The Tiki Drinks Series

He’s seen things. Tiki things.

Meet the Suffering Bastard — the most existentially exhausted cocktail in the history of tropical escapism. Hand drawn in loose, expressive watercolor, this ancient stone face wears the unmistakable look of someone who ordered a relaxing island drink and got handed a Monday morning instead. The blue straw juts out at a defiant angle. The maraschino cherry perches above like a tiny, mocking crown. A plumeria blossom sits nearby — cheerful, unbothered, completely unaware of the suffering happening three inches to its left.

This piece is part of The Parodies — an ongoing original art series that finds the absurdity hiding inside the icons of pop culture, cocktail history, and everyday life. The Tiki Drinks series takes the kitschy, sun-soaked ritual of the tiki bar and asks the question nobody asked: what if the mug had feelings?

Spoiler: he’s not okay.

But he looks incredible on your stuff.
