FYI, The Mai-Kai will sub grapefruit for pineapple upon request. It's indeed sweeter, but extra bitters does indeed help. Bonus tip: I haven't updated my blog yet, but it's pretty clear from all my research that the Barrel is pulse blended with crushed ice, not shaken with cubed ice as the Bum stated in Taboo Table. It's a subtle difference, but it can make for a richer and frothier drink (especially if blended in a spindle mixer). Okole maluna! Interesting. Will try that tonight. Making a large-ish batch for a few dinner guests. Some painkillers as well so the blender will already be out.
