So has Woods 100 & I've only tried a little bit of Lemon Hart 80 but it was also there IMO.

Id go my own way & make new drinks. Try: Tikify a milk punch with pimento dram (like a milky Lions Tail or spicy Egg Nogg), Tikify a Southern Bourbon Punch with a Caribbean tea like lemon & ginger, ginger & mint, cerassie or sorrel (for flavour combos try http://www.dalgetyherbalteas.com/ ) Things I made myself: Bumbo Grog. 1 part honey mix, 1/2 lime (or any citrus), 1 water, shake of nutmeg & cinnammon, add some alcohol. Shaken with big ice cubes. That's how I drink my Pussers. I can believe ships went out from Europe with whatever was on hand (so its open to experimentation). Dodo 1/2 part falernum, 2 prune juice, 1 lime, bitters, add some alcohol. Blended. I wanted to make a cocktail called a 'Dodo' - the main point being the use of liquor with a bird in the title (Famous Grouse, Wild Turkey) & prunes because you cook game with them... tikified! I ended up using Cockspur, it has a cock on the bottle don't ya know :wink:
