Newest iteration of the Pink Pyrat...

3/4oz Kraken
3/4oz Pyrat
1.5oz milk
1/2oz rose syrup
3/4oz almond syrup

This actually isn't too bad. But I'm just trailing in my daughter's footsteps now. Her latest rose smoothie recipe is rose syrup, almond syrup, and vanilla ice cream, and it's delicious. All I'm doing is taking her ideas, adding booze, and calling it piratey. My next iteration will use her melted ice cream. And probably less Kraken and more Pyrat in the interest of preserving the color... the very dark Kraken makes the pink a bit brownish.

This really isn't a "tiki drink" right now. It's lacking the signature fruit flavors that make me think "tiki" (and the original passes with coconut pretty much sucked). But I may go back to a bit of lime, and I'm thinking seriously about ginger too - for all my putzing around with exotic ingredients, the best drinks I've made lately were just rum, ginger ale, and bitters.
