I finally tried the Shasta Tiki Punch flavor. As I kind of suspected it tastes a lot like Hawaiian Punch and soda water. Is Hawaiian Punch still sold in the stores? I haven't had it in years (remember the yellow one?) but this tastes a lot like I remember it. It's not bad, but nothing spectacular.

On the upside, it is not bad at all with a little rum. I mixed a high ball with it, but felt it needed a little something extra. So, I added a little cinnamon schnapps and that gave it a nice extra boost. Here's how I made it...

  • Noa Noa Tahitian rum
  • Red Hot cinnamon schnapps (hiram walker)
  • Shasta Tiki Punch

Put ice into a highball glass. Add a shot of rum and about a half ounce of cinnamon schnapps. Fill the glass with tiki punch.

It's a bit sweet but it's not too bad.
