Trader Vic Grog. Passion fruit is a little overpowering. Need to try again with homemade syrup or something better than Monin. |

I have recently being using small cartons of passionfruit juice & adding sugar syrup to balance against the other citrus juices in the drinks For example in Trade Vics grog I would use 1oz passionfruit juice & 1/2oz sugar syrup against the 1oz lemon juice. Cheers! :) |

Crafted a couple of Rum Babalu’s for me and my better half (2 each). Almost as good as those made by Andrew at Tommy Bahama’s Newport Beach. Had a fair Mai Tai at the Elephant Bar (La Mirada). You gotta tell em to hold the grenadine. |

Yeah that's the exact recipe I used last night, slightly extra from the first recipe I ever used which comes from Blair Reynolds' blog: 1.5 oz black strap I had a hankerin' for the bitters so I used your above recipe to the full extent. |

After unraveling the history of another lost Mai-Kai cocktail, I enjoyed a Puka-Puka Punch from "Potions of the Caribbean" last night ...
The Puka-Puka Punch, a Don the Beachcomber drink from the 1930s, inspired The Mai-Kai's Last Rites, which appeared on the menu from 1956 into the 1980s, when it was retired. The Last Rites has been resurrected in recent years for special events. The full story and recipes are posted here: |

I love the Jungle Bird Luna! What dark rum are you using? What else with Campari are you drinking?
How is the El Dorado 21 thePorpoise? Have you got a 12 /15 year comparison in the works? I had one tiny lime that yielded 3/4 oz of juice... so I'm having a Mai Tai :) |

AdorAdam - I used Coruba dark and Cruzan Black Strap in my Jungle Birds. I also have been making Negronis with the Campari. That is about it. When I was in Mexico earlier this year, there was a bottle of Campari. I made some drinks with Campari and Mezcal, but only a couple of us liked them. |

So jealous Ad! The Porpoise, Ein Prosit! Mai Tai Throwdown tonight. Finally got my hands on some B.G. Reynolds' orgeat thanks to a recent trip to the Chicago homestead. Tonight was the first chance to try a head-to-head Mai Tai tasting comparing Blair's product with the homespun vetsion. By a nose, the wife and I give the nod to Blair. Time to tell all my Chicago friends and family that the price of coming down to visit me in the Sunshine State is a bottle of Reynolds' orgeat! I also picked up a bottle of the B.G. hibiscus grenadine and am looking forward to giving that a spin. |

I never thought I'd have the opportunity to enjoy both a Trader Vic drink and a Tiki Ti drink at The Mai-Kai. Tonight was such an occasion, an event featuring a flight of cocktails from "Beachbum Berry’s Potions of the Caribbean" ...
Also on the menu: The Queen's Park Hotel Super Cocktail from the Queen's Park Hotel, Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. A few more photos are posted here: Story and more photos coming soon: Okole maluna! |

On the left, in the Michelob fluted glass is a Virgin Sour, recipe from the defunct Honolulu Restaurant in Alexandria VA. Got the recipe from a Maryland/VA tiki forum somewhere a long time ago. On the right, a Lemondrop Vodka martini sans sugar rim. My seven year old daughter cheesing "today's term is 'Photo-bombing' I believe" both photos. howlinowl |

Porpoise, Spaten Octoberfest is a favorite and Hofbrau Original is very tasty. But I just drank about 35 beers (about 5 caught my attention) so my feeling about beer right now is, blarf. Especially Belgians, which are the ones I'm burping and they aren't my favorite yeast strain. Blarf. aloha, tikicoma p.s, should have said sampled 35 beers (work related) I'm not crazy enough to drink that many pints, but still more than enough. [ Edited by: tikicoma 2014-09-24 22:25 ] |

35 'work related' beers? I'm always up for new things, even samples, that sounds fun :) Starting the weekend early (no reason except I started a grapefruit): Navy Grog (with Bushmills instead of rum) - suprisingly good! Ancient Mariner - not as good a Navy Grog but still ok :) |
