Beach Life Tiki Bar

Hmm, ok i was bored the other day and decided to tweak my new drink the Daiquarita, and because of the change it deserves a new name.. I present, the Tiki-rita.

3/4 oz lime juice
1/2 oz simple syrup
1/2 oz Velvet Falernum
1/4 oz grenadine
1 oz Goslings Black Seal Rum
1 oz Tres Agave Reposado tequila

oh that's so much better imo.

Happen to come across this 25 year Appleton rum called Joy at Ray's Wine and Spirits. I had read about this but never expected to ever see it locally, so had to buy it. I really enjoy Appleton rums for their funkiness, especially in a mai tai. This definitely has some of that taste, but is much smoother due to the aging. I love the special case and bottle. very much a collector thing and was worth the cost just to say i tried a 25yr rum.

Drink of the day is my version of a tiki drink made with scotch (tiki peat). I don't really like scotch so I substituted larceny but you could use any wheated bourbon. Presenting the Tiki Wheat..

½ oz. Laura’s Mix (equal parts banana liqueur, cinnamon syrup, and dry curaçao)
¼ oz. Demerara syrup
¾ oz. Orgeat
¾ oz. lime juice
1 ½ oz. Larceny or other wheated bourbon
Angostura bitters
Garnish: Mint sprigs, orchid, cinnamon stick
