Recipes are not like secrets...I believe there is an implied use when they are published. Can you bottle the drink, and mass market it??? No. But making the drink, even using the name in a bar is what a lot of mixologists strive for...universal acceptance. There is no harm in using the drink. In my opinion, the WORST that could happen is you'd get a cease and desist order. Then just refer to it with the prefix: "The drink formerly known as....."! :wink: Don't be a mommy's moai!
