In search of: Black Magic! - Tiki Drinks and Food

I tend to like the "dark" tasting complex Donn Beach style drinks, so these variations have been great to try. Melintur's Dark Magic was up first, and tasty. Hurricane Hayward's blog has been a great resource, and I really like the observation about a little cinnamon as the go-to secret zazz factor in the Mai Kai drinks. On a couple experiments, I found that to be quite true. Starting with BK's Magic above, adding a dollop of B.G. Reynolds' extremely viscous cinnamon syrup made it really sparkle. I couldn't find Swanky's Magic on the Grogalizer, no matter how many ingredients I turn on in "My Bar". Aside from the fact that I'm probably missing something on using the Grogalizer, I'd definitely try it if that recipe materializes on this thread someday. -Randy
