Yes, we had another tiki challenge past weekend, and this time the crazy rummy freaks was making pictures, experiments, twists and amazing drunken rituals with another classic tiki drink: Jet Pilot.

Searching on the Bum books I found the recipe of the Jet Pilot on the Sippin’ Safari, it was the version of The Luau Restaurant on Beverly Hills (circa 1958) and it calls for: 1/2oz lime juice, 1/2oz grapefruit juice, 1/2oz cinnamon syrup, 1/2oz falernum, 1oz dark jamaican rum, 3/4oz gold puerto rican rum, 3/4oz Lemonhart 151 Demerara, 1 dash Angostura bitters, 6 drops Pernod.

This past weekend challenge was the #fogcutterchallenge2015 …and of course I want to participate!!! At this time I made 2 different twists on two different versions of this classic tiki drink.

The Fog Cutter is a blend of rum, brandy and gin…it’s the Long Island Ice Tea of the tiki drinks, created by Trader Vic, he wrote about his creation “After two of these, you won’t ever see the stuff”. This was his third most famous drink.

Rum Review: Ti Arrangés de Ced’ Vanille Macadamia

in Rums on September 12, 2014 February 17, 2019 0

Les Rhums de Ced’ is the personal project of Cédric Brement. He started creating rhums arrangés at home ten years before than he starts with Les Rhums de Ced’, testing his experimental products with friends and family, but, after, the friends of his friends started to order his rhums arrangés, and he decided to start with that project three years ago. Cédric had a great philosophy: he only works with fresh fruits, locally produced or transported by air, to ensure the freshness of the flavors and the aromas of the fruits. He only uses Agricole AOC Rhum from Martinique and Bourbon vanilla for his rum infusions. The fruits are cutted with knife and bottled by hand, making each bottle a handmade limited edition.

The Bitter Jamaican

in Cocktails on August 29, 2014 February 17, 2019 0

Taking a look inside the cocktail book Left Coast Libations, in the chapter about the city of San Francisco, I found an interesting recipe of the bartender Yanni Kehagiaras called The Bitter End. Automatically, I needed to do it…but I wanted to make a twist on the rums…the recipe calls for a Flor de Caña Aged White 4 years rum, and I used the Rum Nation Jamaica White Pot Still. Also, I changed the Angostura Bitters for a Jerry Thomas Own Decanter Bitters and the Velvet Falernum for Homemade Falernum. I doubled the amount of juices in the recipe.

Pot Still Punch #2

On the past post, I made a review of the Rum Nation Jamaica White Pot Still Limited Edition 2014 and also published the recipe of the tiki drink Jasper’s Jamaican. Today, I’m still tasting that fantastic rum on cocktails and I think the best way is creating a new tiki recipe for the occasion.

Lenina

in Cocktails on August 7, 2014 February 17, 2019 0

Lenina is a cocktail that our friend Mauri Jiménez shares with us, this is his new creation presented to the cocktail competition Putting Pen to Shaker 2014 presented by The Poshmakers.

This is a cocktail with tiki inspiration because he compares “The Reserve” with Polinesia. This drink receives the name for one of the protagonists of the book “Un Mundo Feliz” (Brave New World) written by Aldous Huxley.

Navy Coco Cola

in Cocktails Tiki on July 31, 2014 February 17, 2019 0

Yes, I love the pineapples. Every day I eat about a half of a fresh pineapple for breakfast.

The other day, I was thinking about that I’ll drink a rum cola after dinner while I was cooking, and when I was hollowing a pineapple preparing it for the morning breakfast an idea comes to me…and I reserve the hollowed pineapple on the fridge.
