I recognize that one! It's the Surf Room Mai Tai recipe from Intoxica! At least everyone agreed that the recipe comes from the Royal Hawaiian.
Wait.... Is Jeff Berry writing under a pseudonym? Sort of like Stephen King writing as Richard Bachman? :)

Theres one of her new recipes in this article, you be the judge.

How do you crush a vanilla bean? I've only used them a few times, but they don't strike me as "crushable". Also, filling a collins glass with lemon and lime juice is going to make for a pretty sour drink, and only 1/4 oz. sugar syrup? Ouch.
I'd be interested in the opinion of someone who actually tries this. And succeeds in crushing a vanilla bean.
