Very strong, but the cane flavor of the agricole, and the vanilla of the Kraken, you don't really notice the booze wallop you're getting. And you're definitely getting a wallop.
WOO!

My Boss announced he's 'leaving' today so....I'm home with a cocktail!!!
Passion Play - Mai Tai based
1.5 oz Appleton Estate
.5 Cointreau
.5 Passion Syrup
.5 fresh lime juice
Shake, strain into double rocks with crushed rocks. Think it needs something though.....Maybe it's just the appleton.

hm. Well, I guess I've fiddled around long enough -- and since all the reviews in the "Kraken" thread are muy positivo (a rare bird in itself) -- I suppose I'll finally have to pick up a "jug" of this amazing bug-eyed-squid juice over the holiday weekend at BevMo?!  (...in Rancho Cuc, btw!)

A Mai Tai. Sort of..... I dont have any orange curaçao at the moment so i'm using Parfait Amour, a liqueur I do really like, not just for the flavour but also for sentimental reasons. Whilst it's not a proper Mai Tai, it does work (for me at least) because the Parfait Amour has an orange base already. It just gives it another dimension. Although that does depend on what brand. I've tried a few and they all taste different. One of my favourites was with vodka (sacrilegious, I know) and lemonade. Tasted like musk. Awesome.

Hah... nice! I know it well. Although, I prefer the one in Redlands... I used to work at that one.
I had a lot of fun in the Inland. The missus and I used to take the MetroLink into L.A. and go on booze safari all the time. Los Feliz was best, cause you could stumble from Dresden to Good Luck to Tiki-Ti and never have to get in a car. Awesome!

1934 Zombie Punch - Last night I got my specialty syrups in from Trader Tiki and realized I had all the right ingredients for the granddaddy of all Faux Polynesian Cocktails - The infamous Don the Beachcomber 1934 Zombie Punch(as reported in the books'Sippin' Safari' and 'Grog Log and Intoxica Remixed' by Jeff 'Beachbum' Berry). I had an unbroken into bottle of Lemon Hart 151 Demarara Rum and the fresh fruit so rather than wait for the Hukilau to break all this out I decided to make one last night. Folks, I weigh 274 lbs and this puppy about put me flat on the floor! Don wasn't kidding when he said only 2 to a customer! Whew, what planet can hold this drink?!

I just had a 'Mai Tai' and a Hurricane at Texas Joe's onboard the former Naval Station Subic Bay. The Mai Tai was the usual-dark rum, triple sec, grenadine and pineapple juice but with the Tanduay Superior she used I didn't care. I think Tanduay is my new favorite alcohol.

True, not very Tiki, but still classic - one of my 'go to' cocktails!! Never heard of "Depaz" can syrup though....interesting.

Not sure about this one.....needs 'something', maybe a bit more passion, use a dark rum, or leave out the J Wray 126. No name.....
.5 oz fresh lime juice
.5 oz passion fruit syrup
.5 oz 126 over proof
1.5 Cruzan amber
juice from 8 oz can of Dole pineapple.
Shake w/ ice, strain into double rocks glass with ice. Like I said, it's missing something.

A little something I'm working on for an upcommin gathering
1 oz Lemon Hart 80 proof
1 oz Home flavored 80 proof Coconut Rum
1.5 oz Pineapple Juice
1 oz Lime Juice
.5 oz Cinnamon Syrup
.75 TV Orgeat
1 tsp Cruzan Black Strap
It starts tart and ends up a little sweet and surprisingly you can taste each flavor.
I think I got a keeper now I just need a name.
