A Mai Tai, but I'm out of simple syrup, so I added a little extra orgeat and a strong dash of Disaronno, oh and for rum, this time I used Appleton's V/X and Cruzan Black Strap.
... and I've got Martin Denny's Primitiva on the turntable.

The last couple of times I made mai tais I used Cruzan Black Strap. I think it adds a bit of ... something.

Well, nothing at the moment. I'm at work. But give me time!

Pindar Ice wine I got last time I was home on Long Island. Early in the evening I was at Nude Nite and drank absinthe, which seemed to not live up to the hype (the absinthe that is, not Nude Nite).

At lunch today, just had an Appleton's Rum Cocktail:
1 1/2 oz. Appleton's V/X
1 oz. Fresh lime juice
1/2 tsp Creme de Cacao
Shake with ice, strain into chilled martini glass.
Pretty good, but better with El Dorado.

Blackbeard's Ghost (pirate grog). Fresh lemons and oranges from friends and family and neighbors put this drink on heavy rotation this time of year. Generally I'll use the Cruzan clear, but the other day I tried it with Barbancourt clear and liked it a lot. Also tried it with 10 cane and that too is very good.

Right now, I'm enjoying a rum and pineapple juice with Bacardi 151 and an equal amount of Disaronno... kinda nutty... I like this stuff. I don't believe the classic faux tropical recipes use much amaretto, but instead they call for orgeat... for some nut flavor.
