Tiki Drink Watercolor Series by Paul Myrick

Tropical delights inspired by mid-century Tiki rooms.

Welcome to Paul Myrick’s watercolor homage to tiki culture—where rum, whimsy, and watercolor meet in a swirl of tropical mischief. Each painting in this ten-drink series raises a bamboo mug to the mid-century tiki craze that swept America’s bars and backyards. From the aristocratic Thurston Howl to the unrepentant Suffering Bastard, every piece is infused with color, humor, and the escapist spirit of Polynesian pop. So grab your tiny umbrella, lean back in your rattan chair, and enjoy a visual cocktail flight—no hangover included.

A drink so bold it could shrink your inhibitions—and maybe your head. Served in a coconut shell with attitude, this jungle concoction dares you to sip carefully and dance recklessly.

Pina Colada Tiki Drink

Creamy, dreamy, and dangerously beachy. With every brushstroke of pineapple and coconut, you can almost hear a steel drum band convincing you to never go back to work again.

High-society tiki at its tipsiest. This one’s for the castaway who packed a tux and a trust fund—complete with a splash of yacht-club flair and a wink toward Gilligan.

Triple-rum trouble in paradise. Swirling with fruit, fire, and a hint of chaos, this classic comes alive in watercolor like a hula dancer on a sugar high.

The Squawking Bird Tiki Drink

Half cocktail, half commotion. Bright plumage and louder flavor—this painting sings at full volume, proving that subtlety has no place in a proper tiki bar.

The grand pooh-bah of Polynesian potions. This iconic masterpiece blends rum, lime, and nostalgia into one glorious toast to mid-century escapism.

Scorpion Bowl Tiki Drink

The communal cauldron of convivial chaos. Painted with a swirl of colors that suggest “let’s all share” but actually mean “I’ll take the straw with the longest reach.”

London Sour Tiki Drink

A proper cocktail that wandered off the map and wound up in the tropics. Think gin meets tiki in a cheerful cultural misunderstanding that somehow works.

Born from equal parts hangover and heroism, this legendary libation promises pain and pleasure in watercolor form—just like any good night out.

Molokai Mike Tiki Drink

The mysterious man behind the bar who’s part myth, part mixologist. Swizzle sticks, sea breezes, and secrets—you can almost smell the rum and hear him say, “one more for the road.”
