It's time for an end-of-year, super special blow-out update extravaganza on The Mai-Kai Cocktail Guide.

First, catching up on some promised updates discussed over on the fassionola thread:

The Special Reserve Daiquiri recipe is updated to adjust the measurements of the lime juice and honey mix, which could make the drink a bit too sweet.

Also, as discussed on the above thread, there's a new organic option for Raspberry simple syrup, which has been added to both the Special Reserve Daiquiri and Cobra's Kiss recipe:

Next, version 4 of the Jet Pilot ...

This update incorporates just a slight tweak I made recently that cuts in half the amount of bitters and Pernod. The result is the honey mix becomes more in the forefront and the drink takes on a sweeter edge. I believe this fits the flavor profile at The Mai-Kai, but if you like it spicy feel free to leave those amounts alone. I also updated the menu photo and made various additions to the narrative, including the recent replacement of Lemon Hart 151 with Goslings 151.

More to come ...
