What are some tasty tiki drinks with a non-rum base? - Tiki Drinks and Food

I've found a few tiki-appropriate drinks which branch out and I'm itching to try more. I rather enjoy the "Blood and Sand" cocktail, which is named after a 1922 silent film and features a blended Scotch base. While not originally associated with tiki, I feel like it wouldn't be out of place on a drink menu. Blood and Sand Cocktail 1 oz blended Scotch, 1 oz orange juice (variation: blood orange), 3/4 oz Cherry Heering, 3/4 oz sweet vermouth. Stir with ice, strain into chilled martini glass, garnish with a flamed orange twist. Anyone have any ideas for others? [ Edited by: Tik-easy 2011-06-07 14:52 ]
