My next tiki stop on my journey:

Beachcomber's Gold (Waikiki)

This is much different from the other versions of the Beachcomber's Gold variations. It is much closer to the oft-repeated tiki combination of lime-passionfruit-rum that is quite common within the bum's tomes. That being said, the Angostura and and honey mixture adds a delicate refinement to the flavor. Overall, I'm not sure if I need to repeat this drink. It didnt make that strong an impression. In fairness, I used a diluted passionfruit syrup in place of passionfruit juice; I'm not sure how much different the flavor would have been if I stuck with the orginal recipe as described.

Ingredients I used:

Flor De Cana Extra Dry (light) Rum
Smith & Cross Jamaican Rum
Fresh Lime Juice
diluted passionfruit syrup
honey mixture - honey & water
Angostora bitters

My completely personal rating: *** (3) out of ***** (5) - Mildly interesting
