After a quest of syrup-like proportions, I couldn't just pick one but instead went for several. http://www.kaiserpenguin.com/whats-your-favorite-tiki-drink/

You might find this Top 10 thread useful. http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=19070&forum=10&hilite=top%20%20tiki Some for me: Mai Tai of course, Pain Killer, my own bastardization of a Chief Lapu Lapu and Spindrift, and an adaption of Pieces of Eight with more rum and orgeat.

Since our SoCal visit last December I've been enjoying Lapu Lapu's in the home-bar and fondly remember Ray's Mistake and that apple-pie tasting drink from the Tiki Ti (151 Swizzle?). All time faves are Planter's Punch, Rangoon Gimlet and, of course, The Reverb Crash.

T telescopes Tiki Socialite Palm Springs Joined: May 06, 2007 Posts: 619	T telescopes Posted posted on Wed, Feb 9, 2011 8:12 PM Surprisingly, the Navy Grog. With Pimento Dram, it is such a uniquely wonderful drink.

G GentleHangman Member Stuart, Florida Joined: Jun 23, 2006 Posts: 464	G GentleHangman Posted posted on Sat, Feb 12, 2011 6:22 PM I tend to lean toward Don the Beachcomber's Rum Barrel and Jet Pilot with the Jet Pilot getting more play because I lean toward the lazy side of bar tending.

KD Kill Devil Member Chicago Joined: Feb 16, 2011 Posts: 284	KD Kill Devil Posted posted on Thu, Feb 17, 2011 7:55 AM 1934 Zombie Punch. Works every time. Also the Luau's Jet Pilot, which is quite similar in make-up. Lately I've been really enjoying a Mai Tai with one oz Lemon Hart 151, one oz gold Jamaican. Strong but delicious.

A luau jet pilot is more like a 1934 Zombie. You know what? I'm going to light up, right here, right now, and smoke! [ Edited by: telescopes 2011-02-17 18:18 ]
T thePorpoise Tiki Socialite Tampa Bay Joined: Jan 23, 2011 Posts: 1519	T thePorpoise Posted posted on Thu, Feb 17, 2011 7:31 PM I thought a regular jet pilot was already basically a '34 zombie with more cinnamon. what did the Luau do differently?
KD Kill Devil Member Chicago Joined: Feb 16, 2011 Posts: 284	KD Kill Devil Posted posted on Fri, Feb 18, 2011 9:05 AM The Luau's recipe is in Beachbum Berry's "Sippin' Safari". I'd venture to say everything in the Jet Pilot is also found in the Zombie, but the Zombie has a few more ingredients
