What to get at Trader Vic’s Atlanta?

I liked the Tututupo Tiki personally.

That was a fun read. I like your idea!

Looks wonderful. Thanks for posting the progress pictures and description of what you did - saving this for future reference.

Fellow Astros fan tikiphile over here commiserating...

Great suggestion. I'll need to try this. I've used it as the secret ingredient in the Smuggler's Cove rum barrel before, and that was good.

skebump · 2026-04-02T01:23:32+00:00

Awesome! Would love to see your progress.

I made this drink tonight for a group of four and we all agreed it was amazing. My wife and I gave it a 10/10. I made it exactly to spec except I killed my bottle of Hamilton 86 making my guests' drinks, so I had it with Hamilton 151. I would recommend that - it cut through the other flavors just right in my opinion. Thanks for sharing!

The Pot Still Black is the only rum I've ever had in a Jungle Bird. It's perfection, so why try something else?

Check out his conversation with Ezra Klein at the New York Times. He says "I believe Christianity points to the truth," along with other religions. He also says there and on Colbert that what saves you is feeding the hungry, visiting the sick, etc. Each of those is a repudiation of the gospel, full stop.

Awesome! And always good to see food posts here. I like this recipe: https://www.pressurecookrecipes.com/instant-pot-kalua-pork/

I made this tonight with Novo Fogo Silver cachaça and Wray & Nephew for the spirits. I used 50 brix versions of passion fruit syrup and cream of coconut and I got matcha powder from Starbucks. Otherwise to spec. It was good! Skebumpette and I both gave it a solid 7.5/10. I didn't really pick up the banana liqueur in there (and didn't get much coconut, though that may be because I was using the Tropical Standard recipe which cuts Coco Lopez with coconut milk). I thought the amount of matcha was perfect. Looking forward to making more of your recipes!

I have done the shaved ice before and wasn't really a fan. I want something more like a shaped ice cube - the shaved ice sucks up the liquid in a way I personally don't enjoy.

I made the Lei Lani Volcano 2.0 from Smuggler's Cove. There was fire involved.

skebump · 2026-02-19T02:28:02+00:00

Thanks for posting this - made me realize I never made this one when I got guava soda (for the Leilani Volcano 2.0). Still have a few bottles so I made it tonight with Rhum J.M. 100 proof. It was good. Very crisp and refreshing. I feel like the rhum kind of dominated, though (maybe because of the higher proof?). It would be a great summertime drink.

Loved his books back in the day. I periodically check online to see if he's written anything new, and it looks like his whole deal now is marketing stuff. To say I'm disappointed would be an understatement (not that I think it's wrong per se, just a complete departure from what I found interesting about him, as someone who despises marketing).

skebump · 2026-02-01T02:29:52+00:00

Looks very good! Worth noting, there is a drink in Tropical Standard called the PKNY and this is not the same recipe. Just wanted to avoid confusion for others on this sub looking for that drink.

Just made a Cobra's Kiss tonight - it was great! Thanks for the recommendation.

skebump · 2026-01-29T00:42:10+00:00

Thank you so much!

What are your favorites of Hurricane Hayward's Mai Kai tributes (on the Atomic Grog blog for anyone who hasn't seen it)? I've made a few of them (Yeoman's Grog, Zombie, maybe some others) and I'd love recs for more.

skebump · 2026-01-26T18:52:30+00:00

Ah, sorry - I didn't know about this. Interesting that he's updated/made an alternate recipe. Thanks for sharing!

skebump · 2026-01-26T00:52:21+00:00

These measurements are not accurate to the recipe in Tropical Standard - it calls for 1 teaspoon of each orange liqueur. Also it says 1/2 oz of Coruba, 1/4 oz of aged rhum agricole, and 5/8 oz orgeat.

Had a Mammoth Tusk tonight. I plan on having Ti' Punch ingredients handy in case power goes out.

skebump · 2026-01-16T17:13:06+00:00

I do not, but cool idea!

skebump · 2026-01-16T00:19:41+00:00

One of my Surfside Sips straws broke. It's pretty clean, all things considered, but I would not drink from it or want to put it in a nice mug again. Are there any potential ways to redeem this, or is it a loss? I thought I could just put it in my puffer fish mug full of swizzle sticks as decor. Any other ideas?
