I then returned to The Atomic Grog and whipped up a fairly accurate replica ... Recipe and rating coming soon.

I am leaving Florida right now. I would have done one more day at the Mai Kai, but since it was cold we went to Disneyworld. Just 3 nights at the Mai Kai, I wish I had more time. They made me dance and everything. Great place. We will be back soon, hopefully for that last big event. Thanks for the birthday wishes! [ Edited by: lunavideogames 2014-01-20 05:19 ]

Remarkable in that it is somewhat close in style to the "Reverb Crash", which to me, is one of the most refreshing drinks out there. I was out in my patio wok-cooking large quantities of Chinese food, and that Hawaiian Eye just hit the spot!

Your are correct, The Stirrings is somewhat weaker and I find you need to use more to get that kick of flavor but in combination with a muddled orange slice in an "Old Fashioned" I think it works I like it also when making a Blood Orange Mai Tai, but it does not replace stronger bitters in other cocktails.

A fine drink!
