Bartenders can compete in regional contests (including Fort Lauderdale, Toronto and Los Angeles) for a chance to go to the finals in St. Lucia next year. More info on the competition on The Atomic Grog ...

Had a half ounce of lime juice left decided to get rid of it with a Grog, using EH Navy and red label LH151. Used up the last of the Lemon Hart which makes me sad. But it means I get to break into my secret stash and grab a bottle of yellow label LH which makes me happy.

3x 3 dots and a dash for company. I asked my wife to pick up some pineapple slices (for dashes) for me at the market but she forgot. When you are in a pinch for a garnish fire always saves the day.

Normally for Halloween we do the expected Zombie or Shrunken Skull, but given all the fun syrups I have again from BG Reynolds I decided to put the Gardenia Mix to use! Pearl Divers and Deep Sea Divers, but not the ingredients for Skin Divers.

Looks tasty, Keith.

Still trying the other non-grapefruit Zombies. Had the South Seas version after Donn's midcentury recipe last night; tonight is the Tonga Room's, in my Tonga Room mug.

Thoughts on the gardenia mix?

I love it! Though I'm no connoisseur, I thought the taste of it was fantastic – very rich, but fun with a steady climax of flavor...at least that's what I recall when I tasted a small amount before mixing. I've actually tried every version of the Pearl Diver but the one I'm "supposed" to, which is the one listed on the back of the bottle and on the outside of box from Jeff Berry's Pearl Diver glasses. That particular "finalized" version is a bit more refined with reduced amounts of everything.

Otherwise, I've made a Pearl Diver's Punch, Deep Sea Diver, and Skin Diver (which was the worst and actually doesn't call for gardenia mix but instead vanilla extract and heavy cream). The one thing I'll say is that I don't get the creaminess that I expect(ed) of the gardenia mix once all the ingredients are batched and blended together. But, prior to this I've only ever made a Deep Sea Diver tribute with the butter/honey mix and I can't recall my thoughts. I've had a Pearl Diver from Tiki Ti but also didn't have that creaminess I expected, but I don't even wanna guess what they use to substitute the gardenia mix. So there's definitely the factor that maybe Keith doesn't drink enough anymore to compare – if I had a Zombie or Mai Tai beforehand, then went to Pearl Diver, I might have noticed the vast contrast in profiles.

Also it's important to remember this is a coconut-base and not butter, so that's different too. One thing's for sure, I'm very excited to use more of it and play around!

Or, we could just stop the divisiveness and all get along. Naw, I'd rather have a Shrunken Skull. Working on a new tribute recipe for The Mai-Kai's classic.

I finally got myself some Everlast tumblers and inaugurated them by toasting mighty Ku with an Atomic Grog 151 Swizzle. I went with Quince's reccomended Xaymaca-Coruba blend as my Kohala Bay sub and it really hit the spot.

Also finally got a chance to use these little Clement-branded swizzle sticks they were giving out at the Long Beach Tiki Social

Currently drinking a new cocktail I finalized the other day (using the pic from the other day, it's pitch black here now).

Tentatively called "Ginger and Merry Cran" thanks to the name suggestion from Greg Easter on the FB group "Tiki Recipes"

(note, I'd normally have put it in a more festive glass, but I really wanted the color to shine through here)

1oz Hamilton Black
1oz Lightly Aged VI/Cuban
2/3oz Lime
1.25oz Cranberry Ginger Syrup see below
2oz Ginger Beer (I like Gosling's but any spicy one will work)

Mix everything but the ginger beer in a shaker with crushed ice, shake to chill and dilute.

Open pour into DOF glass/mug, top with ginger beer, give a gentle stir, garnish with mint and candied cranberries.

*Cranberry Ginger Syrup-
1C Water
1C Sugar
1.5C FRESH Cranberries
1.5" piece of ginger, peeled and cut into thirds

Dissolve sugar in boiling water as per simple syrup. When sugar is dissolved add cranberries and ginger. Once they pop (~3min) pull out a dozen or so cranberries and chill them (for garnish). Turn down the heat and simmer until the rest of the cranberries have broken down completely. Remove from heat and once cool strain out the solids.

This will keep for a month or so in the refrigerator.

This syrup is also dynamite with gin and ginger beer.
