Best Cocktail Menu

Kon Tiki

Aloha! Mix a jigger of Disneyland's enchanted tiki room with equal parts cigarette-smoke-infested dive and schmaltzy Tiki gods for the best-known cocktail menu south of Mount Lemmon. During the past 40 years, Kon Tiki's reputation evolved as that special place to legally celebrate a 21st birthday. The fish-bowl-sized scorpion reigns as the most popular, but the mai tai and blue Hawaii vie for runners-up. Feeling like a zombie or an Oahu island iced tea? Try the C.A.P. water; though brown in color, it's not lethal like Tucson water. Banana split tastes like an alcoholic Dairy Queen, and the bartender only knows the recipe for the K.T. mystery drink. Sip on a grasshopper or alexander. No wiki wiki here. B.Y.O. designated driver.
