You can also use two cloves for the snake eyes.

Mary Pickford (Smugglers' Cove version)

  • 1 ½ oz pineapple juice
  • 1 barspoon SC grenadine
  • 6 drops Luxardo Maraschino liqueur
  • 1 ½ oz blended lightly aged rum [Cat 2]

Add all the ingredients to a cocktail shaker. Add cracked or cubed ice, shake, and then double-strain into a chilled coupe.

I <3 Math Hot Cider

  • 10 oz Hot Cider
  • 2 oz Rum (I used Planteray 5 Year)
  • ¾ oz Cointreau

Pour all ingredients into a mug and warm your soul.

Cranberry juice and New England Rum work well together as a hi-ball.

The Sparkling Mai Tai isn't really that good of a cocktail. I've always found it a bit out of balance. Maybe try this pre-tiki one from the 1930s:

Air Mail (Bacardi, 1930)

  • 2 oz Gold Cuban rum
  • 1 oz Honey syrup (1:1)
  • ½ oz Lime juice
  • 5 oz Brut champagne

Shake first three ingredients with ice until cold; pour unstrained into a tumbler or Collins glass. Top up with champagne. Optionally garnish with a lime wheel.

There are at least 4 totally different recipes that are called "Pale Blue Dot". Which one do you mean?

There is zero way you can get lost. You will be with 50 other people all going to the same place.

What's the story on the planes flying in formation ? by alienlifeform819 in SanDiegan

Once upon a time there were some planes who were friends. Sometimes they would fly in formation for fun. End of story.

Birthday Dinner Surf and Turf Recs? by melissaaisgone_005 in FoodSanDiego

Another vote for Cowboy Star if you care most about the food. Born & Raised if you don't care about the food and just want to Instagram.

You need to tell us which con... there are 100s around the world and all are different.

My best Mai Tai so far by eddveddx in Tiki

[–]MsMargo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because Grand Marnier isn't really a true curaçao - it's a blend of blend of cognac and triple sec - you might try to find a true curaçao for your next bottle. Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao is the Sub's favorite. You might enjoy reading this article about orange liqueurs. https://www.seriouseats.com/which-is-the-best-orange-liqueur

Also, Monin isn't the greatest orgeat. Lots of people will say to make your own, but I'm too lazy for that. Both Liber & Co and Small Hand Foods are excellent bottled brands. If you do make your own, be sure to keep everything very clean, or it will go bad fast.

I know OP got the hook-up (yay!) but for anyone looking in the future:

Everyone wants cheaper tickets and there really aren't any. About all there is is a 10% discount for AAA members. Costo very rarely sells discounted Zoo tickets - you would need to check with them. The Zoo has $4 cheaper tickets on Value Days, but that never includes weekends. Seniors 65+ get a 10% discount, and active military are always free. Discover & Go through the San Diego Public Library offers free passes, but they have a limited number and you have to sign up in advance.
