With that much passion fruit syrup, I knew this would be a very sweet drink. It wasn’t quite as diabetes inducing as I thought, though, and I think the club soda is the reason for that.
Here’s another sweet, easy drinker. This called for Demerara rum, which I don’t have, so I substituted the gold Angostura rum instead.
I also had the good fortune to visit Adrift last night,a tiki bar in Denver. I had an excellent Scorpion Bowl and a fine Mai Tai. I have now decided that I need one of those tiki punch bowls at home.
Here’s another doozy of a tiki drink. Four whole ounces of booze, and so easy to drink! Falernum is a syrup that I’ve heard of before but never used myself, and I’m pretty much in love.
I showed a colleague of mine the blog because I knew he was also a cocktail fan. The next day he lent me his tiki book. I spent most of Friday making as many cocktails as I could based on what I had in the house, just to practice a bit. The book is absolutely fantastic! I am definitely picking up a copy of my own at some point.
I got some Passion Fruit syrup when I made a liquor store run today since I noticed that so many recipes used it. The recipe calls for “gold Jamaican rum” and “light Puerto Rican rum”, so I used what I found to be close enough. (The book actually has a really good section on types of rums that I will use when I make up my next shopping list). This was pretty sweet, and easy to drink. I might try a more boozy variation at some point.
