The Coruba mix was really lacking. The drink didn't have its usual magic. I also just used the "new" LH151 in place of Hamilton at a friends party the other night and it doesn't hold up. Everyone still liked/loved it, but they don't know what they're missing. Hard to beat the S&C/ED12/H151 power house. Also, just for fun(k), do a Doctor Bird/Xaymaca split in a Mai Tai. Holy awesome! I was using my homemade toasted orgeat and Senor Curacao and it was divine. [ Edited by: mikehooker 2019-06-16 12:39 ]
