Nice! I was able to have one of these on my first trips to NYC. Sad to hear MoP is closed but I'm happy you saved a good drink from being lost to time.
Great episode! Greetings from Topsail Island where we've already had a couple of gruesome shark bites send swimmers to the hospital. I used to swim the beaches here religiously, but not anymore. I stay outta da shark's house! 😂 I'm ready for Shark Week with my shark head cocktail toppers. I'm working on a libation I'm calling the Topsail Island Terror and another that I'm calling the Surf City Shark Scare. 🦈
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!
Justin I noticed you used only a few drops of the Elemakule bitters, while the recipe says "two dashes". I know they're strong, so is this a personal choice? I thought a dash of those was usually considered to be one squirt from the dropper (which usually fills about 1/3 the way up when you squeeze and fill it). Just curious. Mahalo, and happy Fourth!
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!

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

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.
