Vintage 2008- is it ready to drink yet, or is that tiki gonna rest a little longer?

You usually drink Pinot Noir when it is young (within the first 5 years as I recall), so I will probably be emptying this one soon.

Cheers!

well, there seem to be primarily two different recipes out there.
the first, and most prevalent, calls for 2 oz rum, 1/4 to 1/3 oz falernum, 1/4 oz lime and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.
the alternate recipe i came across several times flips the mix-- it calls for 1.5 oz falernum, .5 oz black rum, and 1 dash of bitters. this version looks pretty cool bc the rum sits up on top of the falernum after pouring and looks like an oil sheen (altho i stirred it all up before consuming).
for me, the first version was nothing special, and was also too tart. but i really liked the second version (the falernum-heavy version). it was definitely sweet, but it tasted like some new kind of funky cola or something.
i've seen a few references to a 1:1 falernum/rum mix, i'll have to try that one next.

I really like the Cruzan Black Strap Rum, which is also relatively cheap to boot. By the way, there's a passage in the Keith Richards' autobiography where the great Hoagy Carmichael tells Keef to make sure he orders up some Corn n' Oils whenever he's in Barbados. Way cool!

I started off my holiday weekend with a Nui Nui which was quite tasty. Now I'm on a McCadden Place Mai Tai (you all know why it's called that right?) from here, http://beachbumberry.com/2009/10/10/cocktail-combat-in-kona/
About halfway down the page for the recipe. It is really good, a bit lime heavy maybe because I subbed Appleton Reserve for the Bacardi 8. I'm thinking maybe some Barbancourt in the next one.
Cheers and I hope everyone has a good holiday weekend.

Best presentation I've seen . . . and sounds delicious, it's scribbled down on a piece of paper for me to find in several years!

Thanks. It still needs a bit more sour to counteract all the sweet liqueurs/syrups, but it's almost there.
