Description

An original Trader Vic's cocktail pick with a moulded Menehune figure. One side of the shaft reads TRADER VIC'S, the other MENEHUNE.

Trader Vic's

Victor «Trader Vic» Bergeron opened his first place in Oakland in 1934 and built it into the most influential tiki bar chain in the world. The Mai Tai came from his house (1944) — still disputed with Don the Beachcomber, but Trader Vic's version is the one that stuck. When people say «tiki bar» today, they mean what was invented there.

The Menehune

In Hawaiian tradition the Menehune are little people who work at night and finish whole structures by morning. Trader Vic's made them a house motif — they appear on menus, coasters and, of course, on these picks.
