Pooch's Tropical Thunder Express mugs from Tiki Farm deserve a wild and crazy cocktail, so I created a namesake recipe that combines the Mai Tai, Zombie, Black Magic and Pooch Punch into one insane concoction ...

Some great stuff here. Hurricane Hayward that Tropical Thunder Express is on my shortlist to try soon.

Had a a few people over for some drinks. Made up an impromptu menu, printed it on the laser printer at work in black and white, colored it with highlighters, and laminated it LOL. Had some Spice Honey Glazed Popcorn Chicken (a la Golden Tiki), a veggie tray and some Big Island Cookies.

Has anyone here ever made the Trader Vic's cocktail Drum of Ku? I made them for me and the Mrs. a couple of weeks ago and the cocktail kicked our asses.

1 1/4 oz Lemon Juice, 1 1/2 oz Cranberry Juice, 3/4 oz Mai tai concentrate, 1 1/2 oz 151-proof rum, 1/2 oz sloe gin, 2 dash bitters.

I split the 151-proof rum into 3/4 oz Don Q and 3/4 oz Lemon Hart. But, yeah, that's a lot of high proof rum in a cocktail.

Okole maluna! I hope you enjoyed the Tropical Thunder Express.

It was good Jim! Thank you for posting

I was looking up original TC members to see what became of them and ran across the Colonel Tiki Blog by Melintur (TC member #4, 2002) They had this drink posted

Pineapple Right Side Up
3/4 oz Lime Juice
1 oz Pineapple Juice
1/2 oz Passion Fruit Syrup
1/4 oz Falernum
1/4 oz Vanilla Simple Syrup
1 oz Coruba
1 oz Stiggins Fancy Pineapple Rum
Flashblend with 6 oz crushed ice.
Garnish with a pinapple ring, a Maraschino cherry, and a dash of fresh ground of nutmeg. Nice and flavorful but pretty tart. The Luxardo Cherry jar was still open so I gave it a little slug of the syrup.

Not especially "Tiki" but the name fits a project I'm working on. I bumped up the volumes a bit from the original to make 2 oz of tequila, keeping the same ratios

Golden Tarantula
3 fresh apricots pureed and strained
2 oz Tequila
1/2 oz Lime Juice
1/2 oz Grapefruit Juice
1/2 oz Cinnamon Syrup
3 drops Vanilla Extract
It's a good enough drink but was a lot of work and mess. Add the fact that apricots have limited availability, I think I'll try with canned apricot nectar. Probably increase the lime to make up for the added sugar in the nectar. The lime tarantula wasn't that successful either LOL

And I rounded some FireStix (Celosia) for a lava garnish. The color of the drink is a bit off. My orgeat was moldy 😕 so I used green pistachio orgeat instead.

Not a drink but I discovered a promising garnish. Remember water chestnuts? Crispy but mostly tasteless. The Thai dessert Tub Tim Grob (Red Crispy Rubies) uses water chestnuts soaked in Grenadine for color and flavor. I used POM/Hibiscus Grenadine and they were crunchy with good flavor, they would be hard to identify if you didn't know what they were. You could soak them in any syrup or liqueur, probably add food coloring. You could also cut them into bigger cubes or whatever shape you want. I'm gonna play with this a bit.

Stopped to pick up something for a long weekend roadtrip and found this, from an operation out of Longmont, CO. It's slightly carbonated, and tastes somewhat reminiscent of a Coyote Gold margarita, another Colorado pre-made drink, but I don't hate it. However, it has gotten me thinking about how successful I might be in "batching" other tiki drinks (as I did for old-fashioneds before I left)

Catching up on posting my National Daiquiri Day indulgences. Rather than go the boring route, I went with Garret Richard's take on The Mai-Kai's Derby Daiquiri, both the shaken and frozen versions ...

These tributes to mid-century mixologist Mariano Licudine's classic are both great examples of the modern techniques featured in Richard's new book (with Ben Schaffer), Tropical Standard.

no pic because everything is a mess. But, I got (albeit from concentrate) white grapefruit juice and I made cinnamon syrup. So, it's 1934 zombie time. Holy crap this is a tasty drink.

Have you wanted to make the Honey Liliko'i Foam for a Monkeypod Mai Tai but don't have a nitrous-oxide charger? Turns out you can make it with a hand mixer.
1 egg white
1 oz Passion Fruit Puree
1 oz Simple Syrup
1 1/2 Cold Water
1/2 oz Honey
(1/4 teaspoon Xanthan gum, more on that later)
I whipped it good (without the xanthan), it made a foam but not as merengue-ish as I thought as I thought it would be and in a few minutes it was starting to separate. I had just bought some Xanthan Gum thanks to Garret Richard and his book Tropical Standard. I figured I had nothing to lose so I added 1/2 teaspoon, stirred it in, waited a few minutes, and beat it again. That worked! A bit too well, it was a little gelatinous. I think 1/4 teaspoon would work better.
I'm not a Mai Tai kinda guy so I put it on Anthony Downing's Buccaneer's Passion

Garret Richard has a plan in his book Tropical Standard to reclaim the frozen drink with granulated sugar, xanthan gum, and precisely measured ice. The Floridita Daiquiri from page 94. Perfectly balanced and oh, so silky! Very interesting book

From “Sippin Safari” Gold rum, coffee and lime, I’m not sure about this one, but it’s growing on me. Maybe change the citrus to orange next time?

Also, I made up some coffee syrup, basically a simple syrup with coffee instead of water, and vanilla extract. I might be completely wrong here.F6B3DF4A-2170-491B-B372-E35D017C8CA7Image Missing: https://tikicentral.com/resize.php/uploads/79937/64d689b01287d.jpg?w=1280&h=1280&fit=max&sharp=5&s=bb93ce31e04af1e91efcf189fae73b2e

My brother was visiting this week, and on Thursday all three siblings had dinner at my sister and brother-in-law's, so I made Mai Tais to celebrate.

He brought us pineapples! It happens they were from Maui (where he and my late sister-in-law vacationed just one year ago) and very ripe, so now I'm enjoying a Chief Lapu Lapu.
