Tinkering with the mai-tai core tonight:
1oz El Dorado 12
3/4oz Appleton Estate Reserve
1/4oz Smith & Cross
.5oz amaretto
.5oz Bauchant orange liquer (or Grand Marnier... but not Cointreau, I don't think)
.5oz fresh lime juice
This is ridiculously good.

Omar's Delight from Remixed, page 144. The Southern Comfort 100 proof is surprisingly good.
Had a Mai Tai last night with St. James Extra Old, Appleton 12 yr, and Clement Creole Shrubb. I am now out of the shrubb and that's a sad thing indeed.
Cheers!
Chris

Tonight I made a Fog cutter (original recipe) and a Nui Nui - over the last year and a half I have been training hard (no, seriously) to learn as many classic recipes as I can, I want to open a Tiki bar here in Vancouver BC....it rains 8 months a year, we need this!
I must say that the classic Donn recipes suit my taste far and above the majority of Trader Vics. I find the lemon, light rum, orgeat thing has nothing on the lime, dark rum and Pernod - not to mention a bit of pimento and honey mix. Curious to know what you think?

a Trader Vic's navy grog, using 1/3 oz St Elizabeth's in lieu of 3/4 oz "grog mix" (whatever that might be).
delicious.

well, the Mai tai has neither lemon nor light rum, the scorpion has more OJ than lemon, and probably the best known pimento drink is Trader Vic's formulation of navy grog.
TV sure did like his orgeat though, and DtB sure liked his grapefruit/cinnamon/honey. I'd say my palate craves each of those tastes from time to time.

I am roughing it . . . almost ashamed to say I'm drinking TV Mai Tai mix, Cruzan Aged (Gold), 80 Proof Lemon Hart (thanks God), and fresh lime juice . . . sometimes we do what we have to in the wilds . . .
