From the Trader Vic book of Food and Drink (paraphrased): 1.5 bottles of amber rum half bottle white wine 8 oz orange juice 16 oz lemon juice (yes - fresh) 2 oz gin 2 oz brandy 8 oz orgeat fresh mint float a gardenia blossom in it Enjoy - it's my personal favorite of all tropical drinks. Well - there is the Demerara Dry Float.... and ummm Navy Grog.... and well, Beachbum's Own is pretty good - and oh yeah the Test Pilot. Grog Log has a pretty good version of a Scorpion in it but the TV one is by far the most tart and delicious.
