There's a bottle of orgeat still on the shelf that I brought last week, I think, but we go through it so fast, more is always welcome. I'll bring a big bottle of Cruzan Light Rum, some straws, and my new home made Chamomile Syrup to experiment with. See you there!

TT Trader Tom Tiki Socialite West Hills, CA Joined: Jan 26, 2006 Posts: 980	TT Trader Tom Posted posted on Wed, Aug 26, 2009 7:40 PM Eric, I think the coconut drink with the cracked black pepper syrup is still going to be called the Mug Cracker. I know we had another version we called the Mug Cracker, but frankly, it wasn't as good. We almost threw away the new recipe, but Kelly found it in the trash last night and she was going to re-copy it on the computer so we have a back-up of my hasty napkin notes. We'll definitely have to make more of these. Very tasty!

We'll bring some ice, plus we've finally made enough homemade syrups that we can leave them at the Rumpus Room! So we'll be bringing Sweet and Sour, Ginger, Chinese FIve Spice, and Cracked Black Pepper. Plus chips and cookies! Aloha!

I'll be there around 8:30 to 9:00. I'll bring some dark rum and a big bottle of cracked pepper syrup I made the other night. Plus some lemons and limes. Sounds like with all that pepper syrup that Eric and Manuel and I are bringing we'll have to make big batches of Mug Cracker Cocktails. I'm fine with that!

TT Trader Tom Tiki Socialite West Hills, CA Joined: Jan 26, 2006 Posts: 980	TT Trader Tom Posted posted on Mon, Sep 7, 2009 12:55 AM I was so bummed I couldn't make it to the Tonga Hut on Saturday and see Kelly make her rum creations. Looks like a bunch of the Rumpus Room folks made it and had fun judging by the pictures. I hope this Labor Day Weekend isn't wearing you out for this coming Tuesday, though. I'm bringing some new ingredients and hope to make some wicked new cocktails. I finally bought that Canton Ginger Liqueur and the St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur I've been threatening to pick up. And, I obtained a little hand peeler especially made for doing citrus twists, some seltzer, and a box of 4 martini glasses to leave at the bar. Gotta show off those twists! Don't forget the White Chocolate Godiva, Kelly, for that other drink we were working on. See you all soon!!!

In addition to the Canton & St. Germain, I'll be bringing a big bottle of Bombay Sapphire Gin, some Zaya rum, and a slew of mixers. I'm going to be using the gin for a specific drink, but if anybody wants martinis, I'm not sure if we have dry vermouth or olives...check with Kelly or Kirby on that one. Oh, and I found another big manhattan style shaker to replace my one that got cracked! See you tomorrow.

TT Trader Tom Tiki Socialite West Hills, CA Joined: Jan 26, 2006 Posts: 980	TT Trader Tom Posted posted on Wed, Sep 9, 2009 7:42 PM Another fun night! Saw some new and familiar faces. Had a great time visiting with everyone. The drink experiments continued and though we had some failures, there were also some successes. Manuel and Eric's basil syrup yielded my "Basil Haze" which was a tasty savory drink if I do say so myself. I also got a chance to make my "Menehune's Kiss" (with peach puree), "Makahiki Muddler" (with gin and mint) and "Pele's Pacifier" (with fresh squeezed grapefruit juice). I've had them on paper for a while but they turned out like I hoped. We drained half a bottle of Canton and quite a bit of Eric and Manuel's ginger syrup. We were in a ginger mood, I guess! Cas and I made a couple of epic failures towards the end of the evening, but even those drinks were fun to make. One, in particular, deserves the name "The Send It Back" but don't ask me how to make it. My therapist and I have successfully blocked the awful taste of that drink from my mind forever and I'd prefer to keep it that way. See ya next Tuesday!
