I have been there recently, but I don't remember seeing the maraschino liqueur. Probably because I was looking for fallernum and different rums. I'll have to try them again. I did find some Trader Vic's Rock Candy and Passion Fruit Syrups at Miratti's (I think it's called), right where Hollister turns into State. I think they had the T.V. Grenadine there too, but you are probably better off ordering online because they were $6.99 and $7.99 respectively. Online from T.V. is quite a bit cheaper at $4.75 a bottle, but then I'm not sure what their shipping rates are so it might be a wash. If you are in need of stocking up, maybe we could place an order together and save a little cash. It's too bad that Santa Barbara doesn't have a "real" tiki bar anymore. There are a few places that have bamboo and tiki like decorations, but they are a far crw from the old Don the Beachcombers. I would just like a place with a nice quiet, comfortable, polynesian atmosphere with damn fine beverages. Kind of like The Mercury Lounge or Firebird, but with a full liquor license. Anywho.... back to mixing! I've still got pages and pages of recipies to get through. :wink: -T.J.
