A Mai-Kai Barrel of Rum, but for a change I'm at home and not in The Molokai bar. I finally picked up a copy of Taboo Table and went right to that recipe. It's a spot-on facsimile ... just wonderful. Heading straight to The Grogalizer to post my 10-star review. Mahalo!

Jet Pilot right now... but earlier it was Navy Grogs and a Mai-Tai.
And yesterday it was Mai-Tais, Missionary's Downfall, and Jasper's Jamaican.
My liver's gonna be pissed.

The Aku-aku Zombie. Pretty sure this is a repeat, but in my defense, it's a good drink.

The Tiki
It's nice and smooth, didn't expect much from a recipe I got off a bottle of Sailor Jerry's but I'm enjoying it quite a bit.

we had a Flamming Coffee Grog after dinner, followed by a Mai Tai, and now we're onto a 3 Dots and a Dash.

Scotch Mist. That is what grandpa called it. It is really a Rusty Nail.

Last night . . . "Suffering Bastard" from Remixed. I've never been a drinker of Gin; maybe had one or two gin drinks in my life, but I decided to try it. I used Beefeater London Dry Gin, E&J V*S*O*P brandy, Rose's Lime cordial and D&G Jamaican Ginger Beer.
Following the recipe exactly I found that the four ounces of ginger beer totally dominated over all the other flavors in the drink - but of course, I dank it anyway. I made another one and cut back by one ounce on the ginger beer but that effort had little effect . . . ginger beer still dominated over all the other flavors - but, not a bad drink after all and of course, I drank it.
I am most tempted to try the other two 'Bastard' drinks in Remixed - the Dying Bastard and the Dead Bastard - and I'm leaning more toward the Dead Bastard because it uses 1/2 ounce each of four different liquors; gin, Bourbon, brandy and light while the other ingredients remain the same - I think I'll still cut back the ginger beer by an ounce.
I'll report back later . . with a photo.

My beefed up version of a Dark 'n' Stormy.
I call it the Rogue Wave:
2 oz Goslings Black Seal
1/2 oz Fresh Lime Juice
1/2 oz Simple Syrup
1 dash Fee Bros. Old Fashioned Bitters
Blend with ice and fill with Ginger Beer.

Decided not to wait until later to make a "Dead Bastard" (it's 5:25 P.M. here anyway) . . . so I dug out my passed-down-from-my-father "Mai Tai" mug . . . now referred to as the "Suffering Bastard Mug" mixed 1/2 ounce each of : Wild Turkey Kentucky Bourbon, Beefeater London Dry Gin, E&J V.S.O.P. Brandy and Virgin Island light rum - keeping all the other ingredients the same except for the ginger beer which cut back to 3 ounces.
Now . . that's a good combination and the four different liquors blend together nicely and play well with the ginger beer. I'll be making more of these!
I bet you feel more like you do now now than you did when you came in.
