Some drinks from this weekend

Piña Humosa
my riff on the Scorpion Reef (posted above)
1/4 oz Mezcal
1 3/4 oz Tequila
1 oz Pineapple Juice
3/4 oz Lime Juice
3/4 oz Ancho Reyes
Top with 5 dashes Angostura Bitters
This is something I could drink under a palapa on a beach in Mexico. On the Caribbean side of course, that would make it slightly more Tiki.

Blackbeard's Severed Head
By Tom Morgan and Kelly Hiphipahula Reilly. From "The Home Bar Guide to Tropical Cocktails". If you don't have this book yet what are you waiting for???!!! I mixed half of this recipe.
3 oz Kraken Spiced Rum
2 oz Appleton's 12 Year Rum
1 oz Ancho Reyes Liqueur
2 oz Torani Passionfruit Syrup
2 oz Lemon Juice
2 oz Lime Juice
Shake vigorously, stir an a big splash of Club Soda. Add a float of Mount Gay Eclipse Black Overproof Rum. Garnish with a flaming lime shell and a sprinkle of cinnamon for sparks.

I love this drink! With ≈16 oz volume and about 6 oz alcohol it probably should be 3 drinks instead of 2, I'm a lightweight it made me a bit tipsy LOL

Tongan Swizzle
By Marie King
3 dashes Angostura Bitters
3/4 oz Lime Juice
1 oz White Grapefruit
1/2 oz Cinnamon Syrup
1/4 oz Pimento Dram
1 1/2 oz Rhum J.M. Agricole Blanc 50
Swizzle vigorously, top with several dashes of Angostura Bitters. I mixed it at 1.5x, delicious!
