Damn... that sounds good!
Right this sec I'm drinking some effed up abomination that was the remains of the Tiki orgy that's been occurring in the kitchen for the last few hours.
I dunno what it is, but it's:
1oz Appleton's V/X
1oz Gosling's Black Seal
1oz pineapple juice
1oz blood orange juice
1/2oz falernum
coupla shakes of bitters
dropped a bourbon marinated cherry in it for "good luck"
Maybe I'll just call it a "Friggin' Mess".
Earlier, the wife and I had a coupla Wisdoms of Pele, and some Rum Swizzles with blood orange instead of lime. Really pretty good.
But right now... it's a "Friggin' Mess".

Last night . . . MrBaliHai's "Shark Attack" substituting El Dorado 12YO for the Lemon Hart 80 proof - adds depth IMHO, and Lemon Hart isn't available here in FloriDUH.

I'm drinking a very nasty mai tai right now....
For some reason I was in the market and saw the Trader Vic's mai tai mix bottle and I think the label got me. This stuff is terrible... oh well live and learn..

My ongoing experiment to make a tasty cocktail, phase 5 or something:
1 oz grapefruit juice
3/4 oz lime juice
2 oz El Dorado 12 yo
1/2 oz El Dorado overproof
1/4 oz vanilla syrup
1/4 oz cinnamon syrup
1/4 oz Falernum
Tasting quite good, not outstanding though.

Since it's Easter I went the candy route with some left over stuff other people brought over. Mixed juice from a carton and whipped cream. (I thought the whipped cream might make some of the purists spit take their estate rum. Yes, I'm evil.)

Last night . . . the "Tropical Itch" and, as I have no Bacardi 151, I used Wray & Nephew Overproof (only one oz. though), Caruba for the dark Jamacian, and Wild Turkey bourbon, and Ceres passion fruit nectar. I made them in quantity and they were enjoyed by all - I now have three cars in my driveway . . . they all took cabs home!

started out with the Sippin Safari's "Dukes Pearl" using
Coruba for the dark
Old Mill for the light (lightest rum allowed in the house)
Looza Passion fruit nectar for the juice
First time making this pretty tasty!!!!
Then mixed it up a little and added 1/2 oz Monin Coconut syurp (to sweet/syurpy) so... the one in my hand now, I left out the Honey and put in 1oz coconut syurp....
I like alot...
