A double Mai-Kai Big Bamboo ala' Sippin' Safari. Actually a rather dry drink, but still satisfying. Add an ounce of honey mix and this would be an excellent Rum Barrel. |

I really dig most amari and try to rotate what I have on hand. Lack of shelf/counter space and a wife who constantly fights the bottle count keep me from having more than 1 or 2 at any time. I think Campari is good stuff, artificial color and all. It's typically the only amaro a restaurant bar has and I have made it my mission in life to teach the backwater bartenders of Melbourne and Palm Bay how to mix with the stuff. Still amazese to go into an Olive Garden or a Carabbas and see vacant expressions on the faces of Florida bartenders when you order a Negroni. I have little use for Aperol. Too much orange, too little bitter, and I am not paying $30 for a 10% abv liqueur. Ramazotti is about the most anisette-forward amaro in regular rotation. I recall Averna as being a bit too licorice-angry although It has been a couple of years since I have had it. I have developed quite a fondness for absinthe over the last couple years so I should probably revisit Averna. Cynar is a kryptonite for me. Mix me up something with Cynar or serve it to me straight with a lone ice cube and I am rendered powerless but content. I rarely encouter Amaro CioCiaro but I snap it up when I do find it. I have never had vintage Amer Picon but I take Darcy O'Neil et al at their word when they say this is the best commercial substitute out there. A Picon Punch with this stuff is stellar. Fernet Branca = Awesome. And maybe it's the native Chicagoan in me but man do I love Jeppson's Malört. Now that we can finally get Lemon Hart 151 here and I don't need to bug Chicago friends and family to bring me se when they visit, a bottle of Malört is now the cost of paying me a visit during the brutal northern winters. Try as I might to conserve that bottle, it's usually gone in about 3 days. |

Every once in a while you try a new drink & it hits the spot - tasty & not too similar to what you've had before, you have another... I had 2 Sharks Tooth last night, 1 more tonight :) |

last night had the signature Between the Sheets from the famed Sapphire Room at the restored 1926 Floridan Hotel. from the archives: "The historic Sapphire Room has been brought back to its glory days! During WWII the service men stationed in Tampa called it the “sure fire room” due the bar’s wild reputation. Dim blue lights, a hand-crafted wood bar, and live entertainment gets you into the mood to really step back into time. The bar features the Floridan Hotel’s original signature martini “In Between the Sheets” and is open Thursday through Saturday 4:00pm – 3:00am." |

Last night I introduced a fellow tiki friend to the non-tiki whiskey-based Sazerac. It was a big hit for reasons of balance and flavor, very nice for sipping. The Sazerac goes way back to the 1800s, was updated a bit through the decades, and is a damn fine gateway drink to whiskies in my opinion. Simple syrup makes it a bit on the sweet side, but it works well especially with a good rye whiskey. It actually works fine with relatively inexpensive and easy-to-find Jim Beam rye, but higher-end ryes only make it better. |

Hey Mike, good morning. Dats a nice pic . What/how do you muddle your mint ? Why are you not growing your own? -Mint, and that’s a whole nudder subject. How come you keep your limes in that plain vanilla glass bowl? Wid your talent your limes deserve a fantastical south seas looking vessel created by de masta , you! |

Seeing as the Sazaerac has been mentioned 121 times on TC, I propose the Saz should be considered a honorary tiki drink :) Anyone second the motion? [ Edited by: AdOrAdam 2013-10-06 12:58 ] |

Not Tiki, but a great cocktail. I like a Sazarac with plain old Old Overholt, but Rittenhouse also shines in that drink if I'm fortunate enough to have a bottle. I have a great 100% rye 10 year rye called Masterson Rye (my namesake) that I usually reserve for sipping, but I think I need to see how that works in a Saz. I have some Bulleit too which is a high rye bourbon, and probably needs a spin in a Sazarac as well. |

Mexican coffee topped with muddled cream and nutmeg on a cool California evening. Used Trader Vic’s Kona coffee liqueur instead of kaluau so technically is it a Hawaiian coffee? [ Edited by: nui 'umi 'umi 2013-10-12 00:23 ] |

I tried it and did not care for it, but I know a few people who do like it. Actually I might have only tried the bacon maple syrup, but I am not much of a maple syrup, peanut butter or chocolate fan so I might not be a good judge :) [ Edited by: lunavideogames 2013-10-13 16:44 ] |

No 1) Tradewinds - not the Trade Wind Cocktail, the lemon, Coco Lopez & apricot brandy one - good! No 2) Old fashioned with Bulliet bourbon & orange - good! No 3) Double Blood & Sand - double measures (1 shot of scotch didn't seem enough), tequila float & bitters (as served in Tiki Ti, Tora tora...!) - good! |
