All these classic drinks use readily available products and are guaranteed to produce exceptional drinking experiences. They're all highly recommended.
If you like these I'll put up some classics using other spirits
Anejo Highball
40ml Aged Cuban Rum
20ml Orange Curacao
20ml lime juice
dash bitters
Ginger beer
Method: build in glass
Glass: hi-ball
Garnish: Orange and Lime
Comment: A contemporary classic from Mr Dale DeGroff. A tribute to the holy trinity of Caribbean rum drinks, lime, curacao and rum
Mai Tai (Trader Vic’s)
50ml Aged Jamaican Rum
20ml Orange Curacao
20ml Lime juice
20ml Syrup d’orgeat
10ml gomme
Method: shake and strain over cracked ice
Glass: double old fashioned
Garnish: Mint sprig
Comment: ‘Trader’ Vic Bergeron claims to have created this drink for friends of his at his bar in Oakland, CA. The couple who had just returned from Polynesia exclaimed ‘Mai Tai Roe Ae’ meaning “the best, out of this world” Anyhow this drink was originally made with Wray and Nephew 17 y.o which is unavailable except for a few bottles in the hands of collectors
Variation: ‘Trader’ Vic’s mentor Don the Beachcomber might well have fixed the original Mai Tai, a very different concoction, equal parts Cuban and Jamaican rums, lime, grapefruit, falernum, grenadine, Cointreau and a dash of Absinthe. Or if you can be bothered roast some Pineapple and muddle it into the Vic’s recipe above.
Mary Pickford
50ml Cuban rum
50ml FRESH pineapple juice
bar spoon grenadine
dash maraschino
Method: shake and strain
Glass: large martini
Garnish: lime twist
Comments: This drink was created at the Hotel Nacional in Cuba in the 1920’s for silent film star Mary Pickford. This drink is made or broken by the quality of pineapple juice used. Made with fresh pineapple juice it is a simple, easy to drink, summer aperitif, made with cheap carton juice it is a nasty, sickly Alco pop.
Mojito
50ml White Rum
25ml Lime juice
20ml gomme syrup
8 mint leaves
dash of soda (optional)
Method: add all of the ingredients to a hi-ball glass and swizzle with crushed ice.
Glass: Hi-ball
Garnish: Mint sprig
Comments: The British navy has been mixing rum, lime, mint and sugar for over 400 years, however the modern incarnation of this Cuban classic probably came together during prohibition, when the drinking cultures of Cuba and America began to merge.
Variations: again, some fresh fruit or different herbs work well, replace the mint with basil and muddle some strawberries, for example
Pina Colada
50ml Golden Rum
5-6 large chunks of pineapple
25ml Coco Lopez
pinch of salt
Method: blend with crushed ice
Glass: Hurricane
Garnish: Pineapple leaf and cherry
Comments: The Pina Colada was created at the Caribe Hilton in Puerto Rico in 1951. The recipe was sold to Coco Lopez, then a local fruit company, and the recipes creator, a lowly bartender in the hotel, died impoverished
Pineapple Fix
50ml Aged Rum
25ml lemon juice
20ml sugar syrup
3 chunks pineapple
Method: muddle pineapple, shake other ingredients, strain over cubed ice
Glass: Rocks
Garnish: Pineapple leaf
Comments: A fix constitutes a spirit, lemon, and some kind of sweet fruit served short, this is one of the finest examples of this genre.
Planter’s Punch
25ml light rum
20ml Demerara rum
10ml Orange curacao
50ml Fresh Orange
50ml Pineapple
15ml lime juice
10ml simple syrup
dash grenadine
dash angostura
Method: shake and strain over cubed ice
Glass: Hi-Ball
Garnish: Orange and cherry
Comment: This is one version of many for the classic plantation sunshine drink. Refreshing, balanced and delicious. Some version of this drink has been enjoyed in the Caribbean for a couple of hundred years.
Swizzle
50ml Aged rum
10ml Velvet Falernum
10ml Sugar syrup
25ml lime juice
dash angostura bitters
Method: add ingredients to sling glass and swizzle
Glass: Sling
Garnish: Mint sprig and orange slice
Comments: Back in the early 1800’s in Guyana. British ex-pats would enjoy a jug of this drink on the terrace of the Georgetown club. The mixture of Rum, Lime and Bitters would be mixed with a long five-pronged branch-wood swizzle stick. The idea being to swizzle it until frosting appeared on the glass.
Zombie
20ml Cuban light Rum
20ml White Jamaican Rum
20ml Aged Jamaican Rum
20ml Barbadian Rum
20ml Demerara Rum
20ml Grapefruit juice
25ml lime juice
10ml gomme syrup
dash absinthe
dash angostura bitters
15ml maraschino liqueur
15ml velvet falernum
Method: Shake and strain
Glass: Hurricane
Garnish: Orange, cherry, lime, pineapple and mint
Comments: This cocktail is one of the most lethal around, don’t skimp on the quality of the rum. Don the beachcomber, who concocted this potion, would limit his guests to two per night. Once when strong-armed by some shady characters in his bar for a third, Don agreed to a $100 bet as to whether he could drink three. Don allegedly laced his drinks with glycerine, making the drink less potent to taste and ensuring it entered his blood stream faster, thus teaching him a lesson and rendering him unconscious (certainly not something we’d recommend doing today!)

This is something I doubt I could get at a normal bar here as the limit is 4cl of liquor they can give at a time. Speakeasies however...
Is this drink available at IPBartenders?

Absolutely, love to rustle you up a Zombie! They make fantastic ones at the 2 quality tiki bars in London - Mahiki and at Trailer Happiness. I particularly love the Don the Beachcomber story of him adding glycerine to his drinks to make his hassling guests blind drunk!
Orgeat is an almond flavoured sugar syrup. We mostly use the Monin range for our syrups http://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/P-4054.aspx
But if you're super motivated you could make it yourself:

Hello all, nice to be here!
Thanks Paul for your cocktail recipes. I have long been preferring the Vics Mai Tai but have lately used the DB recipe more and more, maybe its the grapefruit and falernum..
But I really like the idea of using a roast pineapple..and will try that as soon as possible, in fact I can´t wait..(in my mind i`m drooling) so soon heading for the shop to buy a pineapple.
I make my own orgeat and here is a good link that I first got from Scottes: http://fxcuisine.com/default.asp?Display=26
its not as burdensome as it looks..but if you want to buy readymade orgeat syrup Monins is also good.
Here is a link about Gomme syrup, but you can buy that from Monin as well.

Welcome to the Vices forum, Tiare. It's great to see you here from the MOR.
How did the pineapple roasting go? I usually put some chunks into a heavy bottomed frying pan and get them going with some overproof rum, and maybe some cinnamon.

It's a different recipe the DB one, and it does have much more flavour layers. I love the simplicity of the TV original recipe - it allows the flavour of the rum to predominate. Particulalrly if you use some crazy ass rare and expensive rum in the mix ...Thanks Paul for your cocktail recipes.

Thank you Paul! When I got to the shop they only had bad pineapples..so I will wait a little..too lazy today for going to another shop in this dark and cold weather.paulipbartender wrote:Welcome to the Vices forum, Tiare. It's great to see you here from the MOR.

Instead I´m going to treat myself to a punch rose..will post the recipe soon.
I was actually going to ask how you did your pineapple baking so its nice you wrote it down. I`m waiting for some overproof rum from Germany (Coruba and Lemon Hart)
I agree that the TVs Mai Tai has the simplicity and really let the rum taste to come through. The TV Mai Tais they serve at the Tiki Room are really nice and strong. They use Havana Club7 and Appleton 12.
I think I have had too many of those at home, hence my new appetite for the DBs version right now..
If I possibly can afford it I want to visit the London Luau in june and then later the UK rumfest.

The Rumfest is more of an event than the Lu'au but do let me know if you come to either. I'm involved in both and can make sure a red carpet is laid out

Have my first Mai Tai now with the baked muddled pineapple and I choosed the DB Mai ai this time, next time I`ll try the Vics. The baked pineapple gives it a very warm tropical yummy flavor..paulipbartender wrote:

Fantastic, glad you enjoyed it - that's a twist on the recipe that one of our bartenders created. A guy called Liam Davy

A real good twist...i must say..
Paul you always come up with these recipes or taste descriptions that
make me just want to go get it right away!
The original Zombie..was never published..I wonder if they ever cracked it.. is your recipe from one of the Bums books or is it your own invention?
When I asked for a Zombie in Tiki Room they didn?t know how to make one, so I need to visit the Mahiki.
How many Tiki bars do you have in London?

Tiki is very cool in London right now. There are 2 main bars - Mahiki is the favourite haunt of the royal princes and all the moneyed set and Trailer Happiness in Notting Hill is one of the coolest bars anywhere on the planet. It also helps they're manned by some of the world's best bartenders. Read this article which was written about our Rumfest and the Tiki cocktail comp I organised;

I think The trailer Happiness seems to be the place of choice, I can really visualise me there. Those 3 times i`ve been to London before I always lived very near Portobello rd, but that was so long time ago I don´t remember the name of the street or the hotel.But i liked that area, its very relaxed.
If I go to London I want to visit both bars of course. How are the drinks in comparaison? To me it looks like that treasure chest drink of Mahiki is more of a hype than a real crafted tiki drink..(?)

The treasure chest is the real deal - it's a great drink without being notably unique. When you come you'll have to go to both bars.
Trailer is great with a really welcoming atmosphere as long as you're not there on Fri/Sat when it can get shoulder to shoulder. The best thing is, our bar is 10 minutes walk away up the road

OK! if you say its the real deal than I believe you,! i really trust your expertise here, I myself is a novice. But the treasure chest is not a one man drink, eh? and expensive i guess..paulipbartender wrote:The treasure chest is the real deal - it's a great drink without being notably unique.

£100 for the treasure chest - it's supposed to be drunk by (pieces of) 8.
London's full of bars - and full of bars manned by friends, who are absent minded when it comes to the bill

I tried the Mai Tai now with the TVs recipe and the baked pineapple..i baked the pineapple a bit longer this time and with some more overproof rum (Lemon Hart demerara) and it turned out nice..
So nice i now have had 3 large ones and i must have made them strong because I feel quite say....zombied out, maybe its the overproof....pineapples goes alcoholic very easily.
The rum pair tonight is Havana club7 and Appleton 12.
This makes me wonder how it would taste with some baked banana muddle..or not muddle, rather mixed..?

Do your posts get more multi-coloured the drunker you get??
Sounds like an awesome little drinking mission you're on. For me, I'm in with the little'un and other half tonight so I'm applying some damage to a bottle of Flor de Cana 7, but without any of the creativity you're displaying.
Have a lovely evening Helena

Mixology archeolgy, isn`t that interesting? there were a few vintage tiki drinks that contained a bit of Absinthe, Pernod, Pimento dram and various Bitters.
I saw Absinthe is in your DB Mai Tai recipe.
As for bitters i saw that Bittermens are coming up with a new bitter specially made for tiki drinks.Not yet available though, except if you live in the US you can have a sample.

I can heartily recommend the Rum Shrub.
As the the cocktail requires a lot of preparation (days), you may have a hard time finding a bar that knows how to make them.

If you mean the Creole shrub then i think there are better bars that serve it, bottled and maybe also even homemade.

Is it just me or is there a part missing from that FXCuisine Orgeat recipe?tiare wrote:Hello all, nice to be here!
Thanks Paul for your cocktail recipes. I have long been preferring the Vics Mai Tai but have lately used the DB recipe more and more, maybe its the grapefruit and falernum..
But I really like the idea of using a roast pineapple..and will try that as soon as possible, in fact I can´t wait..(in my mind i`m drooling) so soon heading for the shop to buy a pineapple.
I make my own orgeat and here is a good link that I first got from Scottes: http://fxcuisine.com/default.asp?Display=26
its not as burdensome as it looks..but if you want to buy readymade orgeat syrup Monins is also good.
Here is a link about Gomme syrup, but you can buy that from Monin as well.

Got to try this recipe for orgeat at Tales. It's the most amazing thing I've ever had.

Thanks Dood! Looks a bit too much for me though, I will have to make a smaller amount unless I throw a Mai Tai party. Hmm now theres an idea...

Well I found a bottle of rose flower water but couldn't find a similar bottle of orange flower water. Instead I found orange flower extract in oil form. I hope this will do. All I need now are the almonds and I should be good to go.

The orange flower extract in oil is not the same thing! so be VERY careful with the 0.5 drop here..or if a t all..i would use it my bath instead.
Orange flower water is a entirely different story. I can find it everywhere here, do you want me to send you a bottle?

Thanks for the heads up Tiare. No its okay, I think I will make the extract a little mellower with water.
