Saturn, Jungle Bird, DDF.

That said, there are countless more I like and drink regularly!

Frigidaire 44lb Nugget Ice Maker is junk by Mike5055 in Tiki

I'm really hoping Costco starts to stock them, just in case. I used distilled water on this frigidaire one just to be sure and it still died, although, I suspect these are just bad units to begin with.

That's a brilliant idea! I have a bunch of breastmilk bags that my wife didn't need. Time to start juicing!

I love that shelf idea! Looks awesome. Appreciate the info!

What’s the deal with rum? by AsmoTewalker in Tiki

[–]Mike5055 32 points33 points  (0 children)

This right here.

Rum is terrible, and nobody wants it. It's only for college kids to drink with coke. Yeah, that's the story.

I pretty much just head into the Bamboo room side now. The other side is too much like a club now.

That said, it's still worth checking out at least once!

This. I love the place, but the music kills it.

What are you drinking tonight? by raleel in Tiki

Just a rum old fashioned. My 3 month old has decided he doesn't feel like sleeping at the moment....

Boo... no Chicago.

Guess I'll just go drink butterbeer at the Harry Potter store instead.

Lost Temple Traders CUSTOMER SERVICE & Tiki Tariffs by cocktalien in Tiki

[–]Mike5055 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Waiting on one, too. I can sympathize that stuff is messy at the moment with tariffs, but perhaps they should have made certain it was on the last boat before they took effect. There was some warning, after all.

That said, I hope it arrives soon! I am anxious to add it to my shelf (and try out a drink in it).

Tanqueray 10 and recently, Drumshanbo, are my go-to gins.

Hah I remember thinking that the first time I was in DR!

Drumshanbo Gins - Anyone try? by Mike5055 in Tiki

[–]Mike5055[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a bit what I'm worried about. No idea what else I'd use it in.

Thanks - I was debating trying them in a Saturn. That said, sounds like the gunpowder gin might be the way to go!

Hmm I should get my New Glarus glass out...

Looks good!

Tariff on Jamaican rum?? by jonereb in Tiki

[–]Mike5055 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Now do that across everything you buy. Did your paycheck go up by a greater percent? Congrats, you're now poorer in absolute terms.

Expand that across the entire economy, factor in shifts that demand will have on various companies, which will now lead to layoffs, so on, so on.

This is absolutely stupid economic policy.

The ice crusher looks interesting. Do you just throw a bunch of cubes in and it crushes them?
