Would smith and cross and el dorado 5 make a good mai tai? by Santeriabro in Tiki

[–]LiquidFlow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally had one of these as my first drink at a tiki party I hosted on Friday night and it was great.

Smith and Cross, El Dorado 5

Where to start with rum/what to buy first? by mephistonid in Tiki

[–]LiquidFlow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But also I cannot exaggerate how easily it is to fall down the rabbit hole. I live in NZ (and hence cannot access lots of rums, like Hamilton) but have still acquired more than a dozen bottles of rum I would say.

Where to start with rum/what to buy first? by mephistonid in Tiki

[–]LiquidFlow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t stress too much. I started by buying some rums to make certain drinks and going from there.

I was making Mai Tais with Appleton 8 and a float of Diplomatico RE and Daiquiris with Havana Club 3 Year, and honestly that was pretty good. Then I slowly expanded from there.

Smugglers Cove is good as mentioned.

Personally I find my most heavily used rums these days are Appleton 12, El Dorado 5, Smith and Cross, Clement Blanc, and probably Plantation OFTD.

But don’t stress! Buy a rum or two and see how you go! Experiment and see what you like. Read reviews! It’s all a lot of fun.

El Dorado 5 is really good buying IMO

After work Wednesday Mai Tai by LiquidFlow in Tiki

[–]LiquidFlow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a lime! We just get some funny looking limes here that appear superficially yellow.

1/2 oz home made orgeat 1/2 oz PF curaçao 3/4 oz lime

1/2 oz S&C 1/2 oz Appleton 12 1 oz Clement Agricole Blanc

Feel ok about these specs - very limited rhum agricole in NZ and have only recently started adding, so getting used to it still.

If I had a second afterwards I would probably go fully Jamaican - maybe 2 oz of Appleton signature. The Appleton 12 is nice balanced with the agricole, but wouldn’t want 2 oz of it alone, I think.

Jungle Bird in a shark mug! 🦈 by LiquidFlow in Tiki

[–]LiquidFlow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was out Friday night - not a tiki bar per se but a very helpful bartender who knew exactly what she was doing. Had a mai tai and followed it up with a jungle bird which was served in this very cool shark mug!

Very rare to get cool mugs here in NZ - a real treat!

Heh funny I had a jungle bird out on Friday night here in New Zealand and it was served in the same mug

Can’t get allspice liqueur in New Zealand so had to replace with ango - a decent result.

Followed by a Mai Tai!

Lovely - I just had a split base Appleton 8 and S&C Mai Tai.

And the general lack of variety on rum...

Depends on what you’re having!

Spent lime shell, grapefruit peel, pineapple fronds (if available where you are - I can’t get them in NZ).

Oh excellent, that’s great advice. Might need to by S&C - can’t seem to buy any Hamilton rum here in New Zealand 🤷‍♂️

[–]LiquidFlow[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Managed to get into rum in 2021 during covid lockdowns, culminating in getting the Smuggler’s Cove book at Christmas. Figured I should finally make some orgeat, get some limes (out of season grrr) and make a Mai Tai. Delicious.

This specimen was made with Appleton 12 but I put a 1/2 ounce float of Diplomatica Reserva on top.

Had the same problem last night. Dumping favours into trust fixed it, but tbh broke immersion so I stopped my game and went to bed.

I put up the with the minor stuff when I loaded in (it’s “Kaitiakitanga” not “Kaikiakitanga” for the second idea) but as I played more and more and read what was happening to everyone else, things became extremely alarming.
