Let me start by acknowledging that I don't drink very often. Due to this, I realize that likely means I don't have a very developed sense of taste when it comes to cocktails, but after a recent experience mixing up a variety of tiki drinks for friends, I realized that most of them tasted, well, pretty much the same. Of course most if them are made using the same basic ingredients, so it's not really surprising.

I know there are likely exceptions, but so many of the drinks had the same flavor profile that I'd be surprised if even the seasoned drinkers could name many of them by taste alone. Maybe it's akin to wine tasting, where blind tests have shown that even the experts can't consistently tell the difference between cheap and expensive wines.

Can you name a tiki drink that you could identify by taste alone? If so, please list it, because I'm looking for some more unique drinks to try.

Sorry if anyone is offended, but I'd still love to see some people try an honest blind tasting at a tiki event and see how many drinks they can identify from a list. Might be a fun "party game."
