Been working on a menu all week for a luau we're throwing on Sunday. My wife says I'm being too ambitious because along with all of the food we're preparing I have planned a giant batch of Rum Barrels, a pitcher of coconut mojitos (to use up a bottle of coconut rum that mysteriously came into my possession), and then I'll be making Mai Tai's, 151 Swizzles, Fogg Cutters and Painkillers to order. That's not too much on my plate whilst hosting, right?

Anyway, trying out a variation of the Swizzle mostly modeled after the Atomic Grog's V.4 and it's awesome.

Hamilton 151 and 86 proof, Smith & Cross Navy Strength, fresh lime, homemade grenadine, Demerara and cinnamon syrups, plus Velvet falernum, fresh grated nutmeg and a cinnamon stick. Delicious.

I usually use Lh151 and Kohala Bay as well as homemade falernum but whn entertaining a dozen or more people I skimp where I can so long as the end result is still yummy. And this one is excellent.
