I'm clearly no tiki drink expert, but I just can't help myself after re-reading BBB Remixed, so here goes: Cruzan for a Bruisin' 1 oz. Cruzan light aged rum 1 oz. Cruzan Single Barrel Estate Rum 1/2 oz. Cruzan Coconut Rum 1 oz. OJ 1 oz unsweetened pineapple juice 3/4 oz fresh lime juice 1/2 oz Velvet Falernum 1/4 oz orgeat syrup 1/8 tsp St. Elizabeth allspice dram 1 dash Regan's orange bitters 1 oz. ginger ale Add everything except ginger ale to a shaker with ice cubes and shake vigorously. Add the ginger ale and stir. Pour unstrained into a Collins glass or tiki mug and garnish with a mint sprig. Okole maluna!

I guess I could have included the other 17 rums in the bar, but it might have gotten a tad strong.

I wound up with two full bottles. I use a little mister-bottle to spray the inside of a glass (for Sazeracs), and an eyedropper for most other drinks. At this rate, I'm afraid I may have to leave most of the second bottle to someone, in my will!

T tofukulele Member San Francisco Bay, CA Joined: Aug 07, 2011 Posts: 66	T tofukulele Posted posted on Sat, Sep 17, 2011 9:08 AM I really liked it! Despite the numerous flavors, I found it to be well balanced: sweet, tart, and boozey with just enough spice from the falernum and the allspice.
