Lots of drinks last night with some friends and neighbors. Few photos to tell the tale. Made my first attempts at a Mutiny. Pretty damn good. This drink takes a long time to make and it's difficult to batch up since it's over 8 oz of liquid plus a cup and a half of ice and the top down mixer cup only holds so much. So started with one and shared it with a buddy. And then another before more folks arrived.

Once a few people showed up I wanted to make a punch so I went with the Blood of the Kapu Tiki subbing pineapple for grapefruit and tangerine juice for OJ. Was a good way to kill off the bottle of Seven Tiki that's been collecting dust. Everyone enjoyed it, I thought it was a little too fruit punchy though. Adding a few more dabs of pernod to my cup helped.

Friend brought over a homemade bottle of Kahlua so we made some Castaways with that.

Then went back to Blood of the Kapu Tiki just in time for the ball drop, this time using half Flor De Cana gold and half Trader Vic dark. Plus I didn't have enough simple syrup so went with about 1/3 sugar and 2/3 cinnamon syrup. Made for a much tastier drink than the first batch. People really loved that one.

Fun night. No champagne though. What was everyone else drinking?
