Hi all, this is my first post! (Except for my intro post.) This is a kind of rum and rye old-fashioned. I'm convinced there is a real classic drink somewhere with this mix of ingredients, although I haven't quite nailed it yet.

This has:

2 oz 100 proof rye
1 oz Rhum JM Gold
1/4 oz Bonal Gentian
1/4 oz dry white vermouth
Barspoon or so simple syrup
Small dash of chocolate bitters. Stirred over ice and strained over a death star ice cube :)

It was really tasty. Next time I think I'd drop the vermouth and up the bonal by the same amount. Pretty boozy too - it would be fine with a half oz less rye!

I know this is not exactly tiki, but the JM rhum is a real big gun ingredient for me, and I love drinks that show it off.

EDIT - If anyone's interested, I think I nailed the ingredients for this tonight!

1.5 oz rye; 1/2 oz Bonal; 1.25 oz Rhum JM Gold; small squirt of simple syryp to taste (err on the side of caution); and a shy shake each of chocolate and lemon bitters.

Sure. I've posted it on the "Best Rum Barrel Recipe" thread:

FYI, I've tweaked the recipe since the above photo and removed the orgeat.

Hi all. This is my first post since joining the site ... and most definitely digging it!

So, this isn't exactly "right now," but I couldn't resist sharing this photo. This is a pour of Black Tot that I got to try at False Idol in San Diego, shortly after it opened. Drinking this, I felt like a mini celebrity!

This weekend seemed like one long bar crawl...

Singha with a shot of 11 Tigers Rum at Osha Embarcadero:

This stuff is BIZARRE. The bartender told me that "the old people back in Thailand make this." They take either rum or whiskey and put it in a container with herbs like lemongrass, galangal, etc. and let it infuse for about a month. The first sip was how one would imagine butterscotch Robitussin would taste and each sip after that tasted different - I could see someone not liking it at all but drinking the whole thing trying to suss out if they did or not. I told the bartender that I was glad I tried something so unusual but that it was really not to my tastes. He closed his eyes, shook his head firmly, and said, "I do NOT like it."

Winter Tiki Holiday at the Hotsy Totsy in Albany:

Ridiculously good. We're going to get the Samsara next time.

Instead of the "Napa wine syrup" I used a 75:25 mixture of Bonal and simple syrup because I'm lazy (and the aromatic wine, with a touch of gentian, works quite well in this). One of my favourites.

The Caribbean from POTC. Didn't feel like making a batch of ginger syrup so I replaced the regular cola with some ginger cola I saw at the grocery store.

Was listening to Adrian's podcast discussing the new Lapu they're making with the old recipe. They seemed real proud of what they're serving. Would love to see pics of the new interior.
