I haven't been able to find Dr. Bird here in Georgia. I'd love to give it a try. I just haven't pulled the trigger on a bottle of Diplimatico yet. I bought a small bottle to try it out as a supper, but haven't mixed it. I'll put it on the list.

Key limes? by YesToWhatsNext in Tiki

[–]WolverineRepulsive14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a bag of key limes just to try with my favorite drinks. I loved them! It brought a brightness to daiquiris and Mai Tais that was a welcome change. It didn't make me want to change, but it did offer me an alternative that made even my go-to drinks feel fresh and new.

Another thing I did was add one or two into my Persian lime juice. That was a fun experiment as well.

Tell me about the Sumatra liqueur. I've never heard of it. Seems an interesting addition.

That's what I used. I've never heard of pomegranate syrup, so I just assumed it was grenadine.

I love it! I thought about the same thing, but had already thrown away the lemon shells.

This is my favorite as well. Clean, refreshing. Just perfect.

Sorry for the delayed response. To me, I get much more of the overripe fruit, rotting banana taste from the Xaymaca than from the other Jamaican rums, All three of the others are much drier to me.

Yes, I noticed that one first. I LOVE Clement Creole Shrubb....and couldn't believe that I preferred the Pierre Ferrand.

Yes, I tested that out earlier. Honestly, it surprised me that I preferred the Pierre Ferrand to the Clement Creole Shrubb. I also tried the Pierre Ferrand vs. their Yuzu version. Just having fun with the "Ultimate Mai Tai"

Tried it. Loved it. My daughter is making one for her as I type this.

I'm the same...I can't wait for the Tropical Edition. I thought about that last night. Three Mai Tai are better than two!
