TBD The Below Decks Member Joined: Apr 26, 2013 Posts: 718	TBD The Below Decks Posted posted on Fri, Dec 11, 2015 1:32 PM I had a sip once at Petty Cash Taquiera. I enjoyed, but I have to be honest and say that I think I prefer chartreuse as an ingredient in a cocktail where it can achieve a balance that better suits my palate.

Seems like a nice joint - was it as bright as it looks? Drink provides their own ceramics, so, yeah, they made my jet pilot in a Smuggler's Barrel. I asked one of the barkeeps half-jokingly "Does Martin Cate know you took this?". To which she responded "Who's that?: :P They seem to be somewhat freeform with the vessels they serve their drinks in, including a hollowed out white grapefruit that housed an Italian Greyhound and, the odd-faced mug they served Nikki's zombie in (with a full pineapple crown to garnish.) The mixology was great and they do appear go to lengths to make all their own syrups and press their own juices in-house.

M mikehooker Grand Member (3 years) Austin Joined: Jul 17, 2014 Posts: 1211	M mikehooker Posted posted on Wed, Dec 16, 2015 8:24 PM Out of limes so needed to find a recipe with lemons that doesn't call for passion fruit which I'm also out of. Discovered the Waikikian. First sip tasted sorta like a Mai Tai, which makes sense given the curaçao and Orgeat. But it was very tart. And the more I drank it the more I disliked it. If I'm ever in desperation mode I'll give this another shot cutting the lemon way back.

Joined: Apr 03, 2008 Posts: 2566	A AceExplorer Posted posted on Fri, Dec 25, 2015 5:17 PM "The Last Word" on this Christmas day. It's not tiki, but it is a prohibition-era classic which is quick and easy, and tasty, and can be enjoyed anytime. Give it a moment to "develop" on your palate, then take second and third sips to experience an "aha" moment. Interesting, and good. An example of what quality ingredients can do in surprisingly simple ratios. .75 oz / 20 ml Tanqueray TEN .75 oz / 20 ml Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur .75 oz / 20 ml Green Chartreuse .75 oz / 20 ml Fresh Lime Juice Fill shaker with ice, add ingredients, shake and double-strain into a chilled cocktail glass. A Nick & Nora glass looks good with this cocktail. Garnish with a half lime wheel - it should be kinda subtle.

This is my Christmas-ish drink from last week. Eggnog with Havana Club 7 with nutmeg on top.
