HH Hurricane Hayward Grand Member (1 year) 16 miles from The Mai-Kai Joined: Jun 07, 2008 Posts: 1905	HH Hurricane Hayward Posted posted on Wed, Jul 27, 2022 7:37 PM Clairin - the raw and grassy cane spirit from Haiti - is so new to the U.S. market, there aren't many great recipes out there yet. It's fine in small doses, but not easy to employ as the centerpiece of a cocktail. That all changed when I discovered 96 Tears, a simple Daiquiri riff by Nathan Robinson. Lime juice (3/4 oz), orgeat (3/4 oz) and Angostura bitters (3 dashes) pair perfectly with 2 oz of Clairin. I love the blend of funky, sweet, sour and bitter flavors. Four out of five stars.

HH Hurricane Hayward Grand Member (1 year) 16 miles from The Mai-Kai Joined: Jun 07, 2008 Posts: 1905	HH Hurricane Hayward Posted posted on Mon, Aug 8, 2022 8:15 AM in reply to mikehooker I'll need to keep an eye out, though it's very rare to see Velier bottles in the wild down there in Flori-duh. Nathan created the cocktail using St. Benevolence, so I defer to him on the reasoning for using it.
M mikehooker Grand Member (3 years) Austin Joined: Jul 17, 2014 Posts: 1211	M mikehooker Posted posted on Mon, Aug 8, 2022 10:17 AM in reply to Hurricane Hayward Pretty sure the FRS store carries the unaged and even the aged expressions so you should have distribution down there. The original four are Sajous, Vaval, Casimir and Vaval. They also released a variation called Communal which is a blend of all four at a slightly lower proof that works great in cocktails. It's worth picking some of these up to explore the bizarre side of Haitian rhum.

The defunct Jamaican rum (a descendant of the legendary Dagger and Appleton Punch) is a key ingredient in most of the classic tropical drinks at The Mai-Kai. Will a combination of Worthy Park 109 and Appleton Signature do the trick? We'll see ...

Elegant, dry and delicious. The rum is surprisingly rich and funky for a "light" rum, owing to its source of unaged sugar cane juice rum from Mauritius. That's complemented by a 3-year-old molasses-based Barbadian rum from the Foursquare Distillery.

Most famous for pioneering the paper parasol garnish (and the iconic Blue Hawaii cocktail), Yee should also be remembered for this enduring classic and it's unique backscratcher garnish. A spinoff called the Backscratcher has become an icon of its own for 50 years at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort in Orlando.
