What AreYou Drinking- Right Now?

I'm debating whether or not to mix up another Colonel's Big Opu rght now. A part of me says,"finish working on the comic first!" but another says, "But your weekend blood-rum level is dangerously low now!"
Choices choices...

Buns Rushin
:drink: :drink: :drink:

Lemon Hart Lemon Head...

In a coffee mug, 90 Minute IPA. I was walkin the hounds and didn't want 5-O to notice.

Catamaran. made a double dose and ran out of vodka after 2 oz. Replaced missing vodka w/rum.

Mojito... dam its hot out!

mint, lemon slice, lime slice symple syrup, rum, lots ice.

Last night:
"Headhunter Zombie" from the Hawaii Kai Cookbook

1 oz papaya nectar
1 oz peach nectar
1 oz fresh lime juice
1 1/2 oz Demerara rum (I used El Dorado 5YO)
1 oz 151 rum (I used Wray & Nephew overproof)
3/4 oz gold rum (I used Appleton Special)
3/4 oz honey
Dash of Angostura bitters

Very potent!
On my second one, I cut the Wray & Nephew back to 1/2 oz and bumped up the Appleton Special to 1 oz and it let me keep my head.

I just made a Corn 'n' Oil. It's not that bad and it reminds me of the Cuba Libre.

Here's what I put in it:

• 2oz Cockspur rum
• 1oz Taylor's Falernum
  1 dash of Angostura bitters
  2 dashes of orange bitters
  1 lime wedge

Stir the mix with ice cubes in an old-fashioned glass about 20 times. Squeeze the wedge's juice in the drink and then dunk it in.

My third current make-do Mai Tai (proper ingredients can be hard to find in Australia!)

2oz Ron Zacapa 23
3/4oz orgeat
1/2oz Cointreau
1oz lime juice

Heading to the States and Tiki Oasis 9 this month and looking forward to bringing back some St James to do this properly!

At least I'm drinking from a proper Trader Vic's Mai Tai I procured from the Bangkok TV.

My mint crop finally came in, so I made myself a Mai Tai with a float of Lemon Hart 151 on top.

I'm drinking Tonic and Beefeater 24 with a slice of Lemon Bliss :)

Ya know... I like Beefeater gin... but right now it's a Mai Tai with Bacardi Gold and Gosling's Black Seal. The Gosling's is a bit too dominate... but I'll suffer through it somehow!

Suffering Bastard with Hendrick's Gin and Knob Creek Bourbon.

I love Mai Tais and I love Margaritas, so on a whim, I decided to mix these classic recipes together to see what happens. To my surprise, the result is muy delicioso! I call it the Mai-Tairita!

2 oz. Patrón Silver Tequila
1 1/2 oz. Fresh Lime Juice
1 oz. St. James Martinique Rum
1 oz. Appleton V/X Jamaican Rum
1 oz. Cointreau
1/2 oz. Señor Curaçao of Curaçao Liqueur
1/4 oz. Demerara Cane Sugar Syrup
1/4 oz. Orgeat Syrup
1/2 Spent Lime Shell

Shake all ingredients except for lime shell with 1/2 cup of crushed ice. Pour into a large snifter or margarita glass, then fill with more crushed ice. Drop in the lime shell and garnish with mint.

Note: you can also rim the glass or snifter with rock salt unless you're a hypertense kind of guy like me.

Playing with my new bottle of Mezcal tonight, and came up with the following incredibly smooth and delicious variation on the classic Caipirinha:

1 Fresh Lime, quartered
2 oz. Mezcal (Gusano Rojo)
1/2 oz. Cachaça (Ypióca)
1 1/2 oz. Demerara Cane Sugar Syrup
Dash of bitters (Fee Bros.)
Garnish with worm

Muddle lime quarters in a double old-fashioned glass. Fill with ice cubes and swizzle with remaining ingredients.

Enjoying an adapted Fugu (Forbidden Island version).

I confess! A margarita. Not with sweat and sour though.
2oz of Chaya repesado
1/2 of Cointreau
easy squeeze of half a lemon
and teeny bit of oj

First of this season's Michigan apple cider on ice with 1 1/2 oz. of Coruba dark rum. Simple? Yes. But so very very good.

I harvested my bumper crop of Cayenne peppers just before our first hard frost of the season, and I thought they'd make a damn fine cocktail garnish, so here's my South-of-the-Border riff on the classic Aku Aku Lapu from the Bum's Intoxica!:

1 oz. Fresh Lemon Juice
1 oz. Fresh Lime Juice
1 oz. Unsweetened Pineapple Juice
1 oz. Orange Juice
1 oz. Falernum (Fee Bros.)
1 oz. Appleton V/X Rum
1 oz. Presidente Mexican Brandy
1 oz. Patrón Silver Tequila
1 oz. Pisco Capel Reservado

Shake with crushed ice, and pour into a large snifter. Fill with more crushed ice. Garnish with a large Cayenne pepper speared and cracked to allow the spicy aroma to permeate the drink.

I was in the mood for a Gin drink. Found this recipe in Intoxica. I like it a lot in fact I made it 2 nights in a row. I used fresh orange, lemon and lime and I added a few sprigs of mint into the drink.

Del Coronado

1/2 oz unsweetened pineapple juice
1/2 oz passion fruit juice
2 1/2 oz orange juice
3/4 oz fresh lemon juice
1/4 oz fresh lime juice
1/2 oz papaya nectar
1 oz gin
1 oz dark Jamaican rum

Shake well and pour into a tall glass.

Just finished two Jet Pilots and a Floridita Daiquiri.

Tomorrow I, too, am going into the Gin for some drinks, I think a Singapore Sling or three are in order.

Just finished a lot of beer, from having performed at Harpoon Brewerys Octoberfest, which was followed up by a shrunken skull, and a jet pilot, both Mai Kai style.

About to make some orgeat for my next Mai Tai.

For my dinner guests: Don the Beachcomber's Plantation Punch ftom "Hawai'i Tropical Rum Drinks & Cuisine by Don the Beachcomber.

1 1/2 ounces of light Puerto Rican rum (I used Virgin Island rum)
1 ounce of Jamaica rum (I used Appleton VX)
1 ounce Demerara rum (I used El Dorado 5 YO)
1/4 oz Falernum
1/2 oz Tripl Sec
1 oz fresh lime juice
2 oz club soda

Not a bad drink and easy to make in quantity.

I have a bottle of St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram and I wanted a simple recipe for a rum drink. so I found this one in the Grog Log. It is good and tasty.

Jasper's Jamaican

1/2 oz fresh lime juice
1/2 oz Pimento liquor
1/4 tsp. sugar
1 1/4 oz gold Jamaican rum

Dissolve sugar in lime juice, shake everything well with ice. Strain into a cocktail glass.

That drink by Mr. BaliHi looks just like a drink they serve in Nevada called "the inguano".

1/3 Hot pepper infused tequila*
1/3 good margarita mix
1/3 orange juice

Fill a double old fashioned glass with crushed ice, garnish with a pickled cayenne on a decorative tooth pick or plastic sword.

*Grill about 6 Jalapenos (or hotter peppers to taste) and add whole to a good 750 ml bottle of tequila.

The Rum and Coke thread made me crave a Cuba Libra, so that's what I'm drinking in this sunny Tuesday afternoon, while writing travel blurbs :)
