- Join me as I explore the history behind the iconic "Suffering Bastard" tiki mug and the cocktail that was served in it. Learn the difference between Trader Vic's version and the gin-based libation from Egypt. Plus, special guest Deke Dickerson joins me in The Breezeway for a conversation about the music video I produced for him!
SEE Deke's music video here:
• "Wild Wild Thing" (Off...
To make the SUFFERING BASTARD:
--------------------------------------
1oz dry gin
1oz brandy
1/2oz Rose's Lime Sweetened Juice
2 dashes of Angostura bitters
4oz Gosling's ginger beer
--------------------------------------
Shake everything except for the ginger beer with ice. Stir in ginger beer. Pour unstrained into a Mai Tai Joe mug or a double old-fashioned glass.
Garnish with orange slice and mint sprig.

Never knew you shot Dekes vid, have to say some of my favorite music vid production on youtube
Thank you!
That was a awesome music video! Also if his 60 was a “show car” it wouldn’t have been driven up there and made it into the video. Keep it a driver Deke👍
Created in Shepheard's hotel in Egypt and enjoyed by Rommel... I hope it's with Trader Vic's secret ingredients... Hmmm, Cucumber! Or is it brandy and gin? Also great! Wow, I see the ingredients now. Yum!
This was great, always appreciate being exposed to new things Deke was great!
This is the perfect storm for me! I watched all the spikes breezeway cocktail hours and have followed Deke Dickerson for about 10+ years, since I saw him at the Grand National Roadster show. 2 of my favorite people in this one!!! CHEERS 🍹🧉!! 😎✌️
Great episode with your story about picking up the decanter for .99, and the interview with Deke was awesome!
Great video and Deke. BTW Wild Wild Thang video was incredible.
Thanks so much!
Great to see a Gin based Tiki cocktail, not too many about. Can’t wait for the merch, it’s my birthday coming soon so I’m gonna treat myself to few things!
I’d kill to see Chris Isaak in the Tonga Room! God, I wish I knew then what I know now.🤷♂️🎸 Thanks again, Spike. Deke seems like such a genuine nice guy.
I had no idea the suffering bastard had a Chairo backstory. Thanks for the history lesson!! Definitely need to try this recipe. Also, if you're ever on the central coast of California I highly recommend stopping at the Sort This Out Cellars tiki lounge. A rockabilly wine tasting bar that actually does a killer job on doing tiki drinks based on their wines. It sounds weird I know, but they actually nail it. Great job again as usual Spike!!!!
Oh wow. Finally a drink I already have all the ingredients.
Great video as always! Also...
“I didn’t know Bill Clinton had a band now” lmao 😂
Spike, that was fantastic. About the roads in CA, try WV in a junker town car. Deke interview and drink video was great.
So good.
Thanks dude
Great show. Great interview.
The Suffering Bastard is one of my favorite drinks. I started making it with Laird's Apple Jack instead of brandy and it's a delicious version.
Are you excited?!?
🙌🏼
Great video, Spike! Thank you.
Rose's Lime or Pomegranate cordials are truly classic pre-war cocktail (WWII) ingredients, every bit as legendary as Angostura Bitters. To be truly authentic to the original Cairo recipe would require using either Bombay or Hendrick's gin, Schweppes Ginger Ale, and a French brandy. The classic number one refreshing drink (non-alcoholic) served everywhere across the entire 19th & 20th century colonial empire from Singapore, to India, To Cairo is the 'Lime Squash', using Rose's Lime, simple syrup, and Schweppes club soda.
Interesting. I have Hendricks but the cocktail called for a 'London Dry gin.' Does Hendricks qualify with that? And what about the ginger beer?
@@BreezewayCocktailHour In Britain lighter beer is traditionally referred to as Ale, so originally (1930's40's50's) Schweppes Ginger Ale in the UK is was way stronger, and more like Ale, fermented, and made with actual ginger, but by the 60's the USA it became watered down for American tastes and made more like soda pop, so yes, there's a difference, so what you used was probably closer to the original stuff. My faux pas. Ginger beer has WAY more sugar in it, and way less carbonation than G Ale.
BTW Had to laugh at your being distracted by dripping water in your 'tropical jungle bar' - Mahalo
Alright hard drinkers. Let's drink hard, Spike's buying.
Yup. Pull up a stool!
god damn that sounds so amazing.. always wish i grew up in the golden era but being in your era finding all the leftover shit woulda been nice too
I'd love to go back and thrift pre-Ebay! Can't wait to see the merch & add it to my collection!
Lime cordial is also was used to make the original gin gimlet before people stared to swap it out for lime juice. I really like lime cordial gimlets so much I ended up making lime cordial at home.
Another great video! Looking forward to that tiki mug. 👍🏼
Can’t wait to try this one. Great vid
Loved seeing the BTS stuff from Deke’s video! Super fun. Also that drink always reminds me of the Hula Girl’s song.🗿
☺️
Haha great video, goslings rum is great but idk about goslings ginger beer…a lot of good ones out there.
Great episode, Spike.
You’re the best!
I'd love to see a collaboration with Fez - O - Rama
I use to go to a photography convention in Stockton at the Scottish Rites Temple back in the mid 90’s. There was some hardcore ghetto areas I was told never to go by friends.
Original Dark and Story is actually Goslings rum and Barritt's Ginger Beer. There was a falling out between the two companies at some point and goslings began making their own ginger beer. So the Barrit's is actually more authentic to the original.
Just ordered the EP!
@42:05 "and played while it rained indoors. What was the name of that place?"
"Erm...the Breezeway, apparently" :D
Holy crap he is really in your bar. We have to build a new roof on your bar.
I was recently able to acquire one of these in a lot with a few other tiki cups for $16
Nice Misfits guitar!
🙌🏼👌🏻
In one of his books Jeff Beachbum Berry points out the Rose's Lime Cordial was much higher quality (made from real ingredients) back in the days when these drinks were first created. Today it's a cheap chemical imitation of what it once was. He recommends the El Guapo Lime Cordial which is artisinal and quite good.
Spike someone may have already commented on this but the drink you made was not Vic's, you made the original. Vic stole the name, and as you noted, his Tiki themed version had rum and a garnish of cucumber. Would love it if you make another video with Vic's recipe in the same mug used here, then it will be accurate. Recipe is somewhat challenging to track down as most will simply list Vic's Mai Tai mix as an ingredient rather than break out the real stuff.
Yeah, fucking eBay. I hear you!! I was more into regular vintage, and it was indeed a golden age of finds before eBay.
Thanks for this channel..... we love tiki, and here in Indianapolis (of all places) we have a couple cool places at least to hang: the Inferno Room and La Revolucion. Cheers!!
please make long sleeve white t shirts for the surfer tiki heads! ''spikes breezeway cocktail lounge''
“Oh, what are we talking about?”
& BTW- If you ever need way better 'wild west' locations/backdrops for filming go to Cajon Pass or Chatsworth.
Yeah, I know that a lot of stuff was filmed in Malibu creek near chatsworth but then you get into permits with filming in state parks... and 'way better' than what we found? I don't know how you beat better than what we found.
I’d replace the roses lime with fresh lime and simple
I would usually agree but the recipe specifically calls for Roses lime juice.
The original was made with homemade lime cordial.
