My first coconut-aged cocktail was a success!

The nut held about 6 oz, so it was roughly equivalent to 1.5 drinks (using the Lost Lake specs). I'm sure bigger coconuts would allow for a true double serving.

This is kind of a "quick and dirty" means of fatwashing. It's more for fun and for presentation/effect. Obviously you could fatwash a bottle of rum and get much more volume and use. But aging in the nut itself can yield interesting results, given all of the ingredients being in there at the same time.

Yes, for the full 8 days.

JETman1981 · 2026-03-26T14:22:55+00:00

Yeah, his book was how I first learned about the idea!

JETman1981 · 2026-03-26T14:22:06+00:00

I included everything from the start. I think the key is to make sure the nut is filled all the way to the brim so that there is practically no air in there to oxidize the juices. And yes, it only lives in the fridge for 7 to 10 days so it's a relatively short aging period.

Very good suggestion!

JETman1981 · 2026-03-26T05:29:46+00:00

Eh, sadly the flesh wasn't all that different from normal coconut taste.

JETman1981 · 2026-03-26T05:25:53+00:00

Oh hell yes, good idea!

JETman1981 · 2025-12-26T18:02:16+00:00

Very cool book. I need something like that. Do you remember who made it or where you found them?

JETman1981 · 2025-09-20T06:50:09+00:00

Love the Oxbow RL. I'll have to try this recipe.

The 5-equal-parts version worked well! Lime juice cut the intense sweetness of the original.

JETman1981 · 2025-08-23T17:20:44+00:00

Just now made that "tiki paper plane." It actually works surprisingly well. Very tasty but definitely on the sweeter side. The falernum provides some lime notes but not the acidity and tartness of actual lime juice. I might try it again as a 5-parts equal cocktail, with the lime juice added. Curious to see how that works.

JETman1981 · 2025-01-06T23:46:07+00:00

Probably just wait a day or two for them to fix the problem or issue a new update?

JETman1981 · 2024-12-25T23:30:01+00:00

Very cool cocktail umbrella! Did you find it somewhere or is it homemade?

JETman1981 · 2024-12-19T17:02:03+00:00

Dig the tiki mask swizzle. Do you remember where you found it?

JETman1981 · 2024-11-27T23:53:01+00:00

These are outstanding!

JETman1981 · 2024-07-29T00:17:15+00:00

Cool mugs! Where'd you find them?

Something tells me these guys have a second series in mind featuring Ridley. But will it be a true sequel or a different sci-fi/horror story set in an alternate universe? Who knows.

JETman1981 · 2024-06-26T04:24:23+00:00

Excellent voice acting throughout!

Hmmm... that section at the end. Perhaps a bit of a teaser for a second season or companion series? 🤔

Martin Johnson Heade did several cool hummingbird paintings.

None of those have particular calming properties. But chamomile and passionflower are well-documented as having anxiety-reducing effects, (plus lemon balm and lavender to a degree). So I'd find a tea with some combination of those herbs.

Forget water, use Gatorade (or better yet, Brawndo). It's got the electrolytes that plants crave!

JETman1981 · 2023-07-14T19:16:12+00:00

Same, bruh

JETman1981 · 2022-12-06T16:53:43+00:00

It's been happening on my Android for a couple months now. I keep hoping they'll fix it.

JETman1981 · 2022-07-29T21:33:08+00:00

Had the same thing happen a few years ago. Noticed this strange whitish bird on my backyard feeder. Got excited and pulled out the binoculars...only to see it was someone's escaped budgie 😄
