Hiltiki, I would say Tiki Ti's Jim's Special pg 27 is my new favorite, I was given a bottle of Casadores agave and never used it until I saw this recipe, I took the Bum's advice and used frozen passion fruit pulp to make mine and his story of young Ray Buhen is classic. After trying 5-6 of the recipes in Sippin' Safari, I agree that Jim's Special is the best so far. I didn't have any white rum or Casadores in stock, so I substituted Appleton's V/X and Don Julio reposado. It turned out very well - extremely drinkable for such a strong cocktail. The only issue I have with the recipe is that it's not clear what grade of tequila it calls for (blanco, reposado or anejo). The three result in quite different flavors.
