a jug of booze as well, and sits comfortably atop a crate piled with other ill-gotten goods.

This mug pays homage to the signature tiki for Ren Clark's Polynesian Village carved by Milan Guanko. The tiki has slanted, almond-shaped eyes, a smile that flares out at the edges, a pig-like nose, hands meeting with thumbs up in front, and recessed swirl designs all over the body. To make him in-theme for the event he is also wearing a cowboy hat and a belt with a lone star belt buckle holding up leather chaps. The outline of the state of Texas is marked on his back. "Texas Tiki Week" is incised in recessed letters around the front base and "USBG" around back base.

An iridescent toucan bird perched with its mouth open. There is also a gold glaze version and a mint green glaze version that preceded this one.

This is a two-part mug set sculpted to look like "The Beast of Blood" from the fourth film in the "Blood Island" monster franchise.

Made in the Philippines in 1970 for the U.S. drive-In market by Hemisphere Pictures, "The Beast of Blood" features a lush jungle-island setting with former Rockabilly singer and "Beach Party" star, John Ashley, alongside "Star Trek" alum and former Elvis Presley co-star, Celeste Yarnall ("Live A Little, Love A Little"), as two Americans who encounter a mad doctor whose experiments with chlorophyll serum have turned a man into an undying, green-blooded zombie beast.

Drive-In-Sanity Films, in association with TikiBauer Pottery of California released the first in a series of "The Beast of Blood" mugs at The Mai-Kai Hulaween event on October 30th, 2020. The Beast of Blood mug was designed and sculpted by Tom "THOR" Thordarson and is actually two mugs in one. When stacked, The Beast of Blood mug is approximately 8" tall. Separated, the Beast's disembodied head holds approximately 4 ounces of fluid while the Beast's headless body holds approximately 8 ounces.

The Blood Island Green Potion #2 was served during the month of October at The Mai-Kai to celebrate this mug release. Described as "A tart and potent green colored potion featuring Appleton 8 year with a floater of hibiscus-infused red rum which the Mad Doctor Lorca and his Beast of Blood would definitely approve of!"

Mug also came with two matching double-sided swizzle sticks.
