This week has been a beeeeotch so there has been liquor nearly every day. Got to do something to relax my shoulders before bed, otherwise I wake up with a stiff neck.

So, this week...

Sunday: Bloody Marys at a friend's party: vodka, tomato juice, tobasco, lime juice, celery salt, celery stick.

Monday: Vesper (full strength) starring Boodles Gin. that's 4oz of straight alcohol. without dinner. Too tipsy to cook.

Tuesday: Pink Mai Tai using cruzan cheapo rum, but some schmancy Patron orange liquor. Nom.

Wednesday: Mojitos with Pyrat rum and Goya Ginger Beer (loads of capsicum)

Thursday: Absinthe & Irish Cream (equal parts) (what can I say, I like licorice). And Celtic Cross straight up. And then Celtic Cross with some whiskey, I think it was Maker's Mark but I have a lot of whiskey and might have grabbed something else. While watching 3 hours of "Arrested Development" which was a lot funnier than I expected (although I'm sure the booze helped).

Friday: Some of this... needs a name...
http://www.instructables.com/id/Chartreuse-Chambord-Ginger-Beer-Cocktail/
1.5 oz Green Chartreuse
.5 oz Chambord
Goya Ginger Beer
A dash of Angostura bitters (optional)

and then your general cuba libre with diet or mex coke to keep up the buzz.

And now, without further adieu, now that the sun has risen, I am off to bed til this afternoon. I am a night person big time. And since it is Saturday and I do not have to work at all today, I might only drink some water and herb tea today when I get up again. Gonna make a cake for mum's day, probably shouldn't drink booze and do cake icing at the same time. It would probably not work out too well.

Tonight:

Heineken (while making honey mix)
Samoan Fog Cutter
Ankle Breaker
Navy Grog
Heineken

Mother's Day: bloody mary, coffee with irish cream.

Slowly sipping a glass of Ron Millonario Reserva Special XO

very smooth.

coffee

Melintur's "Dark Magic" as served at Thatch. Very tasty!
AF

Boy, that does look good...at least half of it does!
K

Munich Sour

There would have to be a lot more lemon and a lot less orange to make this actually sour. Couldn't really taste any alcohol in this one.
G

Boy, that does look good...at least half of it does!

That's the full drink! I'll have to double the recipe next time.

For breakfast . . . "South Pacific". Well, it does have orange juice!

My own version of a Zombie in my Thurston Howl mug. This also has my #2 Falernum recipe. Still a tab to 'clovey' but much better that #1.

My Zombie is....
1 oz Wary Nephew 126
1 oz Pineapple Juice
1 oz OJ
1 oz Lime Juice
splash of simple syrup
(Wow, I'm a bit loady right now...)
2 oz Screech rum
1 oz Cruzan light
1/2 oz my own falernum
3/4 oz passion fruit syrup

wow, now i'm really loady......hic!!!

time for Carne Asada!!

Drinking a variation on Don's coffee grog. I did everything according to the recipe in Sippin' Safari, even flaming the rums, and it was quite tasty. However, after a few sips I decided to add another tsp of the coffee grog batter and a heaping teaspoonful of coconut cream (not Coco Lopez, but unsweetened Chaokoh Thai coconut cream). It's very good. I really like the flavors of the citrus peels coming through, especially that bitterness from the grapefruit peel.
G

Yesterday . . . Kiliki Cooler. Used Fee Brothers Coffee syrup - backed off slightly on the 1/2oz to keep it from taking over - I prefer the coffee flavor to be in the background . . . almost like a silent partner.

The wife and I put the weekend to rest last night with a couple of Coconauts.
Delicious.

Surf Room Mai Tai.

No sugar syrup with no time to make it (work-fatigue) so I subbed falernum, and no orange curacao so I subbed with Triple Sec (have the blue curacao but I'm so damn sick of swamp-colored Mai Tai's...)
Turned out damn well, although I dunno what it would properly be called now. But in honour of such sites as Drinksmixer and Webtender, I think I shall dub it: "Sex on the Motherf#@!in' Beach #43".
C

Here's a little sumpn I whipped up for the Lost finale last night:

THE HYDRA

Built primarily on a mai-tai engine, but with a couple of "weirder" rums, and a splash of pineapple to make it look "oceany".
1oz Kraken
1oz La Favorite
.5oz orgeat
.5oz blue curacao
.5oz lime juice
.5oz pineapple juice
Turned out pretty tasty!

Dang, Cuc -- sure looks like an awfully strong cocktail to me?! ...It even wilted the little parasol?! :D

Very strong, but the cane flavor of the agricole, and the vanilla of the Kraken, you don't really notice the booze wallop you're getting. And you're definitely getting a wallop.
WOO!

My Boss announced he's 'leaving' today so....I'm home with a cocktail!!!

Passion Play - Mai Tai based

1.5 oz Appleton Estate
.5 Cointreau
.5 Passion Syrup
.5 fresh lime juice
Shake, strain into double rocks with crushed rocks. Think it needs something though.....Maybe it's just the appleton.

hm. Well, I guess I've fiddled around long enough -- and since all the reviews in the "Kraken" thread are muy positivo (a rare bird in itself) -- I suppose I'll finally have to pick up a "jug" of this amazing bug-eyed-squid juice over the holiday weekend at BevMo?! :D (...in Rancho Cuc, btw!) :D

A Mai Tai. Sort of..... I dont have any orange curaçao at the moment so i'm using Parfait Amour, a liqueur I do really like, not just for the flavour but also for sentimental reasons. Whilst it's not a proper Mai Tai, it does work (for me at least) because the Parfait Amour has an orange base already. It just gives it another dimension. Although that does depend on what brand. I've tried a few and they all taste different. One of my favourites was with vodka (sacrilegious, I know) and lemonade. Tasted like musk. Awesome.

Halfway thru a Rum Barrel & makin' plans for a second... I'm all Homer-drool over this...

All the way thru double Mai Tais. No Pix.

Hah... nice! I know it well. Although, I prefer the one in Redlands... I used to work at that one.
I had a lot of fun in the Inland. The missus and I used to take the MetroLink into L.A. and go on booze safari all the time. Los Feliz was best, cause you could stumble from Dresden to Good Luck to Tiki-Ti and never have to get in a car. Awesome!

1934 Zombie Punch - Last night I got my specialty syrups in from Trader Tiki and realized I had all the right ingredients for the granddaddy of all Faux Polynesian Cocktails - The infamous Don the Beachcomber 1934 Zombie Punch(as reported in the books'Sippin' Safari' and 'Grog Log and Intoxica Remixed' by Jeff 'Beachbum' Berry). I had an unbroken into bottle of Lemon Hart 151 Demarara Rum and the fresh fruit so rather than wait for the Hukilau to break all this out I decided to make one last night. Folks, I weigh 274 lbs and this puppy about put me flat on the floor! Don wasn't kidding when he said only 2 to a customer! Whew, what planet can hold this drink?!

Mai-Tai... ho-hum.

:D

Not very Tiki but still very good:

An Old Fashioned:

2 oz Makers Mark Bourbon
1 teaspoon of Depaz cane syrup
2 dashes Angustura Bitters
1 Maraschino cherry
2 small ice cubes
W

I just had a 'Mai Tai' and a Hurricane at Texas Joe's onboard the former Naval Station Subic Bay. The Mai Tai was the usual-dark rum, triple sec, grenadine and pineapple juice but with the Tanduay Superior she used I didn't care. I think Tanduay is my new favorite alcohol.

True, not very Tiki, but still classic - one of my 'go to' cocktails!! Never heard of "Depaz" can syrup though....interesting.

Not sure about this one.....needs 'something', maybe a bit more passion, use a dark rum, or leave out the J Wray 126. No name.....

.5 oz fresh lime juice
.5 oz passion fruit syrup
.5 oz 126 over proof
1.5 Cruzan amber
juice from 8 oz can of Dole pineapple.

Shake w/ ice, strain into double rocks glass with ice. Like I said, it's missing something.

Yesterday: Lava Flow (at my local Islands Restaurant for Pappy's Day) :)

Today: two Cuba Libre highballs
BBS

A little something I'm working on for an upcommin gathering

1 oz Lemon Hart 80 proof
1 oz Home flavored 80 proof Coconut Rum
1.5 oz Pineapple Juice
1 oz Lime Juice
.5 oz Cinnamon Syrup
.75 TV Orgeat
1 tsp Cruzan Black Strap

It starts tart and ends up a little sweet and surprisingly you can taste each flavor.
I think I got a keeper now I just need a name.

In a small electric green metal cup (from the 1960s):

1/4 of a shot glass of Ti-Toki liqueur
3/4 or more of a shot glass of Schweppes Indian Tonic Water
A couple of bits of ice.

Stir

And pour a dash of Rose's Lime Cordial over the top

.5 oz seven tiki, 1oz doorleys XO.

I watched Dead Snow last night, so it was only fitting to make a Zombie.

The movie stunk... but the drink KILLED.

Mr. Bali Hai . . . Remixed version. MUCH better than earlier version - fresh lemon juice makes a BIG difference!

And drinking it out of the original mug ain't bad either!

I bet you feel more like you do now now than you did when you came in.

Another experimental drink...

juice from 1 lime
2oz velvet felernum
1oz Westerhall rum
1/2oz Wray & Nephew rum
dash Angostura bitters

It's not bad, not bad at all. I found the felernum and originally made Corn'n'Oil, but I found it too sweet and thick for my taste. The lime juice changes the balance, and the Wray & Nephew adds a LOT of attitude and complexity.

I'm bound and determined to devise good recipes for Wray & Nephew, stuff that keeps the essential character but doesn't taste actually toxic. The character is fascinating, but overwhelming.

I'm having a Jungle Jetsetter, recipe taken from Tikiyaki's "Swingin Sounds for the Jungle Jetset" album.

A Dark 'N' Stormy, or a Dark and Stormy. I'm not using Goslings, so it's whatever that one is. Still good though.
