Last night I made myself a Mai-Kai tribute Jet Pilot.
Without having dinner first.
Quick and effective delivery of happy juice to the brain.

Big Bamboo. Made with Appleton 12 y.o. and Havana Club 7 y.o.
Next one will be either Zula or Jet Pilot. I think I'm leaning more towards Zula, since I'm in the mood for something smooth and easy.

Hayward's tribute to Tahitian Breeze. I didn't have creme de banana so I used some cheap banana liquor that has been lurking in the back of my fridge for over a year. I used only a teaspoon, just incase. And it was a good choice. There is still some slight "bad-booze" flavor in the background from the cheap liquor. But other than that, it's a great and unique tropical drink. And I think the bad taste disappeared once it diluted a little. This is a good one, definitely for those sweet tooth -moments. I'd really like to know how it tastes at the Mai-Kai. Hmm, I still have some lime juice left. Maybe I should try the Hawai'i-version too.

First I had a Don's Own Planter's. So damn good. Still one of my favorites. Simple, but great.
I got some lemon juice left so I improvised and came up with this;
3/4oz lemon juice
1/2oz passionfruit syrup
1/3oz allspice syrup
1/2oz club soda
˝tsp ginger syrup
3/4oz Havana Club 3 year old
1oz Mount Gay eclipse
1 dash angostura bitters
Shaken up with some ice. Nothing special, but it's pretty good. Nice and drinkable.

Last night:
Made a Mai Tai similar to the one posted earlier by Hiltiki except that I used Senior Orange Curacao, Zaya and some Pusser's 15 year old Navy Rum - Wow!
