Yes, Tequila & Mezcal tend to dominate any cocktail, you really have to love the taste to embrace it in a cocktail, let me know your thoughts if you try it and thanks for watching!

Thanks Adam! Finely diced (like in a food processor) or chopped fine either way is "fine" lol, I have to go back and look but one small onion is plenty, probably a typo since I use a template for the recipes and it was probably "stuck" in there from last time. The recipe should be on TikiTriangle.com as well - Mahalo & Cheers!

Nice! What is your favorite? Still experimenting with others. More to come!

@@TikiTriangle A recent favorite is the "Getaway Car" from a place called The Raines Law Room in NYC, which I know nothing about (maybe you've been there?), but it's a great drink: 1 1/2oz pineapple juice 1oz dark rum (I used a 50/50 blend of Appleton 12 and Plantation Stiggins Fancy) 1oz Ancho Reyes liqueur 1/2oz lime juice 1/2oz simple Flash blend/open pour. Brilliant!

@@adambhoy Nice! What was in that? I am very familiar with both Raines Law Room locations, its an interesting Law, it allowed people from out of the country to drink during prohibition if it was a hotel, so they put beds in a room, called it a hotel and made it a speakeasy! Garret J. Richard often hosted Tiki Popups there prior to the Pandemic, fun stuff!!

@@TikiTriangle That's an awesome history of the term, thank you! I'll bet having access to Garret's drinks on a regular basis would be pretty cool! I put in the recipe in my comment above, you should definitely make one! It's pretty easy, no esoteric ingredients really.

@@adambhoy Yes, it was very very cool to have seen Adam semi-regularly before the pandemic, quite a wealth of information. You should check out his book too for more of his recipes! TROPICAL STANDARD.

Honestly, I've had nearly every cocktail I love with white vs. ruby/red graperfruit and prefer the ruby. White I loved when I was younger and we can still get it. I like to taste/test cocktails with both, especially for the retro/nostalgic taste of white, but I can see why ruby has replaced white here in the NYC metro. As for freezing, they will loose some zip and get more acidic, but frozen is better than pasteurized any day. Try making Super Juice like in episode #2457 THEN freeze it, I think you have much better results... let me know if you try it!

Yes I have not used it enough, so many cocktails so little time!

Thanks! I been to many distilleries before but this one really puts some light on true American history as well!

Thanks! Love a Jet Pilot! The problem is I can only have one these days, most don't realize it's simply just a variant of a Zombie, but I love the addition of cinnamon syrup rather than grenadine. One drink Lee's knows how to make correctly is their own version, known as the Islander Zombie - PROCEED WITH CAUTION! Cheers!

They had a couple of flaming dishes, but I think it's not on the menu anymore (Volcanic Beef), this one was Orange Beef, delicious. I have no doubt the Tiki Tiki cocktail could use some help, but that is the beauty of it, its simple, anyone can really make it and one sip of it and you feel like you are at Lee's - its their basic flavor profile and it is nothing special but definitely hits the spot while dining there if its done right! When I have a chance, I am going to try your version of it!

@@TikiTriangle Okole maluna!

They are 2 very different places for sure, but both should be on your list most definitely! Kowloon is more loud/crowded, but Lee's is more tranquil and quiet. Visit both if you have the chance but they are at least a 4-5 hour drive apart.

Also, check out Episode #2110 I did on Kowloon 3yrs ago if it helps! th-cam.com/video/r8Nj1_QuquU/w-d-xo.html

@@TikiTriangle thank you very much. I will check out the other vid!

We all do! It's all we got left in these parts. I visit every chance I get. Thanks for watching!

I have others from there too, hope to share them soon, thanks!

Let me double check on that! I just got back from vacation in Nashville and plan to report on some of the "Tiki" bars and craft cocktail scene there. However I am thinking you are right, "dash" was left in there in reference to Angostura - I hope to streamline/standardize addition of bitters too in either drops or 1/8 ounces (probably 1-2 dashes), thanks!

@@TikiTriangle oh cool, looking forward to that content!

Wow! I think they are becoming more common - I wonder how updated the statistics are? Can't wait to see your recipe for the cocktail, pls let me know if you post it and/or if you want me to test it privately or in public - Cheers!

Oh no! Maybe they are becoming more frequent?? I never go in that deep anymore, even in the Caribbean, just not my thing to swim in the ocean.

I don't buy or read a lot of books, especially on cocktails, but that one for sure is one to have in the collection, its so well done, even if its just sitting on the coffee table its impressive!

Yes, its a light, not over-proofed cocktail so this has the equivalent of about 1.5 ounces of 80proof liquor (most have 2 ounces), so it should be fine!

Genuine & nice for sure, something you don't see much of anymore, and he was a legend in the cocktail revival. I definitely have to hear that airport conversation sometime, perhaps in private! lol. I am not big on blondes but Daryl Hannah definitely was one of my favorites, I even saw Jackson Browne in Concert once (her ex), When I meet young people today and they tell me their name is Madison I tell them about Splash and they say "I know my parents named me after that" makes me feel old like I am referring to a 1940s movie lol. Thanks for watching!!

I agree, I've had the Total Tiki App at least 8-9 years and I literally refer to it every day or every other day. If you get tired of the same old drinks, you look up what you can and cannot make so you don't default to the same old cocktail and/or discover a new ones! The history and graphics are fantastic too!

Thanks Adam, I agree, I think 2 weeks at best, the problem is I made the episode before the full 2 weeks lapsed, but certainly better than squeezing more than 2-3hours in advance and having the taste diminish so quickly.

@@TikiTriangle Alright I made a batch using your quick-and-easy formula Justin! I'm going to monitor it every day and track how long it lasts until it starts getting that metallic "it's gone off" taste. Usually I use one lime, peel it, weigh the peels and do math based on that to determine how much acid and water I need, but your way is really so much easier, even if its more than I'd usually make in a batch. Mahalo for that!

@@adambhoy Yes, the math should not fail you as long as the digital scale doesn't either, mine weighs down to the 10th of a gram, in fact the batch I used was half, I don't need a liter of lime juice unless its a party, and even then that is a bit ambitious lol.

Should be out in a few weeks! I got a great segment on Curacao in there - they do tiki good! (figures lol)

@@TikiTriangle Fantatsic!

It was a good base, I think I just went there on the wrong day/time - good riddance! LOL

I never thought of it like that, but I think a painkiller is much stronger and thicker/richer - it's a good alternative for sure! I was impressed they took the time to put nutmeg on top like they do with a Painkiller :D

Thats a good idea, I do put a graphic in the episode with the ingredients and instructions but I am never sure where to put it, so I generally put it just before I start making the recipe rather than at the very beginning or the very end. Thanks!

@@TikiTriangle Description is always the easiest so that way we don't have to pause you ;) Keep up the good work!!

Yea, I will take my chances with a Bloody Mary, even though that is my least favorite cocktail in the world, but gotta try everything at least once!

@@TikiTriangle I'm in complete agreement, I think it's my least favorite as well. I've never been much for "savory" cocktails I guess.

It is my hope that in every new episode I can offer a non-alcoholic version of a similar cocktail, working on it!

thanks i look fordward to the nexts mocktails@@TikiTriangle

I bought it years ago, not sure if they still make it, but they sell them in most big stores in the kitchen section like Target - here is a link to the Rabbit company website: www.rabbitwine.com - the product is not flawless but it saves the step of having to use a spatula to get honey and thick things out of a jigger, especially if you bake!

Zombie was on the menu too, that was my 2nd choice. It seemed closer to the real thing too. Next time 😂

Let me know if a different gin helps, I just couldn't taste the Grand Mariner which is probably the best thing about this cocktail :D

Thanks! My first SHAG tiki shirt, I bought another, but rarely do I spend that much on Tiki shirts, I usually wait for them to go on clearance at the end of the season for 25-50% off, but I do have a few vintage ones I spent good money on and I keep in good condition!

It was really a nice getaway even for a couple hours, long backstory but the landlord and covid brought out the worst in everyone.

Yes, it is one of my favorites of all time, but I don't care for the name either, it comes from a doctor who promised millionaires youth by injecting them with monkey hormones. Regardless, its a great drink!

Nice! Yes I have Matt's book too (he actually wrote a section on Rum in my book). I used the Beachbum Total Tiki App but should have looked at Minimalist Tiki too - great book!
