Put everything in a blender and blend 10 sec. pour into glass and add ice if needed.

Mai Tai of course. 1 oz fresh squeezed lime juice, 1oz Gosling's Black Seal rum, 1 oz Cruzan aged gold rum, 1/2 oz orange curacao, 1/2 oz Trader Vic's orgeat, 1/2 oz Demerara sugar syrup (made it myself) shake with crushed ice and floated 1/2 oz Lemon Hart 151 rum. Outstanding!

My week was crap so fittingly I had Suffering Bastards all week but tonight made the Navy Grog.

With over 3 inches of new snow and counting.. topped off the shaker with snow... 6oz. of apple juice and 1oz. of Amaretto... shook the piss out of it and the resulting slush is frankly amazing. Try it... you'll have to agree. :)

Nothing.
I'm coming down with a cold.

:cry:

Shouldn't they just be called a Gimlet and a Martini? :wink:

Yes, Swizzle you are 110% correct.

In a PERFECT world a gin martini and gin gimlet would be a tautology. (That's opposite of an oxymoron)

I blame James Bond and his f**kin' vodka martinis. What kind of NATO spy drinks commie VODKA martinis ?? That traitor.

Drinking a Royal Daiquiri (Remixed) in honor of Don the Beachcomber's birthday. Cheers!

I Enjoyed a great missionary's Downfall from the bums remixed book last night,Minty!!

Lani Honi

nothing,
what the fuck is wrong with me?

please don't answer that.

Sazerac Cocktail. Hmmm, yum. With the Lucid, it becomes somewhat in the vain of a beachcomber...

did you twist the lemon over the surface of the drink, that's the key...

Hell in the Pacific.

edit: with Lemon Hart.

Enjoying my first bottle of Cruzan Black Strap by mixing it with ginger beer.
Delicious.

2 Shots Kraken, 1 shot of Drambuie, 1 shot of Kahlua... not too fancy, but not bad. Call it a Rusty Pirate.

the Spievak zombie.

hoowee-- that's tart!

Hart of Darkness using my newly acquired LH151. I may have a new favorite cocktail. :)

I have just enuf LH left to try that. Ima report back.

Hart of Darkness = too tart for me. I'd rather have 151 swizzle.

Hi,
Right now I am drinking vodka.

Made my first Dark & Stormy's, both strained through fresh ginger and not. Pretty good , but what goes well with ginger? I'm thinking of adding some thai or sweet basil anyone try anything like this?

After getting my LH 151 today...I just finished off a Zombie Punch about 45 mins ago

where's you get your LH, Tonga?

A Suffering Bastard with Barritts.

I still have two bottles of Barritt's left--what recipe you using?

I ordered 4 bottles from Binny's in Chicago. The second part of my order should arrive tommorrow.

cool. i didnt know anyone would ship down here.

MAI-TAI.

Imagine that.

you can't just say mai tai and leave it at that. you gotta describe the rums, the brand orgeat, how much lime, etc...

Oh, you know... Bacardi, Roses lime juice, almond flavored pancake syrup... the usual.

Actually, Appleton 12 yr, Coruba dark, Torani, Dekuyper curacao, half a lime... the usual.

Blue Hawaii, 1957 recipe from one of the Beachbum books.
I use Tommy Guns Vodka (comes in a M1921 Thompson submachine gun shaped glass bottle) in it, which is probably the smoothest vodka I've ever had and for the rum I used a pineapple/coconut rum for extra island flavor.

Classic Trader Vic's mai tai, what else.. ?? :wink: Some habits are hard to change..

I love the new mug though!
