Can anyone recommend a type of gin for tiki drinks? I have enjoyed gin in drinks (mixed-no martinis), and that is the extent of my experience with gin:( But I figure I should start learning. I want to try Ray's mistake some day. Any suggestions/guidance would be much appreciated:)

I have a huge bottle of Kirkland Brand Gin. Works perfect.

BTW, I do the Bali Hai (New Orleans) Version Fogg Cutter
2 oz orange juice
1½ oz fresh lime juice
1½ oz sugar syrup
1 oz light
1 oz dark
1 oz brandy
1 oz gin
4ml almond extract (I think this is more than 1/2tsp)

Here in ATL at TV, it's pretty good though the sherry they use definitely makes itself known.
