Here on our local freecycle list, people often offer something called a "mystery box." What's in it? Who knows! Come pick it up and find out. That got us thinking...what about a cocktail "mystery box"? Here's what we imagined:
We're locked & loaded with the first recipe to share, so if anyone's interested, sign up for a mystery cocktail in the mail. At the least, you might discover our next favorite drink, courtesy of a fellow refined TC'er! |

On a stack of Grog Logs I am not gonna do anything with any address other than send drink recipes! I mean if I asked for a SS# and what ever rums you have in the house I can see a different side, but oh well guess it is a bust! Bummer! Would have enjoyed getting a drink from a fellow Tikiphile and share our love of booze! [ Edited by: Brice 2009-08-15 02:12 ] |

I'll PM Palapala our address, so she'll be ready, once she make the drink, and posts the results. Should we post the recipe, along with the picture of the card, drink and comments? |

Here's the results of the recipe for "Big Island Ice Tea" from Brice in Kailua-Kona. One comment - We would probably omit the simple syrup - its a bit too sweet for our tastes, but very tasty otherwise. Big Island Ice Tea Sunday, August 16, 2009 1 oz Pusser's Rum Shake and pour over Ice - serves 2 Make me something Tripical. You know,a mai-tai,with 3 shots of rum!

You two couldn't have made our day any better, and that says a lot since it was the premiere of Mad Men! The photos are great! we are so glad you liked the drink and we will lighten on the simple syrup! We used Monin syrup, but that might have been the difference, bottom line you are a wonderful couple and glad we could pollute your livers! Have fun sending your recipe to the next in line! |

Me: "Honey, I have a new drink for you to try!" Palapala, just got your card, today (cool!). We'll try the 'Dirtnapple', this weekend, when we go to the houseboat (that's where my "serious" bar lives). That'll give me a chance to acquire the song, so we can imbibe in the prescribed ambiance. Will post results, soon after. |

Palapala's postcard and the excellent "Dirtnapple" drinks :down: My "pineapple princess", sipping her Dirtnapple, on our boat, the 'Leaky Tiki' :down: DIRTNAPPLE, by Palapala 1/2 oz. lime juice I used Cruzan Coconut and Cruzan Estate Dark rums, and Finest Call Passion Fruit Puree. Very fruity and tasty; we both loved them. The first drink was gone too soon. But since I'm a fan of darker rums, when I made our second round, I had to try mine with Coruba dark Jamaican. Not so good, in this case; Palapala's original recipe was better. We'll try the 'Big Island Ice Tea', as soon as I buy some Licor 43. OK, just need to get a postcard to send my recipe... if someone new wants it, say so. Otherwise, it goes to Brice! |

Yay, your thread is alive, again, Brice! So glad you enjoyed the 'Fateful Trip', Murph, and honored that it "made the list" at the Waikiki Womb. It was debuted to fellow TCers the Tropical_Icebergs and Rumbuddy (and husband), last summer, during a cruise on our houseboat, the 'Leaky Tiki'. "The rum's the thing..."
