Red Robin had a Martian urine sample back in the 90's...

I'm enjoying a 5 y/o Juan Santos from Columbia. Like it a lot, I'll have to pick up a bottle of the 12 y/o and give that a try.

Happy Friday

Trader Vic's Kona Coffee Liqueur on ice

hiltiki posted on 01/19/2013

Warning not tiki.

Went to Barnes and Nobel last night, the last one left in the West Valley. I like reading Imbibe magazine and checking out the latest chichi drink recipes. Here is one that sounded good mainly because I have a bottle of Creme de Cacao and hardly ever use it. I made it tonight and it is quiet nice. If you are a bourbon drinker you might like this.

2 oz bourbon, I used Maker's mark
3/4 oz lemon juice
1/4 oz Creme de Cacao, I used Hiram Walker.
1/4 oz vanilla sugar syrup, I used Monin.

Shake with ice and pour in a bucket.

Very good, incidentally, I don't know the name of this drink, I just memorized the ingredients. Maybe someone who has the magazine can tell me what it's called. Otherwise I am calling it "Delightful night".

H10, have you bought any lately? I thought that had I bought the last three available at my local Ralph's over a year ago. I forget where I heard it but it was supposedly discontinued. I found it far superior to any other coffee liqueurs when I crafted a Mexican Coffee. I gave up looking and started using Patron coffee/tequila liqueur. Then I stumbled on three dusty bottles of the trader's C L at Ralph's and bought em all and they said they could get no more. I'm down to 1/2 of my last bottle.
Cheers

Like thePorpoise, I too am feeling Funky.

After examining both of Donn Beach's Doctor Funk recipes (from "Intoxica" and "Remixed"), I took a shot at reinterpreting The Mai-Kai's Dr. Fong ...


Doctor Funk, 1937


Doctor Funk, 1953


Dr. Fong, from The Mai-Kai, circa 1956

Check out the back story on Doctor Funk and recipes for all of the above drinks:

Blue Kahuna bastardized version of Ray's Mistake (with a tip o' the hat to Ickytiki):

3/4 oz of Torani passion fruit syrup
juice of one small lime
1/2 oz Sonoma vanilla-almond syrup
1/4 oz Sonoma Syrup grenadine
1 oz Cruzan white
1 oz Tanqueray
2 oz club soda
LH151 float

. . . not bad at all :) I should have used more ice, cut the passion fruit down to 1/2 oz and up-ed the vanilla-almond to 3/4 oz . . . next one . . .

Pretty much the only way I make them now. I'm not ruling out the possibility of a version I'd like better but it's the best I've tried with rums I can get where I live.

HH That SFC looks delicious. Nice photography too. Are you using the ambient light thats's in your tiki room?
Mahalo

Hurricane Hayward posted on 02/03/2013

Yes, that's just the lighting in my home bar, nothing fancy. Reds and blues mainly. I try for a realistic look. However, I do get better shots when I turn on the overhead lighting just across the room in the kitchen area. It it's far enough away to illuminate the bar just enough to get a clear picture but not too much to spoil the ambience. If your bar is too dark to get a good shot without a flash, you may want to play around with some distant lighting.

Nice! I still have one left from '09. I bought a case, almost. The salesman just about cried because he didn't know it was there. I said "make it 23." He was happy again.
