Lemon Hart Demerara rum, one of the most ballyhooed spirits in the history of tropical cocktails, has returned to the bars of The Mai-Kai in Fort Lauderdale, just two months after being made available in Florida by its new importer. Manager Kern Mattei made the announcement to his staff during the last weekend in April, and many classic drinks are reportedly returning to their original recipes. Click here for the full story: Around a dozen of The Mai-Kai's already great cocktails just got even better. So far, I've tasted four of them and plan to return this week to try some more. Here's the Shrunken Skull:
Others updated include the Zombie and 151 Swizzle. Click on the link above for a full report, including links to revised reviews and recipes in the cocktail guide. The new 151 Swizzle recipe is the closest one yet to the real thing. The same blog post also contains more info on Kohala Bay, aka Dagger, and updates on the cocktails that feature this dark Jamaican rum. Also check the blog for info on a June 9 event at The Mai-Kai, where we hope to feature both Lemon Hart and Kohala Bay flights: In the meantime, I strongly recommend anyone with the means to make a beeline for The Mai-Kai and revisit some of the classics drinks, now made the way they were originally intended. Okole maluna! |
