I wanted to try out some Egyptian limes that I was given recently. They look like small grapefruit and have a wonderful scent.Round two I’ll make with Persian limes. The Egyptian limes are too mild and barely perceptible in a zombie. Cheers

Pat, I need to branch out like you the next time I'm at the Tiki. I love to use passion fruit flower as garnish. I planted 2 in my garden 3 years ago when we just move to this house. One of the best decisions for the garden. Now is on full blossom and I take advantage of that. Makes a great garnish and is free!

I say style because I know for sure this isn't in the same ballpark as the real deal, there are at least 4 mystery bottles that go into that on top of I think two different syrups, neither of which actually look like orgeat to me. 1 oz gold Puerto Rican rum 1 oz brandy 1 oz gin 3/4 oz orgeat 1 oz lemon juice 1 1/2 oz orange juice Pulse all with crushed ice and pour into collins glass. Float with 1/2 oz Kijafa.

Should have known, it's a german restaurant. On the upside, I got me a pin to honor the late, lamented Don's, home of the first tiki market I ever went to. Afterwards we went to the Bamboo Club for some proper cocktails and I got a Puka Punch. Finished off the night with a house daiquiri and a Pet Sounds at the tiki bar hidden inside Beer Belly.

I was thinking on using it as a sort of replacement for run in some virgin cocktails. Yesterday was my first experiment and my partner and a friend tried this virgin "Mai Tai". The Virgin tai: -50ml Sirop de canne -15ml red curacao -15ml orgeat -20ml fresh lime juice -10ml fresh lemon juice Was a bit on the sweet side but I see potential in that sugar syrup!
