S shamefultiki Member Joined: Jul 09, 2009 Posts: 68	S shamefultiki Posted posted on Sat, Aug 13, 2011 11:48 PM Tonight I made a Fog cutter (original recipe) and a Nui Nui - over the last year and a half I have been training hard (no, seriously) to learn as many classic recipes as I can, I want to open a Tiki bar here in Vancouver BC....it rains 8 months a year, we need this! I must say that the classic Donn recipes suit my taste far and above the majority of Trader Vics. I find the lemon, light rum, orgeat thing has nothing on the lime, dark rum and Pernod - not to mention a bit of pimento and honey mix. Curious to know what you think?

Curious to know what you think? well, the Mai tai has neither lemon nor light rum, the scorpion has more OJ than lemon, and probably the best known pimento drink is Trader Vic's formulation of navy grog. TV sure did like his orgeat though, and DtB sure liked his grapefruit/cinnamon/honey. I'd say my palate craves each of those tastes from time to time.

S shamefultiki Member Joined: Jul 09, 2009 Posts: 68	S shamefultiki Posted posted on Tue, Aug 16, 2011 10:48 PM Tonight my wife opened a can of coconut water then couldn't finish it so I threw in some diplimatico, lime cordial, 151 El Dorado, Pernod, dons mix #2, grapefruit, orange and a dash of falernum. Inspired but not great as I tried to hard to not waste the coconut water and used too much. Last night however - mixed up both a "Three dots and a dash" (one of a few personal favourites') and a Jet Pilot (one of the other), both were great! Tomorrow night we fly into LA as we get ready for Tiki O and we will be sipping "Rays Mistakes" for half price at the Tiki Ti...........won't get back to post but read this then and that's what I'll be drinking "right now"!
