Wife and I got burnt out on our standard house margarita and decided to jump into tiki. Just getting started with this pickup of a few foundational bottles. Any gaps that could use filling or recommendations?

I picked up some Tempus Fugit Creme de Cacao recently and found this recipe when looking for ideas on how to use it. Definite tiki vibes and a fun refreshing drink.

Bahia Sling

• 1½ oz Cachaça (I used Avuá)
• 1 oz Fresh lime juice
• ¾ oz Passion fruit syrup
• ½ oz Crème de Cacao

Garnish:

• Lime wheel
• Sprig of mint
• Edible flower

Instructions:

1. Add the cachaça, lime juice, passion fruit syrup, and crème de cacao to a cocktail shaker.
2. Add a small scoop of crushed ice and shake briefly but vigorously.
3. Strain over fresh crushed ice into a chilled cocktail glass.
4. Garnish with the mint sprig, lime wheel, and edible flower.

I'm korean and going to make tiki cocktails this summer. I want to select rums for making cocktails whatever i want. I would like price under 50$.

Does this work in both categories?

...and then I went to the site and blew a hole in my wallet lol My 20th 21st birthday is next week so this is my gift from me to me.

WHO WANTS MAI TAIS?!

I did not try this but enjoyed the typo

Just really getting into tiki and rum, and it appears I've fallen into the rabbit hole. About a month ago I had Bacardi Superior and some bitters. Just got a shipment from K&L today with Worthy Park 109, Rum Fire, and Rhum JM Terroir Volcanique.

Check out the pictures. Just keep going.

That semi-annual sale email hit my inbox right after an email about a raise and damage was done! Excited to finally get my hands on some bottles not available in PA. If anyone has any recommendations for the Planetary coconut rum I’ll happily take them. 🤩

This is one of the few "specially" rums available where I live. I don't see it called out often in recipes. What drinks does it work well in?

My hope is that it's good enough to be a "workhorse" on my shelf that can replace some special-order-only bottles. If the consensus is that it kinda sucks I guess I'll keep plugging along with the high-price, hard-to-get bottles.

I am planning to visit Taipei, and I was wondering if anyone knows about any places that sell tiki mugs in person. All that I can find online is places that sell ceramics in general (so not a guarantee) or online.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated

I feel like I still need a few rums

This month’s theme was Food.

• 1/2oz lime
• 1/2oz grapefruit
• 1/2oz cinnamon syrup
• 1/2oz falernum
• 1oz Lemonhart 151
• 3/4oz Appleton 12
• 3/4oz Planteray 5 Year
• 1 dash Elamakule tiki bitters
• 1 dash Pernod
• 5 drops saline

The wash line isn't great, these glasses are huge 😅

I really loved this mai tai made with their pecan rum. They have the recipe online so I will try to recreate it at home!

Ideally they’d be new or flawless condition. Either way if not maybe some of use just want a few and one of us buys them and sells/ships the rest to members…

Works well, flavor stand up well to everything else going on in this drink. exploring cocktails with it, im a big fan so far.

How would you recreate the Taro Taro !
I had at Cane Tiki Room in Paso Robles and it was amazing

2oz Charanda Uruapan Blanco
.5oz Daytrip Strawberry Amaro (my addition)
.75oz Lime Juice
1 tablespoon “sugar mix” (equal parts raw and white sugar by weight)
60g frozen strawberries (I’d probably do 90g next time)
170 grams crushed ice
1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (cut it to 1/8th)

Overall pretty good, maybe my strawberries are super flavorful so i wanted a little more but I enjoy it. 1/4 xanthan gum i find is a little too much for one drink it sorta gets a little gummy.
