I’ve been hunting for Pandan leaves for awhile but couldn’t find any until today. I still have plenty of the Pandan syrup left, so if these turn out good I’ll definitely be making more.

Hmmm... You boil them in some water and make a syrup out of them, it’s incredible. The woman of the house has been raving about them since our trip to Chicago back in August. They came out pretty damn good, if I do say so myself. The Smith & Cross was her favorite. She normally thinks it’s too bold, so these must be good if she’s requesting more Painkillers with S&C. http://www.facebook.com/thephantmatics http://www.facebook.com/maroonedpodcast [ Edited by: davidphantomatic 2018-01-02 17:56 ]

It had a nice rum taste with a tinge of citrus and pineapple. A drink that I'll make again.

Did you find the pandan leaves growing somewhere or at an ethic market? I found it at a local Asian market. It seems to be the only one in town that carried fresh Pandan leaves. According the recipe the shelf life is only about a week or so, so I batched some more last night.

BB Bam Bam Tiki Socialite NEPA Joined: May 13, 2016 Posts: 506	BB Bam Bam Posted posted on Tue, Jan 9, 2018 4:38 PM Christened the new (old) zombie glasses with the closest approximation to a Zombie I could manage without a demerara rum, albeit with a fresh batch of Falernum #9 - which is absolutely freaking delicious just by itself. Definitely missing the Demerara flavors. Good news is I think PA residents can now special order single bottles at the state store, instead of having to buy an entire case of the more obscure offerings!

But today it was "Tequila Sunrise" by The Eagles. I decided to drink it out of my head (admittedly not Tiki :wink: ) But who's fathead idea was it to buy a "craft" grenadine colored with elderberry juice instead of FD&C Red #4?

N'' nui 'umi 'umi Tiki Socialite La Mirada Atoll Joined: Feb 21, 2011 Posts: 2718	N'' nui 'umi 'umi Posted posted on Sat, Jan 27, 2018 1:38 AM Stopped by Tiki Ko (Bakersfield, Calif.) on my way home from Yosemte. My wife had a Saturn and a Funky Bird. Both were delicious. I still had 2 hours of driving ahead of me so I had 1 Hinano (so sad) followed by dinner at another establishment - Tiki Ko does not serve food unfortunately. I luv Tiki Ko. Tiki Ko was designed and built by TikiDiabo (Danny Gallardo) from SoCal and you feel the Tiki vibe even before you walk into the place thanks to TikiTonys mural out front. Staff told me that Danny is designing and building the expansion downstairs. Supposed to start in a few months. Cheers

HH Hurricane Hayward Grand Member (1 year) 16 miles from The Mai-Kai Joined: Jun 07, 2008 Posts: 1913	HH Hurricane Hayward Posted posted on Mon, Jan 29, 2018 10:44 PM While eagerly awaiting the release of the expanded and enhanced edition of Beachbum Berry's Sippin' Safari, I decided to revisit one of Don the Beachcomber's classes and tweak it a bit with some modern rums. CUBA KULA, from the personal notebook of Ray Buhen dated 1935. I consider this to be Don's proto-Rum Barrel, containing many of the hallmark ingredients that later went into that classic. The Sippin' Safari recipe calls for Myers's dark Jamaican, Lemon Hart Demerara, and Bacardi 151 rums. I took the liberty of using Coruba, Hamilton 86 and Plantation O.F.T.D., adjusted the proportions of some of the other ingredients, and came up with two very good alternatives ... V.1 1 oz lime 1 oz honey 1 oz OJ 1 oz Coruba dark Jamaican rum (or Appleton 12) 1 oz Hamilton 86 (or Lemon Hart Demerara) 3/4 oz Plantation O.F.T.D. 2 dashes Angostura bitters 6 drops Pernod V.2 1 oz lime 1 oz honey 1 oz OJ 1 oz Coruba dark Jamaican rum (or Appleton 12) 1 oz Hamilton 86 (or Lemon Hart Demerara) 1 oz Plantation O.F.T.D. 4 drops Herbstura (50/50 mix of Herbsaint and Angostura bitters) While the differences are slight, they're definitely discernable. Both feature less lime, more honey and more rum than the original. I found V.1 to be tart and spicy with just enough rum to be dangerous. The Pernod is more prominent in this version. V2 has a more classic Barrel profile: Rich, sour and sweet with a very potent rum kick. Okole maluna!
