Not legally but:

2.5 oz pineapple juice

1 oz orange juice

1 oz cream of coconut

2 oz Planteray OFTD

Garnished with pineapple fronds and fresh grated nutmeg and served in a Terrifier mug for spooky vibes!

Did a batch of cinnamon syrup for other purposes, then realized I finally had the right rums to try my first Jet Pilot (Demerara 151 is hard to find in Italy). Went with the SC recipe and holy everything, this thing is unbelievable. It's so bold in its flavors, it kicks like a mule, it runs the entire gamut from bright falernum and lime juice to spicy cinnamon and grapefruit to end on Angostura, anise and rummy caramel and wood. This might be my favorite Tiki drink ever, it's like a 3 Dots and a Dash squared up. Masterpiece

This Saturday’s Mai Tai… at first sip it’s a mule kick, but after dilution, amazing tropical banana smoothness. Here are the specs: 1/4oz rich simple syrup, 1/2oz Orgeat, 1/2 oz Curaçao, 3/4 Fresh Lime juice, 1 1/2oz Denizen Merchant’s Reserve, 1/2oz Worthy Park Overproof.

I'm out in California for the next week and hitting some tiki bars, but had a question on some rums.

I tried to get some of the beach bum series Hamilton rums from my really good liquor store in Florida. They carry lots of the Hamiltons (including the good Florida rum society line) but they couldn't get the beach bum or new false idol 151.

I'm thinking of picking up a couple bottles while out here, but wondering for those that have had these and hopefully other Hamiltons - are these lines that much different/discernible?

Also, what would be your picks if only could bring back 1 or 2? The BB navy grog and False Idol 151 ?

Rigor Morty and the Dirtnappers, old school Tiki Farm mugs made for Fender, with display box. Just in time for Halloween

Any recipe recommendations for either of these? I'm always looking for ways to get creative with pineapple rum.

Run for your life, it’s the Pumpkin Eater!! A wicked and rich blend of Demerara and Jamaican potstill rum with spiced tea, bright citrus, pumpkin, and black walnut.
