I found a copy (undated) of a Vic's menu floating around, and there are several drinks listed that I haven't seen on others-- though it's quite possible that they used to be common at Vic's and I'm just out-of-the-loop. Here they are, with menu descriptions if given:

Samson's Dilly
A real Chest Expander

Siegert's Bouquet
Sieget's Rum of Trinidad and a blending of liqueurs with Lemon make this a tart yet sweet cocktail

Jamaica Float
For devotees of fine Jamaica Rum

(I've seen this one before but have never seen a recipe, and it has a cool mug pictured)
Babalu
Old debbil Rum conjures throbbing drumbeats and black magic

Kona Nightingale
Named after the little braying jackasses of Honolulu... and it has a kick like one!

Barbados Red Rum Swizzle
A real "Guzzler"

Tortuga
Sir Henry Morgan's Own-- rugged but right.

Falkland Islands Warmer
A concoction of Drambuie served in the Falkland Islands when those good people have a chill and are upset

Northwest Passage
A salute to Kenneth Roberts who made Hot Grog famous in his immortal book by this name

Trader Vic's Pau

White Witch

Does anyone know any of these? This menu also lists some great stuff I don't normally see on these, like the Ramos Fizz, Pimm's Cup (nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4!!)
