After 3 years I finally raised four iddy biddy limes that yielded 1.5 ounces of juice.
Hopefully next years harvest is a little more plentiful. First drink using said juice...
Stiggins Daiquiri
Followed by Big Bamboo
The juice is definitely more bitter than what I'm used to so will have to adjust recipes accordingly if that's what I'm to expect in the future.
Rest of my week in review...
Outriggers
Was my first time using Plantation Barbados. I prefer Mt. Gay in this drink but still refreshing.
Don's Beach Planter
Didn't care for this one very much. Perhaps I need a different brandy. That and the pineapple dominated and it didn't come across to me as "complex" as some Grogalizer users state.
2070 Swizzle
I've revisited this a few times and it just doesn't sing like...
151 Swizzle (Atomic Grog V4)
Yes, I broke out the Kohala Bay. What's the point of having nice things if you can't enjoy them?!
Mai Tai
After only trying a couple drinks with the Latitude orgeat, I gotta say I prefer BG Reynolds. I'm sure with minor tweaks to the proportions I could make the Latitude stuff work just as good, but as a 1/1 swap in the Mai Tai's I've grown to love, it just doesn't get the right balance I'm looking for.
I'm thirsty. What's next?
