Does anyone know the name and/or recipe of the drink that used to be served at Trader Vic's in the seahorse mug? I know I've seen the drink/mug before, pictured on an old Trader Vic's drink menu, but don't know what was served. This is my first post on this (or any other) message board. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks. |

Aloha Aku, Welcome aboard! (and classic name) Unfortunately, I don't know, but the Samoan Fogcutter comes in the vase tiki mug which has a depiction from the drink menu cover. |

If I am not mistaken, I think the drink that comes in the sea horse mug is in fact called a Sea Horse. [ Edited by: PiPhiRho on 2004-08-18 02:00 ] |

Jen, thanks for the bump - my new seahorse mug should be christened in the appropriate fashion. Someone (SDT?) dug this one up earlier today - I don't know enough about mixology or Trader Vic's to know if it sounds right or not, but the guy who posted it is from Hawaii:

Mystery solved...almost! Tikicleen sent me a link to an old Trader Vic's Waikiki drink menu, which had a nice pic of the seahorse mug and a description, but it was too small to read. A quick search on TC brought this up (thanks Sabu!): It's big (1200 x 1600), so here's the relevant portion: For the hard of seeing:
The only thing left to discover is what the liqueur was? |

It's one of the drinks, like the Octopus, that was only served at the HI Trader Vic's, after it broke from the rest of the chain. I've never seen a recipe for the Sea Horse. |

You're an expert mixologist aren't you...any suggestions/ideas what the liqueur might be (going on what the other ingredients were)? |

Cripes, it could be anything. HI didn't follow the rest of the chain's recipes. Might be apricot or peach brandy. Experiment until you find something you like. |

Just a hunch, but I wonder if the liqueur was Pernod since only a "dash" is added. |
