THE most essential Trader Vic product IMO is the Orgeat Syrup. You have to get some.

Also, the Navy Grog mix has a very cryptic recipe on it that is incorrect. Well, it leaves out a dash of simple syrup and grapefruit juice and a mint sprig. Do that and it will be correct.

I am so upset, would have loved to go :( I am going tonight. I Curnetly Live in Sloane Square But we plan to be moveing over to some where tropical, so we are closer to the Tiki Cult. I will be going tonight to Trader Vic's I have booked a table as I heard it is almost allways packed. By the way do they sell all of the stuff + what you suggested, At trader Vic's? Because It pricey to order online!

Befor you start to think I am a Sloane Ranger, The house was inherted from my Grand Dad. The tax is far to pricy! Thats why I am moveing to a tropical Island, sigh...

If you're paying postage on that stuff, the weight's gonna' add up REAL fast= REAL money! Save some dough and SKIP the rock candy syrup- as any veteran here can tell you, home made is the same and the recipe is so "simple" (boil some water, add some sugar @ exactly 50/50 ratio, stir 'til dissolved add a drop or two of vanilla if you wish and bottle/chill/use). And yeah, the ORGEAT's good but I prefer Torani's (double up on Navy Grog instead & refer to Swanky's note above) . Charge!

...err..."SLOANE RANGER?"...is that UK slang for a (edited before even being typed by kavaking)? Not that there's anything wrong with that...

A "SLOANE RANGER?" is someone who more than likely lives on Sloane Square and shops at Harrods and other Expensive shops. Here is a example of a Sloane Ranger, Princess Diana Once lived on Sloane Square thats how stuck up the people that live there.

By the way! I went last night! it was relly good. I so wanted to take some of the decor home with me! I was temted not to slip a few mugs into my bag as I need more for my tiki bar! It had a nice feal to the place its a shame none of my friends who went with me were not into tiki, cheekytiki I wish you came :(
