I was really in the mood for a Donga Punch but I don't have any aged rhum agricole on hand so I punted and mixed up the cocktail subbing funky Batavia-Arrack for the funky Martinique rhum. It is actually quite a decent drink and the funk comes through loud and clear.

What is that? Is it from a recipe book?

I made my first ever batch of grenadine and made a Zombie using a recipe i found on the net. This is it in one of my Staff Sergeant Nuoai mugs.

My diet is over, I've lost 20 pounds in a month, and celebrated with a Kona Big Wave.

Yup! they can do that to you, but what whiskey did you use?
and do use a good quality sweet Vermouth, makes a huge difference.

And, ideally, that whiskey was a rye. That's the ticket for a killer Manhattan.
And I totally agree about quality. Vermouth. No easier way to ruin this wonderful cocktail than with an inferior vermouth.
I am going no-frills tonight, drinking and thoroughly enjoying Appleton V/X and coconut water in a hottub while enjoying a holiday weekend getaway.

Having the exact same Mai Tai right now, with Appleton Extra and ED12. Taking a page from Porpoise's "dry Mai Tai" and going with just .5 oz of lime and orgeat, scant teaspoons of curacao and simple, and a dash of Ango just to be non-traditional. This is fast becoming the house top shelf Mai Tai.

nice rum combo, Mike and Sunny! i like the jamaican dark/demerara combo the best.
enjoying a mai-tai right now myself! visited the Italian market yesterday and got a bottle of Toschi orgeat. it's quite concentrated, so for the first time i've followed the TV formula and used 1/4 orgeat with 1/4 rock candy syrup, instead of my usual method of using 1/2 oz orgeat while omitting the rock candy syrup. a necessary adjustment with the pungent Toschi!
dont have any 12 year old rums on hand, but i combined 1 oz RL Seale's Finest 10 y.o., 1 oz Plantation 3 Star, and 1/2 oz Barbancourt white. rums from 4 islands-- but very balanced and tasty!
