S Sunny&Rummy Member Melbourne, FL Joined: Jun 13, 2013 Posts: 601	S Sunny&Rummy Posted posted on Sat, Jun 7, 2014 4:34 AM For the money it's hard to beat Boodles. Used to be able to get it for about $17 which was a steal, but even at $21 or so it's a good value. Over the last couple of evenings we have been mixing up all sorts of tasty things trying to decide on a couple of drinks to batch mix for Hukilau. Aku Aku Zombie, Tiki Ti Puka Punch, and a couple of different Rum Barrels have all advanced to the semi-finals. . .

I changed up the recipe just a bit tonight: 1 1/2 ounces Cockspur 12 1/2 ounce El Dorado 15 1 ounce lime juice 1 ounce passion fruit syrup 4 slices of jalapeño Shake with ice and pour unstrained into a tall glass. Garnish liberally with basil. Sweet, spicy and addictive. Here's the full recap of all the cocktails at the festival: http://www.slammie.com/atomicgrog/blog/2014/05/25/cocktails-reach-new-heights-of-creativity-at-miami-rum-festival/ Earlier, I started to get into The Hukilau spirit with one of my favorite Mai-Kai classics, the Big Bamboo, served in last year's official mug by Tiki Diablo: Big Bamboo recipe here: http://www.slammie.com/atomicgrog/blog/2012/06/02/mai-kai-cocktail-review-the-big-bamboo-features-big-flavors-unique-history/

Thanks, Peter I would start with 1 ounce each of the bourbon and rum, 1/2 ounce falernum, 1 1/2 ounces of lime and a couple dashes of bitters. Then adjust the falernum and lime to taste.

W wizzard419 Member Joined: Jul 10, 2013 Posts: 341	W wizzard419 Posted posted on Fri, Jun 13, 2014 3:27 PM I'm not sure if they are actually closed... on their social media stuff (never trust a regular website since they rarely get updated) it says they closed a few months back to renovate. It could be they are still renovating or the other, typical method, where they shut down to renovate and then close shop.
