I'm a big gin fan, but don't see it in very many tropical drinks. Anybody have any favorite tropical drinks that include gin?

Today is my b-day and the wife got me a funky set of cocktail glasses I'm dieing to try out!

happy bday! you gotcher self one of them 'cool' wives! :)

finkdaddy, the recipe on this board for the fogcutter has 1/2 oz gin, but you can't taste it terribly. when i tried it first with bombay sapphire the gin flavor totally overpowered the drink. since then i have tried it with bottom-shelf gin ansd it's closer. also this recipe has been problematic to get authentic tasting - according to willtiki i may have to up the orgeat ante.

a not-necessarily tiki drink that i have not yet tasted but want to try is the 'jasmine' per http://www.drinkboy.com/Cocktails/recipes/Jasmine.html. it apparently tastes like grapefruit but actually contains no grapefruit. cool or what!

Jasmine
1 1/2 ounces gin
1 ounce Cointreau
3/4 ounce Campari
1/2 ounce lemon juice

Shake with ice. Strain into a cocktail glass.
