What AreYou Drinking- Right Now?

Tried my hand at making the Myrtle Beach Punch from Beachbum Berry's "Total Tiki" app last night.

Thought it was very nice tasting with a surprising complexity for such a simple drink.

Merchant’s Reserve Mai Tai. This is very good

My first taste of the Hamo Blamo, having conjured up the recipe five months ago.

Not too shabby! Just goes to show why the old punch ratio works so well. The smokiness of the LH and Lost Spirits play well together, and the club soda adds to the bite of the ginger syrup. I might try a few tweaks (but not tonight; I have to work tomorrow...).

Monkey Jam Sour

Queen’s Park Swizzle

Hawaiian Mai-Tai and an IPA

Mai Tai

Made this Painkiller the other night.
I used 2 oz Coruba, 1/2 oz OFTD, and a 1/4 oz allspice.
The added spice from the OFTD and allspice was really nice with the coconut.

Friday Mai Tai using l Merchant’s Reserve

Painkiller

Ha - I almost just had a Belching Beaver PB; but went with a BJ's porter instead.

Now at home enjoying a Corn 'n'Oil with almost-the-last of our Snug Harbor Falernum. Must Get More.
Thanks again for the tip on that, Hang 10!

Zombie Julep

Vic’s Navy Grog

LOVE this thread!

My brother-in-law and I enjoyed 1934 Zombies, in commemoration of the anniversary of Donn’s death.

Hoist the Black at Undertow

And now back at home some tasty locally made rum from here in AZ.

By Way of the Dodo

2070 Swizzle

Lil trip to Tahiti

Slowly posting the travel pics on Wendy’s area in “other crafts” here on TC if ya want to see our trip

Cheers

A Daiquiri to finish the last of the Trader Vic’s silver rum (thank goodness)

Lil sumptin from Tahaa

Shoot. Didn't take a picture of it before I finished, but I just made myself a Saturn using the recipe from Smuggler's Cove.

Trader Vic's Grog. Should have grabbed a pic, but didn't. Wanted a '50 Zombie, but I'm out of limes. :o :cry:

Setting up to make Mai Tais, Painkillers, and Missionary’s Downfalls for my fiancee’s 30th birthday get together this evening.

Shingle Stain. Trader Vic’s Rum Cookery & Drinkery calls for TV Mai Tai rum; I used Merchant’s Reserve and it was very good.

Happy birthday to her. I wish I’d known about tiki on my 30th; instead it was just margaritas....

Mahalo, Hamo!
We’ve actually been into tiki since our mid 20s.
I’m 2 years older than her, so my 30th was spent in NOLA and Latitude 29 and Tiki Tolteca.
My 32nd, in a little less than 3 weeks, will be spent at the Mai Kai. I’m way stoked for that.

Mohitos made with Santiago De Cuba Rum and Agave syrup[ instead of cane sugar. Yummy! Sorry no pix-my camera is out of action right now.
Cheers

I havent gotten to contribute to this site enough in the past due to my work and health issues, but getting some pics together for my website and wanted to join into this great thread!
here are some random selects from making drinks at home or at friends homes from about 2003 forward. yay piture phones!

cheers!

Very nice presentation and garnishes, OceaOtica! I hope you'll share your site with us later when you get done so that we can see those drinks in all their full-sized glory.

In preparation for our trip to the Mai Kai in two weeks, I made a Mariano Licudine classic, the Last Rites.
Ive got Mai Kai swizzles, but I thought the Jolly Roger was more appropriate.

ACEEXPLORER thanks for the comment. i had just pasted together small collages for fun on the website, but with your input i went back and posted up a few of the larger pictures.
DAVIDPHANTOMATIC looks yummy, dig the blue light cast against that glass and skull pick

Mahalo! I got a WiFi enabled colored changing bulb for that lamp.
I’ve been having a blast playing around with it for photos.

Fogg Cutter - Bali Hai version from Total Tiki app. Tasty! The almond is strong with this one. Strong is a good way to describe this drink. 4 oz of booze: 2 rums, gin, and brandy.

A homemade Hakata Sling, complete with Hakata doll topper from Trader Vic's.

Nice! Good pic too.

Mai Tai, Royal Hawaiian version circa 1971. One of my favorites thus far.

Leftover pineapple juice since the Mai Tai (see above) only needed an ounce. Poured it right into the mug, and topped it off with hefeweizen beer for a tasty shandy/radler.

Picked up a bottle of Giffard Abricot du Roussillon to make this one.
TikiCat’s Puka Pumba’s Paradise Punch.

Happy National Mai Tai Day!
