A "Mai Tai" made with
Yes, a mix. But a REALLY GOOD mix. Not a traditional Mai Tai, in fact I don't know how to describe it, but real good none-the-less!!

Yup, and it tasted a helluva lot better than the abominable concoction I was served at Raffles Hotel in Singapore back in 2000. There are 3 versions in Remixed: Donn Beach's (1930s), 1950s, and 1970s. There's also a Straights Sling recipe in Ted Haigh's Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails, which the Singapore Sling is probably based on. I'll get around to all of them eventually.

A twist on the Jamaican Cocktail #3.
Dunno where my buddy got this revision, or if he came up with it himself, but it's really kind of freaking weird... and I mean that in a good way.
TASTY!
1.5oz Cruzan White
.5oz Blackstrap
.5oz Wray & Nephew Overproof
.5oz falernum
shake with ice and pour into tall glass, fill rest of way with ginger beer.
Next, I'm gonna try the traditional Jamaican #3 and contrast and compare.
God, I love research.

Okay... well... from time to time we MUST splurge.
We MUST give thanks to the Tiki gods and please them without hesitation.
So... now... I imbibe...
1oz Appleton Estate 21 Year
1oz El Dorado 12 Year Demerara
.5oz lime juice
.5oz orange curacao
.25oz orgeat
.25oz turbinado syrup
Good lord... I think I've found nirvana.

Just Torani and DeKuyper.
The issue at hand is the Appleton 21 year and the El Dorado 12 year, though.
The "2112" Mai-Tai?
