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.

Baron Samedi is the deity of death, the owner of the cemetery and the guide to the world of the dead. Baron like no one else knows how short life is and there is no point in wasting it on bad experiences and suffering. He kind of tells us: have fun and enjoy your life because tomorrow I may take you to the spirit world. Available in White, Black, Original, Dark, Brown, and Russet glaze variants.

Maman Brigitte is the rightful mistress of the gates of any cemetery. She is also the wife of Baron Samedi, who is recognized as the ruler of the dead. She is able to bring back the dead, postpone a particular person's death and even heal from a terrible disease that is caused by witchcraft or outside influence. Available in Dark, Tropicana, Bronze, White, or Black glaze variants.

This is a mug shaped like a snarling ape head wearing a necklace of alternating yellow diamond and round red beads.

From the Lost Temple Traders website:

"On our most recent expedition, we were met with an ominous warning from the locals. 'Kunga Kong is coming!' Could it be? The beast of legend would finally make an appearance? Kunga Kong is a hand-made collaboration between Lost Temple Traders, Tickled Tiki, and sculptor Dale Silva. Limited to 150 pieces, it measures 6.5 inches tall and holds 21 oz. of your favorite beverage."
