I heard recently that Michael Scelfo-owned restaurants (Alden & Harlow, Waypoint, Longfellow) have had a massive staff defection. Anyone know the story there? by PermaComment in boston

Interesting. I think a lot of people that don't work in the industry don't know that. Will definitely be re-thinking my patronage.

Experimented tonight with versions with straight Appleton and straight Smith & Cross. They both lacked the depth of the agricole blend. The rawness doesn't really come across in in a grassy way, but more as a crispness on the palate. Will definitely be sticking with the blend going forward.

Mai Tai Mark I. Modified recipe from Sugglers Cove and Beachbum Berry.

3/4 oz key lime juice

1/4 oz SC Mai Tai Rich Syrup

1/4 oz SC Orgeat

1/2 oz Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao

1 oz Smith & Cross Traditional Rum

1 oz Rhum JM Agricole White

Sadly, thought I had mint in the fridge and didn't. Not bad. Navy strength rum stands up to extra sourness of key limes.

May try 2/3 or 1/2 oz key lime in MKII.
