Tried out the "DigiTiki Mai Tai" tonight with dinner. I don't know that I prefer it to the Trader Vic's recipe, but that Lemon Hart 151 float sure makes for a good finish.

Tried a couple out of Vic's '73 book last night... much drier than usual (for me), with way less sweetness.
The Doctor Funk in his book tastes nothing like the Doctor Funk I had at TV's Emeryville. Their drink was heavily sweet and had maraschino liqueur if I remember correctly. The one in the book just has dark rum, lemon and lime, and tiny amounts of grenadine, simple syrup, and Herbsaint. The soda added a nice touch, too... and it wound up being a pretty refreshing summer-time booze fest.
The Beachcomber was along the same lines, as far as dryness goes. I liked this one quite a bit, but I may go for a more pungent rum next time, for personal preference. The light Puerto Rican (I use the Cruzan to sub, like the Bum suggests) gets lost on my tastebuds. Overall, The Beachcomber seemed to me to be kind of a not too sweet rum margarita. Pretty dang good.

On my second Happy Buddha. Altered second take for less guava overpowerment. No pic. I figure everybody's seen a bottle of Rose's.

A Mai Tai with;
Lemon Hart (Jamaican)
Lark* rum
Lark* are a Tasmanian distiller who make several award winning whisk(e)y(ies/s). A couple of years ago they released a white "rum" made from, I believe, an Australian sugar cane juice. Now from what I understand that should be called an agricole, which is what it tastes like, but they call it a rum. (Some of that original batch is being aged in, what i'm positive is their own ex-whisk(e)y barrels.I am interested in trying that when it becomes available). It is though, SOOOO much harsher than any white agricole I have ever tried before. Agricoles are a completely different animal to white rums but this is definitely an agricole, not a rum.If you ever see it, and are the adventurous type, then by all means give it a go. But otherwise, give it a miss.

Awesome concert, women issues, speeding fines, I'm loving this Apple Cider right now. I believe I might have several more.

Made my first Sidewinder's Fang last night, with real passion fruit... pretty good, but at the end of the day I just don't think I'm much of a fan(g) of passion fruit in the first place.

Decorate with fresh fruits.
This is the single version of a big punch. Not terribly Tiki, but delicious.
