I made four Mai Tai’s and drank 2 and a couple of Longboards. Made me post this on the “lime shortage” thread

Last night I had my first Backscratcher in the Tambu Lounge at Disney's Polynesian Resort. I was surprised how well the float actually floated until the very end. It was a nice finish to a pleasant drink, although I personally seem to find it very difficult to really enjoy cocktails in a well-known and high-volume tourist spot. The bartenders are friendly and awesome -- they always try to do their very best with a somewhat limited selection of spirits and mixers which are provided to them by their employer. They make a very decent Mai Tai version with what ingredients they have available - I've had that a couple of times in the past when I visited. Everything is served with a smile, really a nice place to drink, especially at those times when its quieter and neighboring Ohana restaurant isn't slammed with diners. (Ooooh, wood-grilled delicacies!)

AceExplorer, you may already have seen this on my blog, but for anyone else who's curious I have a pretty faithful Backscratcher recipe:

I've had that drink on nearly every visit to the Polynesian, and I have a backscratcher collection to prove it!

Olole maulua!

Yessir, thanks, I do remember seeing that. With so many other cocktails of interest, I have never gotten around to making or ordering a Backscratcher. Your web pages are a great resource -- the combination of recipes, photos, and backstories are amazingly helpful and fun.

Made "Good Head" based on all the info from Hurricane Howard, here.

http://www.slammie.com/atomicgrog/blog/2014/05/25/cocktails-reach-new-heights-of-creativity-at-miami-rum-festivaj\

Just scroll down till you find it.
It's a combination of several rums, fresh cucumber, apple juice, agave nectar, lime juice.
Interesting drink, I liked it, a little sweet, I don't like sweet drinks, next time I will put less agave nectar. also, not sure how thick I should cut the cucumber, it asked for 6 pieces... any ideas?
B

I can't help hitiki, sadly.
But, happily, am enjoying a Ray's Mistake right now!

A Mai Tai followed by a couple of beers.
Btw, the Barbados Special rum I used the other night surprised me -I have heard that it was tasty. it makes for a rather tasteless Mai Tai. I am partial to Bajan rums and I made tonights batch with Doorleys.
Cheers

Martinez Cocktail. No picture, it's my second and I don't feel like futzing with a camera.

As good as these are, though, I can see how the dry martini became more popular.

Haha, my friend on Instagram took a pic of that same vase with the caption "Gecko sent me this vase by mistake. Now I have to send it to its rightful owner..."

Thank him for not keeping it
:)

Hang10tiki, that's a beautiful piece!

I'm unsure what to call it... Is it a mug, is it a vase, is a sculpture?

Is it designed to be drank from / does it have glass sections on the inside? :)

I was stuck at my parent's house this weekend and only brought over a few rums and mixers and this came up as something I could have made. Now I am glad I stuck with the Shrunken Skull, which was a hit with the family.

You should invest in some phials to store part/all the components of cocktails. I use them to store barrel aged cocktails.

They can be quite handy when you are at something awful, like a dry wedding.
A

Am I the only one that had to go look up what a "phial" is? Wow, pretty cool idea.

Google > "Phial" > Images

Neato!

Of course, there's also the famous "Beer Belly" and the "Wine Rack" as shown here:

Even more neato!!!

Finished with Sidewinder's Fang, Bum Barrel, and 151 Swizzle. I wasn't terribly pleased with my 151 swizzle, as though something were lacking or though it was a little watery.

no no- he's eliminating the "drinking" part, and converting entirely to booze IV drips plus the occasional tiki-style jello shot...

Easier than butt-chugging.

First time I’ve tried Painkillers at home. Onolicious!

Try some Kraken Rum in those and see what you think David.

For a friends party I made a batch of
Orange Peel infused Rich (double strength) Simple Syrup
bottled it up and smacked a label on it.

This is very tasty for many drinks, but it rocks an Old Fashioned or Mai Tai!
KD

Sounds good --- btw, how many of y'all do the simple syrup/orgeat combo, as called for in the orig recipe for Mai Tais? I've never personally drank an orgeat that I felt needed to be sweetened, so it's a 1/2 oz for me.

No time for drinking recently, it's been a hectic couple of days.

My partner & brand new baby girl are coming home from hospital tomorrow for the first time.

Celebratory cigar & a bourbon on the back porch :)

^^^^ Congrats on the new member of your family!

I had two nice mai tais at the faculty end-of-the-year party, today. :D

Congratulations, indeed!

Hail to the new Queen!

Congratulations to you and the Wahini Ad!

Drinking a Cruzan Blackstrap Corn 'N Oil to break in a fresh batch of homemade Falernum. Sublime.

Decided to make a Mai Tai with Grand Marnier, Appleton 12, and El Dorado 15 to celebrate my contractor finally finishing the first room in my new condo.

Congrats AdorAdam!
