In my haste to post a couple of cocktails on the birthday of one Donn Beach, I neglected to add in some photos that are arguably more important. At the most recent Shipwrecked event at The Warehouse in Marina del Rey, California, the Shipwrecked crew brought out Jeff “Beachbum” Berry. Without the Bum, none of this tiki cocktail revival happens. Full stop. Jeff led us in a toast to Donn on his birthday, February 22. It’s always an honor to be in the same room as Mr. Berry (you can see my endless adoration over on 5 Minutes of Rum).
Okole Maluna!
Oh, and this is a swell group of people, every single one of which is incredibly creative and talented (not including myself).
