Tonga, check the last 20 or so posts and I think you'll see that this thread doesn't seem to have arrived at a final consensus, and I'm not sure that's ever going to happen, but what's posted is considered acceptably close. But there are easily a couple of nights of material here in the last 20 posts for you to test at home. I tried a couple of the recipes, but I'm not finished, and I won't really comment on the recipes until I go back and re-test and come up with something decent to say.

Since I just recently acquired some of that "very fine high-end" Barton's rum, it's back to the bench in the lab to start all over again. Thank gawd testing and trying this stuff is fun to do.

A "real" Ray's Mistake is on my bucket list the next time I'm out in LA. That along with dragging my 82-year-old mom into another real tiki bar. What a hoot - she rolls with it and is a great sport and enjoys the drinks. I found that out when I took her to Frankie's Tiki Room and also The Hukilau three or four years ago. I wish she could live forever...
