Let's re-name this: "What Were You Drinking - When Tiki Central Was Down?"

I was enjoying my new Mai-Kai mug from Tiki Diablo with a Big Bamboo ...

I love the way he sweats when holding the drink ...

And now, for something completely different, tonight I was in the mood for a classic and also looking to honor Martin Cate's upcoming foray into the world of gin. So I consulted Dr. Cocktail, and realized that I had yet to mix The Straits Sling since acquiring a bottle of kirschwasser.

Dare I say it tops the Singapore Sling? Much more subtle and elegant, it's a totally different style of drink. It doesn't beat you over the head yet delivers lots of great flavors. Perhaps my favorite gin drink of the moment.
