Im pretty sure TikiTacky has had a few drinks before but Im going to assume he has very little in his booze cabinet :)

I try & be a bit smart when I recommend drinks to people so that they have all the ingredients make lots of other drinks. With that in mind, I recommend probably my actual favourites & explain a little bit how making them will be to his advantage:

No 1) Navy Grog
No 2) Three Dots & a Dash
No 3) Coconaut

For those first two you'll need a gold puerto rican rum, a gold jamaican rum, a gold demerara rum, a gold rhum agricole, grapefruit, limes, orange, honey, bitters, pimento dram & falernum.

If you use a dark demerara rum instead of a gold demerara rum for Three Dots, it'll really it perk up IMO & you'll have another rum to try in different situations.

I could have picked a complicated drink as number 3 to bump up the ingredients but Coconaut a more recent invention that is just damn tasty :) Why did no-one think of it earlier!?! Also if you get a dark Jamaican rum you have a little more versatility over just a gold Jamaican rum.

If I was to recommend a fourth, fifth & sixth drink for people to make, it'd be a Test Pilot, Dons Special Diaquiri & Missionarys Downfall. All are great & the extra ingredients required (pernod, cinnamon syrup, passion fruit syrup, a good white mixing rum) mean you can make almost any drink I can think of :)

Someone will point out Ive missed something but that's a hell of a lot of potential drinks! :)
