This mug appears on the Tahitian menus for both Studio City and Pasadena. When it premiered, the cocktail that came in the mug was a "Bahini" and cost $1.60. It was described as "a tantalizing blend of Vodka and Rum." The mug was included in the price as a souvenir. Spurlin also made other coconut mugs, including a larger lidded coconut and a golden coconut mug.
