Tiki Tuesday

[u/Noodles1171]

Mai Tais seem to be flaunted on the daily, but thought I'd share the one I'm enjoying tonight. I upgraded my syrup game and made the SC recipe with demerara sugar and used vanilla bean paste in lieu of vanilla extract. It's delicious.

3/4 oz lime

1/4 oz demerara syrup

1/2 oz orgeat (I prefer a touch more than the '44 recipe calls for)

1/2 oz dry curacao

1 oz Hamilton 86

1 oz Appleton 12

Spent lime and mucho mint for garnish.

Totally. You can’t even taste the Orgeat in the 44 recipe. I make my own and double it. Happy Tuesday. I don’t normally drink Tuesday through Thursday but working in the home studio today and been enjoying a few Jungle Birds. However I literally just ran out of Campari. May make a store run shortly!

I have the week off, and am prepping for a house party on Sunday. I decided I needed to "practice" lol I have some Campari! Maybe I'll make a Jungle Bird next.

Nice! I actually just hosted a Tiki beach day on Saturday and made a massive amount of Orgeat. So much left over that I’ve been using in my ice coffees in the morning.

Enjoy the week off! And if you make that JB send your specs.

I’ve been using Doctor Bird lately. Maybe my favorite rum for the JB ever!
