The Tortuga:
1 oz LH 151 (or hamilton 151)
1 oz Havana Club 123-proof (extinct product, book suggests either 1 1/4 oz havana club seleccion de maestros or 3/4 oz 151 proof cruzan)
1 oz sweet vermouth
1/2 oz orange curacao
1/2 oz white creme de cacao
1/2 oz lime juice
1/2 oz lemon juice
1/2 oz orange juice
1/4 oz grenadine

Shake everything with ice cubes and strain into a glass filled with crushed ice. Garnish with a lime wedge.

From Potions of the Caribean.

It's not bad, but it's not my favorite. I think a little more sour and a hair less creme de cacao would improve things, but I haven't gotten around to playing with the recipe yet.

The Babalu appears on a 1971 TV's menu from the Dallas Hilton in POTC. The description and image are identical to that of the voodoo grog earlier in the book; it's probably the same drink under a different name.

1 oz gold puerto rican rum
1 oz rhum agricole vieux
3/4 oz lime juice
3/4 oz white grapefruit juice
3/4 oz pimento dram
1/4 oz honey
1/2 oz passion fruit syrup
1 egg white
nutmeg
8 oz crushed ice

Place all except nutmeg in a blender. Blend for 20 seconds. Pour into large snifter. Dust with nutmeg and garnish with mint sprig and pineapple stick.
