Cobra kiss, oh-so-deadly, sidewinder's fang and shrunken skull: What read like titles for B-grade horror movies are actually the names given to some of the 51 tropical concoctions listed on the Mai-Kai's drink menu. These names shouldn't be taken lightly. Just one year shy of its 50th anniversary, this palm-fronded Polynesian landmark packs its drinks with enough booze to feed the flames on all those tiki torches decorating the place. The barrel o' rum is legendary for its mind-bending effects and served two for one during the 5-7 p.m. daily happy hour at the Molokai Bar.
