HH Hurricane Hayward Grand Member (1 year) 16 miles from The Mai-Kai Joined: Jun 07, 2008 Posts: 1932	HH Hurricane Hayward Posted posted on 09/08/2016 Aloha nui 'umi 'umi, Yes, that's the recipe for the drink pictured. My task is to serve 96 of them over the course of an hour, so I'm merely scaling up the ingredients. I'll be using two giant shakers, which can handle eight drinks apiece. So I figured out how much I need of each ingredient per shaker, then follow that recipe. I'm not a fan of batching cocktails as a punch, unless they were actually designed to be a punch. I like to shake or mix the drinks as fresh as possible. After mixing up some very complicated cocktails this way (see Zombie above), this one should be a breeze. If you're curious, here's the grand total: 48 oz lime juice 48 oz OJ 48 oz grapefruit juice 48 oz passionfruit syrup 48 oz dark Jamaican rum 96 oz gold Cuban rum 4 oz Angostura bitters Okole maluna!

Not drinking it right now, but when I do, I like Robert Hess' formulation: 1 1/4 oz green Chartreuse 1 oz pineapple juice 3/4 oz lime juice 1/2 oz falernum Swizzle with crushed ice (or shake with ice and strain over crushed ice) in a tall glass. Garnish with mint sprig and fresh nutmeg.

It was a "tiki takeover" by the "Tiki Blinders". Fun and great drinks. Tiki Blinders were: Scott Eton (The Melrose Umbrella Co.), Yael Vengroff (The Spare Room), Anna Knudson (Sassafras), Chris Amirault (Otium), Karen Grill (The Melrose Umbrella Co.), Sonny Sal (Good Times at Davey Wayne's), Sam Hoke (The Melrose Umbrella Co.), Eric Bugosh (The Spare Room), and Justin Oliver (Sassafras). Liquor sponsors were Teeling Whiskey, Infinium Spirits and L'Orgeat Liqueur. Great drinks and time.

As I suspected, The Mai-Kai's lime is unique, definitely a blend that's very heavy on the key lime juice. But definitely a more high-end juice than my supermarket brand. I also tried a 3:1 blend, but the 2:1 combo seems to be the closest match. And just to prove I'm not an insane person drinking lime juice all night, I mixed up the S.O.S. tribute using The Mai-Kai's orange juice from Kennesaw ...

That's pure, fresh-squeezed Florida OJ with lots of pulp, unlike anything I've had off the grocery store shelves. The only thing fresher would be hand-picked oranges off a South Florida tree. As I suspected, these juices are among the many key elements in the signature Mai-Kai flavor in their cocktails.

My plan was to fix up a couple of “Last Words” as a nightcap. I did a side by side using the Chartreuse vs. the Herbsaint. Not even close. You get a totally different and not very good drink using the Hertbsaint. Another bottle taking up space in the SharkBite Bar. Cheers

Were they kidding? Herbsaint is anise flavored for crying out loud. It's a substitute for absinthe (and who needs a substitute for absinthe since it's now been legal since 2007 and there's dozens of brands on the shelves)! Green Chartreuse is not anise flavored. It's unique and not flavored like anything else. There is no substitute for Green Chartreuse.
