first for me (although i had no concept of tiki drinks at the time) was the Mai Tai. this was simply in the course of learning to make well-known cocktails. as a cocktails enthusiast, I had identified falernum as a rare cocktails component that was seemingly unavailable to me, and I knew it was necessary in order to make a zombie (although, i did not know the zombie history). When i finally found a store carrying Velvet falernum, i began researching zombie recipes online, and came across this site. doing some searches here, the drinks that sounded the most familiar to me (aside from the mai tai and the zombie) were the Scorpion, the Fogcutter, and the Navy Grog, so those are the tiki drinks I initially tried out. |
