Had a great time meeting some of the Florida East Coast Tiki Folks last night at an event, heard some killer surf music and enjoyed a few nice drinks mixed up for that event. The best drink of the night was the Witch Doctor, an old Jasper LaFranc Bay Roc Hotel cocktail that will be among those featured in Beachbum Berry's upcoming Caribbean cocktail book. Front and center in the drink is a heavy dose of Jasper's Mix with lime juice, sugar, Ango and grated nutmeg. Delicious!

Here's the recipe as related by the Bum at his Hukilau seminar:

Jasper laFranc's Witch Doctor
1.5 oz jaspers mix
1.5 oz gold rum
0.5 oz cherry Heering or cherry brandy
0.5 oz triple sec
Mix with cubed ice
Garnish with pineapple and cherry

Came home and spun up a couple 1934 Zombies to wind down with. I made that drink for several years without LH151 because I couldn't get it, and it was a servicable drink but not a favorite. With the Lemon Hart it just comes together so perfectly. The last year since LH151 has been back in Florida this drink has been in much more heavy rotation.
