Bands, vendors, etc. Triple digit temps this weekend so lots of swimming and lots of drinking. Intentionally much smaller and more controlled than San Diego's Tiki Oasis which is held in August.

The reason I use the quotes is because Mexico switched over to HFCS and now only uses cane sugar for the stuff they sell to gringos. http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-11-11/the-mexican-coca-cola-myth-its-almost-american

They have lots of classic cocktails and it is worth checking out.

G GentleHangman Member Stuart, Florida Joined: Jun 23, 2006 Posts: 464	G GentleHangman Posted posted on Sat, May 24, 2014 5:08 PM From Beachbum Berry's Potions of the Caribbean, page 181 "Myrtle Bank Punch". There are two very different drinks here, one by Trader Vic and the other by Don the Beachcomber. I tried the Beachcomber's first and was, admittedly, disappointed. This drink used dark Jamaican rum, gold Jamaican rum (I used Coruba and Appleton Estates Special), lime and white grapefruit juice, Don's honey, soda water and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters. To me, it lacked the complexity and craftsmanship I've come to expect from DTB. In short, I was unimpressed. Then, I tried the Trader Vic version using Lemon Hart 151, maraschino liqueur, lime juice, white sugar and grenadine. I must admit this is the first drink I've made where Lemon Hart 151 flew solo! Nontheless, once it watered down a bit, (my first sip was a shock to the system), it was quite tasty and the reason for using Lemon Hart 151 alone became apparent . . . it's depth of flavor played well with the other ingredients. I made another. . . but now I have to take a nap!

G GentleHangman Member Stuart, Florida Joined: Jun 23, 2006 Posts: 464	G GentleHangman Posted posted on Sun, May 25, 2014 1:34 PM A "FrankenMai Tai" There was nothing good on TV so I thought I'd play around a bit behind the bar. I usually have a good quantity of my home-made Mai Tai Mix in the fridge (orange Curacao, Orgeat and simple syrup) to speed up the process when I crave a Mai Tai. Today, I used 1/2 oz Senior orange curacao, 1/2 oz. orgeat and 1/2 oz of cinnamon syrup and 1/2 os of white grapefruit juice and a dash of Angostura bitters and 1 oz of fresh lime juice. For the rums I used equal parts Coruba and El Dorado 5 year old. The FrankenMai Tai is alive! I bet you feel more like you do now now than you did when you came in.
