Awesome, Hurricane! I know what I'm doing tonight :)

I know I speak for lots of us here in saying your site has brought much cocktail joy to my home. I visit it just as often as my treasured Beachbum books.

Thanks for all your hard work & happy holidays!

Much appreciated, happy buddha.

If I can tear myself away from the Bum's new book, I'll have two brand new Mai-Kai tribute recipes in early 2014.

Okole maluna!

Luna = Christmas drinks in the dark!

I got some LH151 for Xmas I have managed to fit in a Cobra Fang, a 151 swizzle & a Boo Loo :)

However, this might be my new favorite cocktail:

Ive had Montego Bays with every jamaican rum in my collection now:

Appleton 8 & 12 being surprisingly only ok, Myers being good, Coruba being great, Smith & Cross being interesting & strong (a good use of S&C, it blends well). Appleton VX is my fave - worth a try :)

The Bali Hai (Shelter Island) is overflowing right now (happy hour) so my wife and I walked back to the half moon inn and I fixed us a couple of ”Red nosed Zebra’s “ ala Trader Sam’s. Going back at eight for some poke and a Mai Tai.

In relation to the "Spiced Rum" thread, I am drinking Kraken and Coke - easy to make and enjoying a loooong buzz on my birthday while shooting zombies in Left4Dead2. When you have a kid, that's a hell of a gift!

Kill Devil, I think early 1950s. A google image search turns up a lot of poster and magazine ads from the early-mid 1940s showing a "White Label" Ron Merito with the same square bottle and label design. I didn't run across a mention of the "Gold Label" product any earlier than a 1952 ad, and taking a quick look at a couple of the 1940s recipes put out by the company I only saw references to the light rum. By the early 1960s the ads are depicting different label art and possible a move to round bottles so I would think your bottle predates that.

Cool find! Glad the contents are tasty!

Hayward's tribute of Mai Kai's Jet Pilot. I've never been to Mai Kai, but it must be a great place, because these tribute recipes are even better than Donn's originals. So much flavor.

Made my own version of Oh So Deadly. The color could still be darker, but I'm getting there! So here's what I did;

1/2oz fresh lime juice
1/2oz fresh grapefruit juice
1/4oz fresh orange juice
1/4oz pineapple juice
1/2oz honeymix (I used 1:1, but if you use 2:1, maybe reduce to 1/4oz)
1/2oz cinnamon syrup
3/4oz dark jamaican rum
3/4oz demerara rum
1 dash angostura bitters
