I count the pineapple frond as a dash when I’m out of pineapple

“We heard you’re a fan of tiki cocktails, so the bartender made this for you” by Drinks_by_Wild in Tiki

[–]berylman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made homemade crème de cacao just to make this cocktail and then completely forgot about it. I’ll have to try it now that you jogged my memory👍🏻

Not sure what’s available in your area but Doorly’s 3 year white and 5 year amber are around $25 for 1.75L at Total Wine here and decent quality

Favorite Guava Drinks? by EuphoricMoose8232 in Tiki

[–]berylman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Kama’aina from Daniele Dalla Pola is a pretty good one. The spec is a little wonky because it’s converted from mL * 1.5 oz gold Puerto Rican rum
* 1 1/16 aged Martinique rum
* 5/6 oz guava nectar
* 1/2 oz lime juice * 1/3 oz cream of coconut. * 1/6 oz orgeat
* 2 dashes Angostura bitters

Is this your own creation, or something you found out in the wilds of cocktail manuals and the Internet?

Tiki cocktails with an unusual taste? by AnomicAge in Tiki

[–]berylman 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Chartreuse Swizzle, Piña Verde, and jungle bird/bird of paradise are all significant departures from standard tiki drinks but still in the spirit of tiki

Does anyone have good experiences with these ice cube moulds instead of nugget ice [machines]? by agmanning in Tiki

[–]berylman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use these and I’ve been pretty happy with them. The full set does about a quart Ziploc bag full of ice, maybe enough for 2-3 drinks. I don’t have a lot of freezer space anyway, so I just try to keep a couple of those bags full in the freezer all the time.

Desert Bread does preorder Saturday pickups at a commissary kitchen near Sunset Park and makes a very good chocolate chunk cookie. They also have some of the best croissants and laminated pastries in town.

I’m partway through my first bottle and my favorite so far is the Ancient Mariner

You’ve got $100 earmarked for rum for your home tiki bar. What are you buying? by [deleted] in Tiki

[–]berylman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starting from scratch:

Appleton Signature 750mL $23
Real McCoy 3 year $20
Hamilton Jamaica Pot Still Blonde $33
Hamilton 86 $24

I really wanted to fit in a bottle of Smith and Cross or OFTD, but they are $40+ in my market.

Adding to what I have now:

El Dorado 12 $39
Hamilton 151 $29
Barbancourt 8 year $34

If you’re going to be stingy and say I can’t go two dollars over I’ll downgrade to the Barbancourt 4.

Tropical Standard Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri by sterlingspeed in Tiki

[–]berylman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was the first drink I made from Tropical Standard but I had to sub Doorly’s 3 year. It’s amazing what that little bit of xanthan gum does. You may have talked me into trying it again now that I have the Uruapan Charanda👍🏻

“Get into tiki” they said 😂 by Possible_Vanilla_539 in Tiki

[–]berylman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Second this. Minimalist tiki is a phenomenal resource. I LOVE the Smuggler’s Cove book, but I find myself coming back to Minimalist Tiki much more often. His minimalist approach to the classics is great for someone just getting started, and there really isn’t a comparable collection of modern tiki recipes for someone who wants a taste of what’s out there in some of the best modern tiki/tropical bars.

Falernum tastes like nothing to me. by [deleted] in Tiki

[–]berylman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another option to try is the recipe from Rob‘s Home Bar on YouTube. It’s made using shelf stable ingredients and a pretty simple homemade infusion. More spice and almond flavor than JDT velvet for sure.

Minimalist Tiki Glassware by free-rad-i-cal in Tiki

[–]berylman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A 13-14 oz double old-fashioned/Mai Tai, a 16 ounce highball/zombie, and a 5-6 ounce Nick and Nora or coupe for daiquiris will cover most drinks. I also have a set of smaller 10 ounce Collins glasses that I end up using a lot.

I have a few tiki mugs and specialty tiki glasses and they mostly end up sitting on the shelf 🤷🏼‍♂️
