I thought it was an interesting variation of a great drink.

1 large handful fresh blueberries

Muddle in the bottom of the shaker

Add ice to the shaker

1 oz fresh squeezed lime juice

1/4 oz 2:1 simple (demarara or turbinado preferred)

1/4 oz Orgeat

Just under 1/2 oz Cointreau

2 oz blended aged rum (tonight's rum was Plantation 5 year)

Double strain into a glass over ice

Long Mondays are easily remedied by a Mai Tai or two! My absolute favorite exotic drink. I need to get better glassware.

2 oz Mount Gay Eclipse

1 oz fresh squeezed lime juice

1/2 oz Cointreau

1/4 oz 2:1 Simple

1/4 oz Orgeat

I am enamored with the idea of hosting a tiki party for my friends. Have you ever hosted one? What was it like? Any tips?

What got you started with Tiki? My start was How To Drink and Greg's recommendation of Smugglers Cove. Read the book, started buying rum and planning a home bar lol. I had been getting into making cocktails but never thought about exotic cocktails before watching Gregs Mai Tai episode.

Just read Smugglers Cove. Made with Mount Gay Eclipse.
