Nelson’s Demise Barrel Mug Coming To Arizona Tiki Oasis And UnderTow
UPDATE: This mug is now available for purchase here.
Introducing the NELSON’S DEMISE BARREL MUG! This cocktail mug is inspired by the story of Admiral Nelson who perished in the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. His body was preserved in a barrel of rum, so that he could be taken home for a proper burial. The only problem was… sailors got thirsty along the voyage. They started tapping the barrel in secret, and without rum to preserve Nelson, his body deteriorated.
This mug is a LIMITED EDITION of 200. It is the first mug made by The Search for Tiki in New England. It was hand sculpted by tiki legend Dave “Squid” Cohen.
