I stood in the liquor isle at Stater Bros (grocery store) for a couple minutes... (Malibu or white rum and coco lopez... Malibu or white rum and coco lopez) I should have gone with my instinct and bought the coco lopez. I also wondered about halving the lime juice, but doubling everything else filled the barrel to the rim. The Warehouse restaurant rum barrels are semi-common around So Cal thrift stores so I use them regularly for the smaller drinks. The Harvey's buckets are my favorite for mai-tais with the wife. For parties or get-togethers I'll break out some of the rarer mugs. But I digress... We like the traditional Trader Vic's recipe except I add an ounce of pineapple juice, so maybe we prefer drinks a little sweeter...

I made 'em again tonight for the wife and her friends and they liked double recipe. Next time I'll try your coco lopez version. Mahalo for the input. Aloha
