The guys here in ATL make it mostly in the same vane as Beverly Hills. They squeeze in a lime, use the concentrate and use their own Trader Vic's branded rum, which very likely is Meyers. When it is a big night (Dragon Con or big parties), they premix in HUGE batches, minus the lime.

Interestingly, he said the concentrate has pineapple juice, and grenadine in it. Knowing the guys here in Atlanta, they aren't tiki fanatics, but just guys who have been working at TV for a long time and know their specific craft using the tools/supplies they have been given very well but don't know the why's behind it. So I am going to say he isn't in the know and may be making shit up.

The concentrate is an interesting beast, same as their Navy Grog concentrate. Gonna have to ask the boys at the bar about it. When they have run out of supplies (and they do), they improvise and make their own stuff in-house. So, they know how to replicate in a pinch.
