Excellent drink

From Tales of the Cocktail

De Mysteriis Don Bahamas, not sure if this is the title but maybe?!

1 oz Licor 43
1 oz Plantation dark rum (I used Coruba)
2 oz coconut pineapple nectar (I used pineapple, orange, passion nectar) so I added 1/4 oz of coco real.
.75 lime juice
1 dash bitters
graded cinnamon on top
great drink.

Mahalo once again for posting the recipe Hilda. Gonna ruin my liver but I luv it.
Cheers
After posting the above my curiosity got to me I had no idea what Licor 43 was.
Hope you don’t mind that I am sharing what I learned on Wikipedia and other sites;
Licor 43, or Cuarenta Y (i) Tres (Spanish and Papiamentu for "43"), is a Spanish liqueur. It is made from citrus and fruit juices, flavored with vanilla and other aromatic herbs and spices, for a total 43 different ingredients (hence the name). It is 31%abv / 62 proof and is a light bodied, sweet liqueur. In color it is yellow tinged with a touch of gold. The aroma is sharp, warm, and complex, with vanilla up front; and then tangy sweet fruit, spices, and an aged rum like presence. The flavor is similar to the aroma; vanilla, complex intermixed spices, tangy fruits, and hints of citrus, carried by a flavor similar to aged rum.
I’m anxious to try this stuff.

David, I just bought this bottle of Licor 43 from Total wine for around $25. Really like the two glasses on the sides. There are a lot of recipes for tiki cocktails that ask for Licor 43, the best one is called Beachbum's Own from Beachbum Berry Remixed, excellent drink. Let me know if you need recipe.

Hilda, I plan on snagging a bottle of that Licor 43 this weekend at Hi Times. Those glasses are cool too.
We are having Red nosed Zebras this evening. (pic on page 369). I used Kraken in this drink for the first time and it was quite tasty. I don’t have Bacardi so I usually use Flor De Cana or some thing similar. I really enjoy the sweet-tart taste of this drink plus It looks very festive. I’ve seen em served in coupes and also in a martini glass. Look classy but they’re gone in one gulp.
Merry Christmas

Red-Nosed Zebra
-Makes 1 cocktail
1.5 ounces Bacardi 8 rum

1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice

1/2 ounce fresh lime juice

1 ounce agave nectar

1 ounce strawberry purée

Crushed ice,
3 cranberries, 2 mint sprigs, for garnish
Add all ingredients in a Boston Shaker (except garnish), fill half full with ice, and shake vigorously for 10 seconds.
Strain into a margarita glass filled with ice. Garnish with a mound of crushed ice, cranberries, and mint sprigs to look like 2 green antlers, cranberries for eyes .

I've been pairing it with Hamilton 86 and Merlet triple sec for the best Mai Tais I've ever had. SO. MUCH. FLAVOUR.

It makes a great daiquiri and Barbados Swizzle as well! I need to try it in more recipes.

[ Edited by: hiltiki 2016-12-26 12:08 ]

This picture has been tormenting me. What is your painkiller recipe? I see limes, coconut rum and bitters, which are not typically in a painkiller but could see them working in the right proportions. Also, a hand juicer? Making drinks for that many people, you oughta have something more industrial!

Meanwhile, putting one of my Christmas gifts to use...

Mike, the original recipe was from Atomic Tiki Punk, and he called it Kraken Killer.
It was his take on a Pain Killer. I changed his recipe a little. I should have called this drink Kraken Killer. Anyways, I make this drink every year and my guests just love it.

for 8 drinks
16 oz orange
16 oz pineapple
4 oz coco real
4 oz coconut liquor
16 oz kraken
6 oz lime
8 drops bitters
I didn't mind using the hand juicer, it just worked out, I made the drink pretty quickly and it was ready 30 min before the guests arrived.

Tonight we feature an OG Long Beach Tiki drink - the Captain's Grog, from the Hukilau Room of the Captain’s Inn, Long Beach, CA, circa 1962.

½ oz fresh lime juice
½ oz grapefruit juice
½ oz maple syrup (grade A only)
½ oz falernum
½ oz orange curaçao
1 oz soda water
3 drops vanilla extract
3 drops almond extract
¾ oz dark jamaican rum
¾ oz light rum
¾ oz gold puerto rican rum

Shake everything—except soda—with ice cubes. Then add soda to the shaker and stir. Strain into a double old-fashioned glass with ice cone, or just fill with fresh crushed ice.
