Thanks Hurricane! We had just been to Tambu the prior weekend (made the tallest and most gravity-defying Dole Whip Captain Cook's had ever seen!) and we had a Backscratcher and Lapu Lapu (any chance you have that recipe too?) so the flavors were still fresh in my mind when I made the ones at home and other than the difference of a bourbon substitution they tasted pretty much like the Tambu ones. I used the rest of the bottle of POG up making J Wray Overproof rum punches, and if you like J Wray you would almost certainly like those. I hope your new insider info on the if/when/where of a WDW Trader Sam's is in error. I'd rather see it as part of the Pleasure Island redevelopment that at Polynesian. Either way, I'm really looking forward to a WDW Sam's.
