The 2024 hurricane season was a rough one, marked by three landfalls in Florida and devastation across many states. We're hopeful for a speedy recovery, including the return of Don the Beachcomber in Madeira Beach in 2025. Echoing the strength of the storms is the dangerous Hurricane Dunder cocktail, featuring three potent pot-still Jamaican rums ...

What do you get when you mash up a classic eggnog with two Navy rums (both Planteray Mister Fogg and Hamilton Beachbum Berry's Blend), an infused brandy from Smuggler's Cove, plus two syrups from Don the Beachcomber? The Atomic Navy Nog, of course.

Mai Tais and Don's Special Daiquiris at my parents' cabin. There's still some lime juice left that needs to be used up....

Black-Orchid_mug-March2025_h

I broke in my new Golden Era Tropicals mug, created for Justin Wojslaw by LowTiki and Motu Mikey, with Justin's classic Black Orchid from Minimalist Tiki. It's a great drink to experiment with high-proof rums, thanks to Ed Hamilton and his vast array of releases.

Well, I have stopped drinking (for another week) and may not to make much at home before a trip to SoCal in a week and a half. But I should make up for things as VenTiki....

I am drinking again. Since photos aren't uploading, you will have to use your imagination.

A dry spell before SoCal? That’s like carb-loading before a luau. Respect

Jungle Bird with Hamilton Lost Spirits (Strong Water Anaheim) blend. I need to make it back there soon, what an impressive bar with killer cocktails.

coffee this AM but last night we did the final taste test for a cocktail we call the Black Tai. Hope that name has not been taken. The final test was whether of not the mint should be muddled, it made so little difference that it was a bust. So are now finished. Could not find a page for new cocktails so here it is. bblacktai

Hello Holler Waller. It's been a long time since I saw you pop up and it's fun to say hi.

Passionola_Roof-Raiser_h

The Roof Raiser (1943) featuring Passionola, the trademark gold passion fruit cocktail syrup made in small batches in San Diego by the fine folks behind "Fassionola: The Torrid Story of Cocktails' Most Mysterious Ingredient" (2024, Classic San Diego Books). It's far and away the next best thing to a homemade syrup. Thanks to barman extraordinaire Doc Parks for resurrecting the historic recipe with authors Gregorio Pantoja and Martin S. Lindsay. I hear they might have a surprise for us at Tiki Oasis! Pick up the syrup and the book (featuring a detailed history and tons of recipes) at Passionola.com and Fassionola.com ...

ROOF RAISER (Skipper’s, Seattle, Wash., 1943)

½ ounce lemon juice, ¾ ounce Passionola Gold, ½ ounce orange curaçao, 2 ounces dark rum

Blend with cracked ice and pour unstrained into a rocks glass. Garnish with a pineapple cube, cherry and mint leaf.
