Mr Bali Hai Recipe

Mr. Bali hai is a 60s-era tiki recipe from the bali hai restaurant in san diego, saved for posterity in jeff beachbum berrys intoxica Cocktail book. It was named for mr. Bali hai himself, a tiki statue outside the restaurant. Its typically served in a tiki mug (extra points if you can get your paws on the official mugs bali hai uses), but it has a lovely (if quite brown) gradient effect in a glass. Compared to other rum-coffee-pineapple cocktails, this one is quite coffee-forward, with pineapple and lemon coming through and rum in the background.
