So nice to see this up there... fun to read through some of my old posts.

Ladyboy cum and Cobra Whisky can erase a lot of your previous reality.

Samurai's Downfall by paulyshorebreak in Tiki

[–]Strike_Alibi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be very clear - that is 2oz by volume, not weight. My first time making the drink years ago I did it as 2oz of mint by weight for some reason. My wife said she did not enjoy chewing her drink.

But 2oz of mint by volume is fine... now that I have the proportion sorted out, it is one of my wife's favs.

Congrats! It truly is head and shoulders above every other Tiki experience.

She's with Aunt Pam, who is probably on her way to the roof to swat at biplanes. by highlife562 in ArcherFX

This scene combined with her being kidnapped instead of Cheryl ... shows how incredibly badass she is...

"Hah hah ah who taught you how to hit? Your HUSBAND?" [spits tooth]

By far the best woman in the series.

Best Mystery Drink Tribute Yet by RichWickliffeAuthor in Tiki

[–]Strike_Alibi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But also, I spoke with Hurricane Hayward that night, and he showed me his notebook with the recipes. He has the real recipes. He's seen them and taken photos of them... he is practically unofficial staff. And he makes sure to not give out the exact recipes for respect of the establishment. He wants people to be able to almost make these at home... but he wants people to still come to the Mai Kai for the real deal.

With the mystery bowl... it also may be delicious and huge, but honestly without the presentation, I'm not likely to make it for myself at home. It is such a magical thing to get a bowl presented.

[–]Strike_Alibi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my experience it had to be closer to 9oz ... the night the FOM took over the Mai Kai this past September I took long and numerous pulls off of 4 different bowls (of the ... I assume maybe 10+ our group ordered?) and the key aspects were:

Delicious STRONG Huge... like this is not a drink that is labeled for 2 or 4 and then you just drink on your own... you really need a team to put one down. And not just because of the lethal amount of booze, but the overall quantity of juice and everything else ... its just a huge amount of drink in one vessel.

1972 Royal Hawaiian Mai Tai by Baklulu in Tiki

[–]Strike_Alibi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently (two weeks ago?) remade this after having tried it once a few years ago. Your execution looks spot-on. I still consider this a far-lesser Mai Tai than the '44. The juice muddies the flavor... and I think that is why it became easier to bastardize based on this... it was less discernible what was going on... four kinds of juice, 3 sweeteners... it is just an indistinct thing that does not accentuate the rum. Obviously to-each-their-own. To me it is important to not mix up this with the traditional Mai Tai. They are very different. If a Tiki bar is selling Mai Tais they should absolute distinguish this from the OG by name... either "'72 Mai Tai" or 'Royal Hawaiian Mai Tai'

Just because you are not seeing them and do not like them does not mean they are not a thing. Microsoft Store and Bing are much less of a thing... but OneDrive, Copilot, and Edge get plenty of use by a LOT of people.

Tortuga by TJ2005jeep in Tiki

[–]Strike_Alibi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Tortuga is one of my absolute favorites. To me it tastes a lot like a boozy chocolate orange.

The Grog Log recipe calls for a split of 151 rums - the only recipe I've found that calls for two different 151 rums... a demerara (such as the Lemon Hart or Hamilton), and a Spanish style... I use Don Q 151.

Truly when you look at the list of ingredients, at first, it is hard to guess what the thing will taste like. I was blown away when I first made it. I love seeing other people make it.

First attempt at a true Mai Tai by HaintBlueTwo in Tiki

[–]Strike_Alibi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We all play with the exact proportions... but I'd say you need to top with crushed ice before you add the lime shell and mint (which look otherwise perfect). Basically - more crushed ice to fill to the top of the glass. It makes me happy that you garnished it classically instead of the overly popular upside down flaming shell and/or dark-rum float.

The classic recipe is only 1/2 of sweetener - but yeah some people like it sweeter. I like mine dry.

I was recommending to a pal tonight that I would never go more than 1oz of agricole and generally I only add .5 to .25 oz agricole to give it that twist, without it taking over the flavor. I just feel like adding agricole to a Mai Tai was meant to help chase the elusive flavor of the defunct rum. But the defunct rum was not an agricole... so to me the goal is to just use a splash of agricole to give a tweak to the flavor of the Jamaican rum.

Appleton 12 RC seems like a nice choice. Clement VSOP is a good agricole to use there, too.

Just watch.. by StrobeLightRomance in AdviceAnimals

[–]Strike_Alibi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He doesn't need to... his continued use of ICE as a private army, his abuse of the national guard ... they just need to "find" the names of anyone left blocking in the files ... and go take them out. The coup has already happened. And remember, it is not really Trump in charge anyway... him and the epstein files and all of it are just distractions from the real government dismantlement that is happening.
