19 drinks, 2 days, 1 liver
We found ourselves in Ventura last weekend and tried a new place called Ventiki. It’s a great little tiki-themed bar with an extensive fruity cocktail menu and tasty looking food rolling out of the kitchen.
After the first round, the bartender hands us a couple of cards and explains the Ventiki challenge: Drink all 19 of the house cocktails and receive a t-shirt and a Ventiki mug. No time limit and can be completed over multiple visits but must be certified by bartender on your drink card. Great, right? It gets better.
The first 100 rum-swilling, salty seadog patrons to complete their card will have their names immortalized on a plaque. 48 have completed (despite Aarika A’s Yelp claim that this is “likely unattainable”).

We’re going back this weekend to ensure Lost In The Underbelly secures its name on that plaque.
