Yeah a Test Pilot =/= Jet Pilot. I'm not sure why sometimes people say they're related at all, because I've never seen any recipe that links the two.

Ahh in Beachbum Remixed there is no Jet Pilot, only a Test Pilot recipe that mentions that some people call it a 'Jet Pilot'. I went with the Sippin Safari recipe (via Pegu Blog) and it was pretty damned delicious. Not sure what my Falernum is supposed to taste like but the whole drink was very complex to make and taste

I also made a Zombie. I'm not sure if I like it, which is weird because I've enjoyed them in the past. I know it was meant to be strong but I felt that the alcohol was better masked in previous Zombies I've had at bars... I used the Beachbum Remixed Zombie (Original) recipe.

I didn't have white grapefruit for the Don's Mix, so I used my regular pink one... perhaps that was off.

Or my Falernum was weird (although my Jet Pilot was a success).

Or my rum mixes didn't blend so well... I used Bacardi 8 for the Puerto Rican, LH151, and Appleton V/X for the dark Jamaican.

It was nice, but it wasn't DELICIOUS which is my benchmark for a good tiki cocktail :wink:
