Yesterday afternoon, husband and wife Tiki aficionados TikiHardBop (George Jenkins) and TornadoTiki (Chris Kridler) visited the Blowfish Bar, to our absolute delight. They had just come from the nearby Flagler County Library at Palm Coast, where Chris had given a presentation on her storm chasing experiences and talked about her new book, Funnel Vision. After plying them with rum cocktails, they regaled us with their New Orleans adventures at Tales of the Cocktail. George recently posted web links on Tiki Central to news stories and video clips of the event reported by Chris on behalf of the The Times-Picayune. Our rum cocktails were simplified Zombies prepared to the recipe on page 169 of Beachbum Berry’s Remixed, except we doubled the specified amount of the dark Jamaican rum. We used B.G. Reynolds’ Don’s Mix, Myers’s Original Dark Rum, Cruzan 151 Proof Aged Rum (no local availability of Lemon Hart 151), fresh limes and fresh mint sprigs. Our featured appetizer was Shrimp Avocado Salsa, served with tortilla chips. Our “happy factor” climbed right to the top of the meter after a few cocktails... -Tom
