N'' nui 'umi 'umi Tiki Socialite La Mirada Atoll Joined: Feb 21, 2011 Posts: 2718	N'' nui 'umi 'umi Posted posted on Tue, Jul 7, 2015 10:37 PM After dinner this evening my wife and I felt the need for a good tropical drink. A Rum Babalu was in order. I inadvertently grabbed a bottle of Bundeberg Passion Fruit (sparkling) beverage instead of the ginger beer called for in the recipe. I thought it was tasty though a bit sweet but my wife loved it. My wife sips slower then me so I wrapped it up wid a Longboard, my fav beer. Cheers [ Edited by: nui 'umi 'umi 2015-07-07 22:41 ]

Tried one of those, not a fan; the grapefruit is too heavy, the resulting product is not refreshing and the IPA qualities are overwhelmed.

M mikehooker Grand Member (3 years) Austin Joined: Jul 17, 2014 Posts: 1211	M mikehooker Posted posted on Wed, Jul 8, 2015 5:58 PM Trying my first Shark's Tooth. Used Mount Gay Eclipse and Appleton VX. Was planning to try this drink with an Appleton 12 float but I haven't replenished my stock of that yet and wanted to give it a shot already. The bum calls for 3 oz of ice in a blender so I assume it's supposed to be a slushy type of drink. The big blender was dirty so I used the top down mixer instead which certainly didn't bring the drink to the intended consistency. Still, when I took a sip out of the mixing cup it was tasty. Poured it in a glass and topped with the Appleton float. Wasn't bad. Maybe the A12 will kick it into overdrive. Overall just too much ice for my liking, especially following the recommended sipping technique, rather than using a straw. But I suppose if I used a proper blender that issue would be resolved. Anyone else ever do this one at home? What's your take?

Thanks for your observations. I want to try one now to see what happens. Looks like you included the optional maraschino cherry jar juice. Cool photo. I love the glass, LP cover and Hi-fi in the background! Nice to see someone enjoying vinyl with their cocktails. Cheers!

Owning a vintage shop and priding myself on always having quality drink ware in the store, I spend quite a bit of time scouring antique malls and other places for the goods and then of course am troubled with the decision of what I get to keep and what I have to sell. I think The Below Decks wins the prize for best photos in this thread though.

M mmaurice Grand Member (1 year) Joined: Feb 25, 2015 Posts: 92	M mmaurice Posted posted on Fri, Jul 10, 2015 7:29 PM I don't have a picture of it but. . . Just got a copy of Frankie's Liquid Vacation. Made their version of a Mai Tai using Hamilton 86 for the Demerera and it was in my opinion pretty damn good. It was much closer to the taste of what we get at TV here in ATL than a 1944 recipe using either Denizon Merchant's or a Clement/Appleton 12 blend. Gonna have to try some more from the book.

Yesterday I went to Bootlegger Tiki for the first time. This is a Poison Dart. I really liked Bootlegger. Had a fun time! All the drinks are good and the place was nice. They stray away from the regular drinks you would find at most tiki bars (although they do have some classics) but they use every liquor and add some pretty unique ingredients. Palm Springs was fun and I got free stuff everywhere I went. Fun town to visit!

He rated it a 9.5 out of ten. I've never rated anything above an 8.5 including $100 Mai Tai, jet pilots, zombies, etc til I made one of these a couple weeks ago. I gave it and still give it a solid 9. 10 is the unobtainable. So basically this is about as perfect as a drink can get. Great work sir! I just hope my supply of Kohola Bay and LH151 don't diminish too soon.

I just hope my supply of Kohola Bay and LH151 don't diminish too soon. Mahalo Mike! Be careful you don't tip that over. That would be a shame. I only have a handful of "10" ratings in my book ... Zombie, Barrel O' Rum, et al. My reasoning is that in my mind, these are perfect cocktails as they are and could not be improved, hence the 10 rating. I've never tasted a "10" Mai Tai, but Vic's original with 17-year-old Wray & Nephew might come close. You never know, though. Someone may one day turn something up to "11". One louder.

Crosswind is Navy rum, green chartreuse, falernum, lime, Angostura bitters, and allspice. Sombody put together a nicely crafted bar and bar menu here.

I've recently bought both their "peppered" and "restorative." (I already own their Botanical.) I like the "restorative" better than the peppered. While both are good, to my taste, I clearly prefer the Uncle Val's Botanical. So these are my one-and-only purchases of these two bottles. These are tasty sippers, which is very weird for London Dry gins, but not for New World gins like Uncle Val's or St. Augustine. Okole maluna!
