Text of the page (random words):
ew minutes an ironic thought came to my mind after living lifetimes apart from each other our grandmother s only two grandchildren were together thinking about her and talking about her at the very moment of her passing after things calmed down we all wondered if we should continue our evening as planned or if we were even up for it brief deliberation concluded our grandmother would have wanted us to drink and be merry and so that s what we did what were we drinking that night you ask i don t remember everything but two things that i do were our house drink the hwalisa and some tonics mixed with my homemade gin thanks again to paul and fred for this august tradition may its spirit remain in its absence posted by dj hawaiianshirt at 3 45 pm 19 comments labels mixology monday monday november 21 2016 mixology monday cxii bacon eggs and booze thanks to gary of doc elliot s mixology for hosting this month s mixology monday the theme this time around is brunch drinks a group of libations with which i have a bone to pick brunch drinks are plenty delicious so what s the problem they re not boozy enough that s what i don t exactly need a zombie at brunch but mimosas don t quite do the trick maybe it s a curse being a heavyweight at brunch a guilty pleasure of mine as of recent is gin champagne try it next time you re at an open bar there s something about it that is similar to a gin tonic can you see where i m going with this this recipe took a lot of tinkering to get the proportions right but i think i ve done it if you have a bottle of the cheap sparkling stuff stashed away somewhere pop it and give me your thoughts breakfast tonic 2 oz sparkling white wine 1 5 oz london dry gin 1 5 oz tonic water build in a collins glass then add ice and citrus peel until it s full posted by dj hawaiianshirt at 9 16 pm 1 comment labels champagne gin original remix recipes sunday march 27 2016 review wicked dolphin silver rum as a spirit industry rum has become more and more prolific over the last 10 years or so i recently tasted a new rum on the market that was made from white granulated sugar distillers are quickly learning that you don t need to own a sugar cane field in the caribbean in order to produce rum and yet many rum producers outside of the caribbean still import molasses from the islands others purchase molasses from local cane producers enter wicked dolphin a rum distillery that s only a few years old located in florida wicked dolphin s rums are pot distilled from the juice of cane cut from fields that are only minutes away from the distillery this marks one of the few american rum productions which sources fermentation material locally in the tradition of more staid american spirit industries like whiskey and apple brandy the result is the beginning of an aspect to wicked dolphin s products that i wouldn t hesitate to call terroir the bottle that i have batch 13 was sent to me as a gift for review nose despite the fact that wicked dolphin is distilled from cane juice you wouldn t be able to tell by the nose the first few wafts have a sweetness and buttery ness that will belie a molasses rum along with butter there s vanilla light brown sugar and gentle wood there s a freshness that i can only describe as running water a big whiff ends with a slight alcoholic spark that s pleasantly subdued taste the butter continues on the tongue the traditional white rum vanilla notes manifest here as butter and butterscotch the mouth feel has a noticeable viscosity its sweet state on the tongue will once again make you think this is not cane rum it s at this time that the alcohol will remind you it s there on your tongue and the roof of your mouth the finish has a freshness that s reminiscent of the chlorophyll of crisp lettuce perhaps that s the sugar cane s grassiness trying to come through mixing i find that because rums can vary so widely so can their mixability the bottom of the scale grinds from the drown it in cola stuff all the way up to the don t you dare mix that nectar of the gods my take is that wicked dolphin white falls somewhere between fruity drinks and drunk straight it plays perfectly in a daiquiri or a subtle mixer like soda or ginger ale conclusion i ve drunk too many shitty american rums the fact that wicked dolphin is imminently drinkable combined with its honest american end to end production make it quite noteworthy some price checks will have you learn that wicked dolphin white will cost between 20 25 are there better rums for cheaper absolutely but buying wicked dolphin will yield a great drink as well as pay american workers all the while helping develop the southern florida rum terroir i look forward to seeing how the wicked dolphin distillery and rums mature going forward posted by dj hawaiianshirt at 9 39 am 2 comments labels review rum wednesday march 16 2016 mxmo 107 the best amaretto sour in the world a big round of thanks to dagreb for once again hosting this month s mixology monday and this time he has a clever theme and an even cleverer title overproof spirits is really a theme i can get behind i ve been known to have a few bottles of such things lying around and what s more dagreb has firmly defined his theme of overproof to be at least over 100 proof so we re not going to be seeing any sissies thinking they re hot with their whiskies bottled in bond i m going to keep up the shitty drink theme that i ve got going and post another this time it comes from one of our booze blogging forefathers jeffrey morgenthaler he claims that he makes the best amaretto sour in the world and his secret is cask strength bourbon how could he not have your attention the result is delicious the bourbon acts as a force multiplier and isn t even noticeable in the final result check it out morgenthaler s amaretto sour 1 5 oz amaretto 75 oz cask strength bourbon 1 oz lemon juice 1 tsp rich simple syrup 1 2 oz egg white dry shake then shake with ice double strain into an old fashioned glass filled with ice garnish with lemon peel and cocktail cherry cheap amaretti are usually sweeter than the expensive stuff you may not need need to add the syrup when you make the drink posted by dj hawaiianshirt at 5 58 pm no comments labels bourbon cocktail liqueur mixology monday recipes monday february 29 2016 bahama mama when i was a wee lad wearing a much smaller hawaiian shirt my family took a vacation to the bahamas one of the most memorable moments from the trip was my being heartbroken over customs telling me that i couldn t bring a coconut on the airplane home oh well one of the other things i remember from the trip was that my parents sucked down bahama mama s the whole time they even gave me a sip on a few nights do i remember the finer tasting notes of the stuff no but what i do remember is that i tasted coconut and banana and that its color was a jewel like dark red it turns out that the bahama mama is not just one of many monikers slapped onto overly sweet caribbean crap drinks but it actually is a concoction that while varying from source to source is a drink unto itself and will usually contain dark rum coconut rum orange juice pineapple juice and grenadine on this final leap day of tiki month 2016 i look back to a particularly poignant post from our tiki month proprietor doug winship who shared a post by modern tiki maven humuhumu on what she defines a tiki drink to be while i love being nerdy and pedantic i fall nearer in opinion to what doug defines as tiki which is a bit more gentle further doug has parroted see what i did there the idea that drinks can also be tiki compliant lifting the central pole of the tiki tent higher to encompass more of what might be discussed as tiki well today i m giving you a drink that s most certainly not a tiki drink and really not tiki compliant either what is it it s a recipe that i ve spent years tinkering with my goal was to re create what i tasted when i was kid in the bahamas but also to make a mean of the recipes out there that still captures the spirit of the drink oh and to ensure it wasn t also a goopy tasteless mess but look we re slumming it today guys you should use a rum that s colored with molasses or caramel your coconut rum and liqueur should come from the middle shelf of your local store not ordered off a website because it s so high quality and rare this recipe requires the cheap stuff the only thing you can t skimp on is grenadine use the real thing while proper grenadine will never give it the mesmerizing ruby color the drink needs it the dj s bahama mama 2 oz jamaican dark rum myers or coruba 1 oz orange juice 1 oz pineapple juice 5 oz coconut rum 5 oz creme de banane 5 oz grenadine shake with ice and strain into a double old fashioned glass filled with crushed ice posted by dj hawaiianshirt at 7 43 pm 2 comments labels recipes rum tiki thursday february 18 2016 simple zombie cocktail happy tiki month 2016 one of the most iconic tiki drinks of all time is the zombie cocktail by don the beachcomber aside from the fact that the drink itself evolved bit by bit during the 20th century the notorious secrecy with which the beachcomber and his competitors operated their bar programs way back when has resulted in a multitude of recipes for the zombie as far as i can tell the only things that they all have in common are rum and being high proof most have grapefruit juice but not all for a few years now i ve had one such recipe scrawled on the inside of the back cover of my grog log i swear that i wrote it down when i saw beachbum berry post it years ago but now i can t find any trace of it on the internet except here i know i didn t dream it up can anyone source it the recipe is a simplified zombie whatever that might mean it ignores some of the more nuanced and exotic ingredients and instead sticks to a skeleton crew of more commons ones while still claiming to capture the flavor of the 1934 original true or not zombie or not this is a delicious drink and it s easy to make it s my go to recipe along with the reverb crash for impressing guests wanting a tiki drink who can handle something bitter and or complex simple zombie 1 oz dark jamaican rum 5 oz 151 proof rum any type 1 oz grapefruit juice 75 oz lime juice 5 oz cinnamon syrup shake with ice cubes strain into glass with more ice cubes posted by dj hawaiianshirt at 8 45 pm 1 comment labels cocktail recipes rum tiki thursday september 24 2015 mixology monday orange juice roundup if trying to mix booze with orange juice is a battle then the legions of mixology monday just laid a merciless siege on the house of citrus peels and pulp everywhere i d have it no other way for a remixmo i m thoroughly pleased by both the success and the effort resulting from this endeavor huzzah to everyone and now to the booze pete of the meticulous mixing blog clearly speaks my mixological language though our mother tongues may be different though wont to mix his oj with rum he resists this time and gives us two original remixes that i ll be needing to mix up posthaste as if playing to my style pete chooses a few other less used elements like honey whiskey southern comfort and chocolate vodka ingredients which i ve enjoyed mixing myself i ll let his rumless post slide as the rest of it seethes with creativity and pluck thankfully the siren call of tiki did not go unheeded for this challenge and our mxmo patron saint fred of the cocktail virgin slut is the first to post a remix of old that is simple but meticulously constructed for balance exactly what the doctor ordered beca of the drink shrubs blog wrests my remixmo theme and forces it to conform with her own something which i welcome in a decidedly tiki style move she deliberately chooses her rum by caribbean island specifically for its unique character she also tops the mix with a bit of sparkling wine a technique of which i m a huge fan and will be writing about soon andrea of the gin hound pipes in and informs me of a method i never knew about using trader vic s eastern sour as a template using various base spirits as you fancy she whips out her joven mezcal for a truly interesting remix for doc elliot s mixology the doc holds fast to a fairly tiki theme throughout he comes at us with an eyebrow raising mix of oj and bourbon a dessert drink with coffee foam and a tiki standard that i hadn t yet heard of before my boy dagreb claims to recycle more rum bottles than anything else after i remarked my most recycled is gin he proves it by posting a rum oj drink that i like for several reasons the first being that it s forgiving with the type of rum and juice used and second being that it s just fine built and stirred for when you re too lazy to shake or if like me you don t want more dishes to clean leigh of salt and bitters goes after my heart by saying first i had never thought about the fact that orange juice was so rare in cocktails and then it s because it s really fucking hard to work with eloquent and blunt her answer is an original remix named like an academic paper and since i too want to put canned chipotle adobo sauce in everything the drink sits just fine with me joel of the southern ash blog stumbles upon how well oj and tequila mix together something i ve been wanting to experiment with for quite a while now and as a resident of the washington dc area and a political junkie how can i not love another drink named after taxes scott of shake strain and sip takes a remix of old and updates it in a breathtaking way this is the perfect example of to use new and revived ingredients to make a tired potable notable again no no no touché to you mr scott christa and shaun the booze nerds choose this month to sing praises to an aforementioned concoction from trader vic the eastern sour it doesn t get much better than this a tiki drink that shirks rum and gives you a lesson in sweet sour balance maybe this mxmo 101 is about lessons in booze after all jfl of rated r cocktails benefits from the oj s vitamin c as he mixes some diddies and fights off the flu i myself like alcohol s numbing effects while sick but you need to be careful jfl pairs the unlikely duo of demerara and white haitian rum which i ve never even had with some heavy spiced and herbal ingredients for a juggernaut that must taste complex as hell i m
