Mahalo CincyTikiCraig, and okole maluna!
Tonight I'm working on Don the Beachcomber's Colonial Grog from "Potions of the Caribbean" ...
Recipe from the private papers of Mariano Licudine, this is the inspiration for The Mai-Kai's Samoan Grog. New tribute recipe coming soon.

Changed up my usual Mai Tai recipe. Instead of using Appleton 12 Year (which is out of stock everywhere around here ) and St James Rhum Agricole Hors d'Age, I used 3 parts Plantation 2000 Pot Stilled Jamaican Rum to 1 part Lemon Hart 80 Demerara Rum. It made for a tasty, rummy, and delicious blend.

Last night I tried three of Atomic Grog's Mai Kai Tributes:
Cobra's Kiss
Made as written, it was far too sweet for me having 1/2 oz fassionala (English brand) and 1/4 oz of grenadine (Monin Pomegranate). On my second attempt I cut the fassionala back to slightly less than 1/2 oz and only added a "splash" of the grenadine. For my taste, it was a better balanced drink, but still on the sweet side.
Samoan Grog
This is a nice well-balanced drink. I tried it as written and with the rum quantities reversed. I liked it better with 1 oz of dark (Kohala Bay), and 3/4 oz of Gold (Don Q). For Don's Spices #2 I used Fees French Vanilla syrup and St. Elizabeth's allspice dram. This is a drink easily made in quantity and one I would gladly serve to guests.
S.O.S.
This was my favorite; smooth and well balanced exactly as written. By this time my Don Q was gone, so I substituted Ron Carlos dark, and Eldorado 12 year old for the Lemon Hart 80 (not available here). This is a drink of which I could have several and not tire of. This is another drink I'd be able to make in quantity and happily serve only to my closest of friends. It's too good for the masses.
Superior job there Hurricane Hayward!

That's when you know you've got a good drink on your hands 
Props to Atomic Grog, I have tried a mere 10 out of the 44 drinks they have on the site, I look forward to trying the S.O.S
My two tonight:
Mai Tai (Appleton 12 & Trois Riveras Blanc) - the rhum is strong in this one!
Old Fashioned (Crown Royal, maple syrup & bitters) - delicious
