An exquisite cocktail-perfect for the season.
Totally. It's a most righteous libation. I was lucky to enjoy the early version of the Voodoo Priestess. It was so pumpkin-ah-licious good. Then, a little twist here and a wee adjustment there, it became that much better. Get your own self down to Forbidden Island, it's not that far, and order up one of these treats. It's no trick, matey, it is a fine cocktail. Truly, one for the season.
Way to go Haleo...uh, Hallpass, umm, Hee Oh Ah La La. Well done, Thayer. The Vitamin T was super goodness, as well.
That's 999 posts...at least thirty-six have been meritable. Hmm, perhaps thirty-five.
Boo eek boo,
ghost of midnite passed
EDIT:
Save The Voodoo Priestess! This must now rank as a Forbidden Island signature cocktail.
Hear here! I concur, most vociferously. The VP must, at a minimum, stick around through the end of the year. It's the right cocktail for the season: Halloween, Thankgsgiving, Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanza, Festivus, Shopping, Drinking. If the VP is not available at Forbidden Island I just may have to go to Forbidden Island more, stay longer, and I will talk to other customers, a lot. Don't make me visit the jukebox, I'll do it. (Hee hee, reverse psychology).
No Voodoo Priestess, no justice! Power to the people, feed me, I'm hungry. Rock on!

The only problem is that it's one of the October Drinks Specials. With this being the last day in October...
[ HAPPY HALLOWE'EN EVERYONE!]
... I don't know how much longer it'll be on the menu.

I agree! This one is definitely good enough to be a permanent fixture on the menu. I know I'll be drinking a couple of them tonight! Save the Voodoo Priestess!!!
Oh, and a big congrats to Thayer! So great to see the Priestess getting such highly deserved praise from the congregation!

I concur--it must be saved AT LEAST until I can limp down there and try one. Surely it can stay on at least until TC night tomorrow?

Good news Martin! YAY!!! And I've only had a sip of one. It is a perfect Halloween season drink, and winter holiday drink, and refreshing Spring libation, and summer delight...oh jeez, just put the thing on the menu already.
Congrats to our illustrious priestess for getting her rightful recognition.

Alright Haole'akamai! All way nice to get the warm fuzzies from the local paper. I will have to get back over Alameda way and introduce myself to the Voodoo Preistess. It sounds pretty tasty and the reviews are glowing.
Catch ya later,
