A Spiritous Journey through Remixed - From the Astro Aku Aku to the Zadaran Storm - Tiki Drinks and Food

A AdOrAdam Member Wolverhampton, UK Joined: Jun 16, 2013 Posts: 630	A AdOrAdam Posted posted on Fri, Feb 28, 2014 2:26 PM I was inspired so I made a Krakota :) Before I added the coffee I found it a bit sweet, after I added the coffee I found it a bit overpowering at first (my float was a bit more of a 'dump'), the cold coffee edge in a new taste I've not experienced in a cocktail (coffee liqueur yes, cold coffee no!). I added a little honey mix & bam it came round to my tastes. I hope to have a little coffee tiki cocktail voyage of discovery for a few weeks - so far I rate the Mr Bali Hai highly, it's a bit simpler to make too. Also regarding passionfruit syrup: if I am making a drink that is passionfruit syrup heavy (is more than 1 shot, like a Hurricane) I use passionfruit juice & sugar syrup (in a ration of 3:1 or 2:1) to get the same effect. Or I just put half a passionfruit in if it's shaken (I dont mind the seeds). Anyone else do either of these? 2 questions for you Mr Destro100: Are you revisiting some of the drinks as you go? Do you have any addition tips to share? Second time I make a drink I usually appreciate it a little more. What order are you doing the drinks in? In looking up the Krakatoa in Remixed tonight, I noticed the previous page was the Hurricane - (H is before K in the alphabet) & twigged you'd missed some out - do you plan on making these at a later date? Cheers! Adam
