Last night:
"MOLOKAI MIKE" from Trader Vic's Bartender's Guide (Revised,1972)
I substituted a Virgin Island light for the Puerto Rican light and Clement VSOP for the Rhum Negrita.
I served these in "Hukilau" collins glasses and they were enjoyed by all!

A (third) gin and tonic. Alas, all my rums (20+) are on the boat, at the marina,... but I'm not.

I just got home from the Richard Cheese concert where I drank too many matinis. SO now I am drinking a big bottle of water to hopefully NOT be too hungover at work tomorrow.

Last night:
I was feeling tired of my usual drinks so I attempted this Planter's Punch recipe, from "The Essential Cocktail" by Dale DeGroff. It's not a bad book.
3/4 oz Myers
3/4 oz light rum
3/4 oz curacao
1/2 oz falernum (didn't have on hand boo - trying to fix this today)
1 oz simple syrup (seems heavy to me)
3/4 oz pineapple juice
3/4 oz fresh oj
1/2 oz lime juice
dash of grenadine
dash of Angostura bitters
It was ok. I doubled the recipe and didn't want to fool with decimal points so it ended up being rather rummy. Probably will go back to the fog cutter this week.
Now I'm drinking a rank iced coffee.

A "real" daiquiri. There's just nothing better on a hot day!

Last Night:
From Trader Vic's Book of Food and Drink (1946) his version of Don The Beachcomber's (to whom Vic gives due credit). . .
"ZOMBIE"
Used Meyer's for the Jamaican, substituted a Virgin Island rum for the Puerto Rican and El Dorado 151 for the Lemon Hart -otherwise
everything else was the same. Strong & tasty!
NOTE: Easy to advance prep for group service adding the dash of Pernod on a per-drink basis.
