Delayed post as it is morning and I was drinking last night but,
I had to get rid of some almost empty bottles so I eliminated two almost empty bottle of tequila by drinks Palomas, using Wondrich's recipe:
La Paloma
Build in collins glass
2 ounces tequila
1/2 ounce lime juice
pinch of salt
add ice then top off with
grapefruit soda ( I used Jarritos)
Not tiki, but one of the better ways to finish off a bottle of tequila to make room for more bottles of rum.

My own version of Shrunken Skull
3/4oz fresh lime
3/4oz cinnamon syrup
3/4oz pomegranate juice
1oz Havana Club 7
1oz El Dorado 12
Puts a smile on my face. I use juice instead of grenadine because there is no good quality grenadine here. But there is awesome juice, which works perfectly. And this way it's easy to adjust the cinnamon flavor, which really makes the drink, without making it sickly sweet.
Edit: Next one is Pearl Diver's Punch. I accidentally used regular honey instead of orange blossom, but meh, this is just as tasty.

Ok we've been paddling hard this past week as outrigger canoe sprint race practice has begun and come Friday my Wahine and I are beat! So of course we can find no better reward to a week well done than a couple of nice tall tiki drinks. Our drinks of choice this week are by the man who knows how to fill a big ole tiki mug to the brim with complex potent concoctions, and this would be Kahuna Kevin who has two cocktail books out as you probably know.
For my Wahine, she is enjoying the Kapu Inu (Forbidden Drink) which includes gold rum, coconut water and LH 151.
For myself, I am enjoying Kevin's 151 Gun Swizzle which includes two freakin ounces of LH 151.
Cheers! And Imua!!!!

Enjoying one of my personal favorite non-tiki drinks, Toby Maloney's ode to the donkey with the blues...
Eeyore's Requiem
1 1/2 oz Campari
1 oz Dolin Bianco vermouth
1/2 oz Tanqueray gin
1/2 oz Cynar
1/4 oz Fernet Branca
15 drops orange bitters
Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail glass, express 3 orange twists over the glass, drop the last one in.
Just like the drink's namesake, pleasantly bitter.
