Started the night off with a Sippin Safari Duke's Pearl.
Just a little heads up... the Forrelli Honey that tastes so good on my toast made this drink almost undrinkable. Much better with plain Clover.
Next one up was the Sharks Tooth from Remixed, a little stout but gets better as the ice melts.
A question for the experts out there do you float the 1oz Jamaican or do you pour and mix in?
Now off to do some experimenting...

From Trader Vic's Bartnder's Guide, 1947.
Chartreuse cocktail
3/4 oz bourbon
1/2 oz chartreuse
1/4 oz French vermouth ( we used dry)
Stir with cracked ice, strain into chilled cocktail glass. Serve with maraschino cherry.
One of the new owners of Musso & Frank Grill, an old time restaurant on Hollywood Blvd. had bought a bottle of Chartreuse and didn't know what to make of it. I did some reading in my bar book library and found this old recipe. We made this last night in the restaurant and everyone who tried it loved it... yeah...
I know it is not tiki but a very good old fashioned cocktail.

Hey hiltiki, next time you're there get him to make you a "Last Word". Equal parts Chartreuse, gin, lime juice and maraschino liquer shaken and strained. Lovely. I actually like Chartreuse on the rocks with a couple of lime wedges squeezed and dropped in.

I'll have to whip one of those up this evening.
I ran out of Mai-tai ingredients halfway through our little shindig, and had to mix on the fly... wound up going with what I had available and made some modified Blue Hawaiians. Subbed Cruzan Gold for the vodka, and left the cream out.
I thought they were a little too tart with all the lemon juice, but the handful of guests loved the hell out of 'em, so whatta I know?
It seems that the power of the "Blue Drink" on non-Tiki-philes (i.e. everyday folk), is impressive. "Ooohs" and "aahhhs" all 'round.

HAI KARATE!!!!! (Intoxica pg. 37)
(PS. Did this stuff part crowds like the Red Sea back in the 70's? 'Cos baby, I got plenty of elbow-room today!)

Well, I dug out my 1938 copy of Just Cocktails and tried a "Pink Whiskers":
1oz brandy
1oz French vermouth
"juice of 1/4 orange" = ?? so I used 3/4oz
1 dashes creme de menthe
2 dashes grenadine
and there's a reason why this isn't a 'classic' cocktail and you've never heard of it.
Next was "Alexander's Sister", which is an Alexander but with menthe instead of cacao and a few sips was enough mint for me.
Screw it - back to the Berry books!
A tropical Itch later and the rest is histrionics.

Apple cider. I also just bought a bottle of Cointreau which i've been out of for a while, so i'm going to make something with that soon. First I want to try a Sailor Jerrys with Pepsi. Never tried one before as I generally dont drink cola. Can anyone tell me if it need lime?

That Mai-Tai Swizzle is freakin' awesome.
The wife made Oatmeal Raisin Cookies tonight.
The cocktails... not the baked goods.
Delicious desert.

I wish I had the initiative to mix a Tropical cocktail. It's too easy just to pour some El Dorado 15 and throw in a couple of ice cubes (which is what I just did). This stuff is good enough for me to switch from Bourbon permanently.
