I accidentally made one of these legit before sitting down to watch some youtubes, and this was at the top of my page. Now I know that this drink has a name. hehe. Thank you!
3 years late to the party, I have to say that it is nuts how great this cocktail is with many different rum mixtures. A float of Rum Fire can also be a massive boost to the character of the drink, in case the rum mixture doesn't quite pan out.
I was scrolling through the tube this evening when this video popped up. Since I finally picked up some demerara rum (El Dorado 12, paired with Don Q Gold) so I had to try this. Definitely glad I did!
Wonderful work, I made this with your grenadine syrup, fresh lime juice, Kraken rum, and some largo bay spiced rum. It was delightfully refreshing. Wish I had some gold rum on hand but it still worked well with what I had on hand.
Do you remember what Kraken rum it was? I have had too many bottles to count of Kraken spiced rum and I didn't know Kraken made anything other than spiced
A good modification to this drink, but a bit of an edge case. We had about a 2 litres of very light syrup left over after processing a bushel of peaches for canning so I put it on the cooktop to reduce (down to about 500 ml). I used that in place of the grenadine and it was so good. I call it the Shrunken Peach.
Yessssss!! I feared I would have to drink another Long Island 🏝️...while I waited. I'll be enjoying during Texas Tiki Week. Miss your face IRL. Thank you both!
I have a request, Anders. You choose many different brands of a spirit. In this case, the Hamilton 86 Demerara Rum. Given that most tiki drinks (which I love!) have a blend of white, gold, and dark rum, I'd really appreciate your take on decent commonly available rums for each category. Thanks in advance!
I’ve made this for myself a few times the. For some friends and the wife since watching this and I must say it’s a crowd pleaser. Even next to the famous Mai Tai this one was rated even higher. For the rums, I’ve been using a double Denizen blend, which really gets me 4 rums. Denizen Vatted Dark (80% Demerara/20% Agricole and 100 proof) and Denizen Aged White (80% Trinidad/20% Jamaica).
I made myself two Hurricanes yesterday (by Cara Devine's recipe) and it sounds a lot like this Shrunken Skull. Here's what I had in each: 60ml Appleton Estate Signature Blend, 60 ml Plantation 3 Star, 60 ml home made passion syrup and 60 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice. The passion syrup made it really sweet as I assume your grenadine also does.
I look forward to messing around more with tiki variations! First attempt was with a hamilton pot still black and the overripe banana really shines through along with some of the black pepper on the finish!
it’s Reed from the future - did you ever get a flash blender? getting warmer for us Northern Hemisphere folks i think we are due for some more tiki drink recipes!
Somewhat random/OT, but the intro got me super intrigued by your arm tattoo. Do you have many other tattoos? Any chance of getting a tattoo tour in the future?
Okay, i just tried this one as follows: 1.5 oz lime, 1.5 of flor de caña 7, 1 oz don Q cristal, 0.5 oz mt gay eclipes, 1 oz homemade grenadine. Omfg, this combo of rums!11 i have NEVER enjoyed any othe shurnken skull as much as i enjoy this one.
Sorry, another comment here… Don Q is from Puerto Rico and used to be one of my favorites when I lived in Mayaguez. It is pronounced don-coo. Ron Superior used to be my favorite but then Bacardi bought them and now its called Bacardi Superior and it’s all a marketing thing. Tom KC3QAC
Please Please make a good El Presidente! 99% of the bars f*s it up when I ordered them, it’s a beautiful drink when made right but a horrible one when they don’t pay attention. You could show us how to make a good one. Love your videos as always, you are the best bro. 💪
Hello Anders, I have been curious for a minute...do you use a shorter tiki glass because of the name of the cocktail hence the "shrunken...I noticed this in two separate vids...assuming you could use a tall tiki glass without changing the ratios. Thanks for your videos and time!
Hi Anders. Great video, as allways. I don't have a demerara Rum. At the moment I only have Havana Club Añejo Especial, Bacardi Oakhart, Bacardi Carta Negra and a couple of different Appleton rums. I plan to get a demerara Rum, but till then can you please give me a suggestion, what would be best of my rums? Thanks in advance
Thanks, Tolga! I'd probably start by using the Havana Club Añejo Especial with the Bacardi Carta Negra for this one - but honestly any blend of what you have would be tasty. Hope you enjoy this one! Cheers!
Just found your channel recently, which is great by the way, so sorry about the late question/comment. Would an immersion blender be good for home use over a milkshake blender? Cheaper and easier to store. Just wondering.
Hey Anders, had a quick question on the rum here. How does the Hamilton 86 compare to the Hamilton 151? Do you know what the main differences are and can they be substituted here?
One of them is 86 proof (43% ABV) and the other 151 proof (75.5% ABV), so one if you make this recipe with the 151 Hamilton you will certainly be falling on the floor faster
I love your channel and I keep recommending it to people. I’m in Canada and I can’t get Hamilton. I wish we could, but it’s nowhere here. Can you suggest some alternatives?
Any Demerara should work since DDL (Demerara Distillers Limited) is the only rum distillery in Guyana. Their own brand is El Dorado. But do beware, El Dorado has added sugar whereas something like Hamilton does not. There’s a Denizen with Demerara but it’s also 20% Rhum Agricole. Just using that could make an interesting variant.
Hey Anders! You should make some special long format videos that are like "mix-alongs" with less jump cuts and enough time for someone to follow along and mix their drink while watching the video. Would be fun! :)
Can it be that shrunken skull is lill bit similar to planters punch?althought many recipes exist for every drink,..for example,.my planters punch is with pimento dram and some versions without.regards
Mhhh the only Guyana / Demerara Rums I have are Pusser's Gunpowder Proof and Plantation OFTD... and the only Gold Rum(s) I do have are: Bacardi 8yo, Havana Club 7 (is that one even considered Golden Rum)... Anyways. Ya'll think I can make one with my Booze?
I think it's wonderful that he has a clock in the background that says five o'clock.... Because, you know.....booze, lol
Yes I have the same thing it's 5 o'clock some where and it's always the same time at my bar lol
Great way to use a broken clock, too!
"...or not, do whatever you want." Classic quote. Thank you for your videos. I'm looking forward to making this Tiki drink.
I accidentally made one of these legit before sitting down to watch some youtubes, and this was at the top of my page. Now I know that this drink has a name. hehe. Thank you!
I thought the palm umbrellas looked pretty cool! Never seen them before. Thanks for the video, easy drink- looks delicious 😋
Finally got around to making fresh grenadine! Can’t stress how fresh grenadine vs cheap store bought changes this drink
3 years late to the party, I have to say that it is nuts how great this cocktail is with many different rum mixtures. A float of Rum Fire can also be a massive boost to the character of the drink, in case the rum mixture doesn't quite pan out.
El Dorado 5 and Cruzan Dark served over pebble ice. Great drink!
Love the video editing. The slow pans on the rum bottles really showcases things. Kudos to whoever is behind the camera! Keep up the good work
This was the perfect cocktail to use ingredients I have. I used Goslings and J. Wray Jamaican Gold Rum. My wife and I enjoyed it.
Love how simple this is. Thank you!

The tiki statue made it for me! Another great drink video you two!
I think the statue will have to be a staple for tiki videos 🤔
@@AndersErickson preferably not, it’s a religious figure
Tiki drinks are my favorites!
That looks delicious. Tiki always makes me happy.
Like me buddy,..i am a huge tiki fan,..my favorite is mai tai,.mr.bali hai,..and chief lapu lapu
@@_-_-_-Prof.BoskoBiathi-_-_-_ I have never tried the "Chief Lapu Lapu". I will looked it up as now I am very intrigued. 🙂 Cheers!

Seeing your Piña Colada video I see you kept your word! ❤️
Just made it tonight. Delicious. Very similar to your Mai Tai, which I’m obsessed with!
Yessssss!! I feared I would have to drink another Long Island 🏝️...while I waited.
I'll be enjoying during Texas Tiki Week. Miss your face IRL. Thank you both!
Yeah maybe ease up on the Long Islands 😂

The video editing and the quality is fantastic 🤯you deserve 100K subscribers
Thank you 🙏
Another awesome video! My current favorite rum is Old New Orleans Cajun spice rum. I'll sip it neat like it's whiskey. I should branch out though.
Good call! There are so many different rums out there. It's mind boggling. You've started your journey with a good bottle though!
That’s a Tiki I can get started with! 👍🏻

6:01 They look like pot leaves. lol The fronds are nice. Long live tiki!
Wow! gotta try this!
I love the frozen pineapple tip, thank you!! 🍍🍍🍍
They sure come in handy! Cheers 🍍 🥂
I agree! I'm going to use that idea myself!
I’m getting a big fan of your Tiki Cocktails! Super dope 🤙🌴🤙🌴

Blackwell Jamaican rum is the bomb

Never had this one! Gotta give it a try!
Please do! Super simple tiki option - and tastes wonderful. Cheers!
More tiki recipes please!
I make my own grenadine and I have a tiki-que glass, so I have to make this. Thanks Anders!
You’re going to love it!! 🍹😋
I’m getting a big fan of your Tiki Cocktail Videos! Super dope!!! 🌴 💀 🌴
Amazing channel, now i know what i will do tomorrow (watch all your vids) 😁🙏
Thanks! Happy you found the channel!
Great work, as always, you two! Now the weekend has been launched! Wait. It’s 9am. What am I doing?
I like the marie brizard grenadine syrup
Hi Anders! I don't have Demerara rum in my country, I can do the cocktail with a little Demerara syrup?
Rums I’m drinking.
Bundaberg OP Rum.
Bacardi Rum.
☮️💚
Similar to the classic Daquiri variant called the ‘Bacardi cocktail’ I knew in the 80’s
It’s always 5 o’clock!

I like to do a mix of grenadine and cinnamon syrup in mine!
Good video

Used Lemon Hart 151 and Cruzan Aged Dark rum tonight. Chef's kiss. But be careful!
Lemon hart 151 is life.🙏🙌
Please Please make a good El Presidente!

You could show us how to make a good one.
Love your videos as always, you are the best bro. 💪
I've added it to the list! I LOVE a well made El Presidente. Great call!!
Anders Erickson that’s great 👍 I can’t wait.
How do you make your grenadine? With pomegranate molasses?
Yep I use pomegranate molasses 👍
Here’s a link to my exact recipe:

Is that clock always set to 5:00? 5 o’clock somewhere?
Where did you get those straws mate ?
Where did you get that Tiki statue? Really cool!
Hey where ya get them straws?
Does the 'shrunken skull' refers to the morning after feeling, whne you got too many of them???
Creepin' it real!
Just found your channel recently, which is great by the way, so sorry about the late question/comment. Would an immersion blender be good for home use over a milkshake blender? Cheaper and easier to store. Just wondering.
I do believe that is commonly used instead
The difference is the flash blender is more like a milkshake frother…it does not destroy the ice.
I was under the impression that all orchids are edible. At least, I've just been eating them willy-nilly and I'm still here
I love the focus on the drink.. and not so much the garnish ... not so fussed over

This sounds great! Do you have a link to the straws that you use? I have metal ones but yours look better for tiki.

Ultimate grenadine cocktail says you? I enjoys this a lot but it's got some stiff competition from the Mexican Firing Squad for me.
If the cup is made of aluminum it gets cold quickly too.
So was classic Tiki Blended, and not Shaken? I assume they would have blended without ice.
Where can I get that Tiki statue?
Is 20 year old rum from Dominican Republic still good to drink
Alan Jackson & Jimmy Buffett,,,, it's 5 o'clock somewhere
Mhhh the only Guyana / Demerara Rums I have are Pusser's Gunpowder Proof and Plantation OFTD... and the only Gold Rum(s) I do have are: Bacardi 8yo, Havana Club 7 (is that one even considered Golden Rum)... Anyways. Ya'll think I can make one with my Booze?
Absolutely - any combo will be good. I'd suggest trying the Plantation OFTD with the Havana Club 7 or Bacardi 8. Cheers!
