GARDEN OF FUNK

¾ oz lime juice
¾ oz passion fruit syrup
¼ oz coconut cream
½ oz absinthe
1 oz Blended Lightly Aged Rum ❷
1 oz Blended Aged Rum ❸
Float of overproof Pot Still Unaged Rum

Garnish: mint sprig, lime wheel
Method: Combine all ingredients except rum for the float in a shaker with crushed ice and shake. Open pour into glass, top with ice, float the rum, and garnish.

A lovely potion that can please everyone on the tiki spectrum: tame enough for a beginner, but still has enough in there to interest a veteran. Original by theweekendmixologist on IG.

EL VOLCANITO

1½ oz grapefruit juice
¾ oz fresh lime juice
1 oz maple syrup
¼ oz cinnamon syrup
1½ oz Black Blended Rum ❺
1½ oz Pot Still Lightly Aged Rum ❶

Garnish: spent lime shell, mint sprig
Method: Combine all ingredients except overproof rum in a mixer tin with 12oz crushed ice and flash blend for 10 seconds. Open pour into the glass and garnish with mint and spent lime shell face up.

Pour the overproof rum into the spent lime shell, and serve drink. Ignite the rum inside the lime shell once the glass is in place.

Dusting the flame with cinnamon is always a sure-fire way to impress your friends! I was pretty happy with my flame in this photo, but a darker room will produce an even more stunning effect.

MR. WEDNESDAY

1 oz lemon juice
¾ oz orgeat
½ oz banana liqueur
1¼ oz aquavit
½ oz Pot Still Lightly Aged Rum ❶
¼ oz Black Blended Rum ❺

Garnish: mint sprig, orange peel, edible orchid
Method: Combine all ingredients in a shaker with crushed ice. Shake and open pour into glass. Top with ice and garnish.

This is a crowd pleaser no matter how many tiki drinks you've tried: safe enough for newcomers, but the aquavit delivers something interesting to those who've had them all. It was created by Matthew Belanger at Death & Company.

THREE DOTS AND A DASH

½ oz lime juice
½ oz orange juice
½ oz honey syrup
¼ oz falernum
¼ oz allspice dram
1½ oz Rhum Agricole Vieux ❽
½ oz Blended Aged Rum ❸
1 dash Angostura bitters

Garnish: three maraschino cherries, pineapple chunk
Method: Add all the ingredients to a drink mixer tin. Fill with 12 oz crushed ice and 4-6 agitator cubes. Flash blend and open pour with a gated finish into a footed pilsner glass. If you don't have a drink blender (I don't) then shaking obviously does the trick.

For the garnish use one spear for three maraschino cherries and the pineapple chunk. Place horizontally on the rim of the glass. It represents V for victory in Morse code •••—

This drink is a certified tiki classic from Don the Beachcomber during WWII, later decoded by Jeff Beachbum Berry, and republished in the Smuggler's Cove book, page 43.

JUNGLE BIRD

2 oz pineapple juice
½ oz lime juice
½ oz demerara syrup
¾ oz Campari
1½ oz Black Blended Rum ❺

Garnish: pineapple frond
Method: Add all the ingredients to a drink mixer tin. Fill with 4-6 agitator cubes. Flash blend and pour with gated finish into a Collins or highball glass and add garnish.

No cocktail feed is complete without one of the titans of tiki, the Jungle Bird! Always a crowd pleaser with its bitter-but-sweet balance, and a garnish sure to turn heads as it gets placed in front of you. This spec comes from Smuggler's Cove, page 96.

Pupule -aka- Nui Nui

¾ oz lime juice
¾ oz orange juice
¼ oz cinnamon syrup
¼ oz vanilla syrup
¼ oz allspice dram
2 oz Column Still Aged Rum ❹
1 dash Angostura bitters

Garnish: mint sprig, swizzle stick
Method: Line a footed pilsner glass with the orange peel, one end hanging over the rim of the glass. Add the remaining ingredients to a drink mixer tin. Fill with 12 oz crushed ice and 4 to 6 agitator cubes. Flash blend and open pour with gated finish into the glass. Garnish.

I love this one in the fall season. Up front it looks like a summer sipper, but all those spices from the syrups and bitters really give it an autumn vibe. This spec comes from Smuggler's Cove book (page 39), which adapted the Beachbum Berry's best guess of the original from Donn Beach.

Doctor Funk by Donn Beach

½ oz lemon juice
½ oz lime juice
¼ oz grenadine
½ oz demerara syrup
¼ oz absinthe
2¼ oz Black Pot Still Rum
1 oz seltzer

Garnish: pineapple frond
Method: Combine all ingredients with ice, shake or flash blend, open pour.

This one is one of my favorite tiki drinks. This version is from the Smuggler's Cove book, page 266. In it Martin Cate emphasizes that a funky Jamaican rum is needed to stand up to the hearty dose of absinthe. Jamaicans are far and away my favorite rums so this one always hits the spot for me. Pictured in the background is Hamilton's black pot still, which is the specific rum called for in this drink. However, if you don't have it on hand you can blend two rums (a black and a pot still) to land mostly in the same place, as is praxis in tiki anyway.

Formidable Dragon by Martin Cate

¾ oz lemon juice
¾ oz lime juice
½ oz SC honey syrup
¾ oz SC molasses syrup
½ oz Amaro di Angostura

¼ oz overproof Pot Still Lightly Aged Rum ❶
1 oz seltzer

Method: combine all ingredients with crushed ice, shake or flash blend, open pour with gated finish.
Garnish: edible orchid, mint sprig, swizzle stick

Honey absolutely dominates this one’s evolution! A sticky mouthfeel with delicious lingering aftertaste that only gets stronger as you sip. Found in Smuggler's Cove book, p93.

Hinky Dinks Fizzy

2 oz sparkling wine
1½ oz pineapple juice
½ oz lime juice
½ oz passion fruit syrup
½ oz apricot liqueur
1 oz London dry gin
1 oz Blended Lightly Aged Rum ❷

Method: bubbles into the glass, shake/blend everything but gin, open pour, float the gin.
Garnish: mint sprig

A gin tiki drink made more fun by floating with butterfly pea gin. In this case it was Empress 1908. From the Smuggler's Cove book, page 97.

The Undead Gentlemen

1 dash absinthe
½ oz lime juice
½ oz grapefruit juice
½ oz SC cinnamon syrup
½ oz falernum
1 oz Black Blended Overproof Rum ❻
1½ oz Blended Aged Rum ❸
1 dash Angostura bitters

Method: rinse glass with absinthe, shake remaining ingredients, strain into chilled coupe glass.
Garnish: lime twist, grapefruit twist

Another one from the Smuggler's Cove book, Martin Cate says this is a "refined" take on a legendary tiki classic, the Zombie. Funny enough the spec is actually more like a Jet Pilot than a Zombie, but they both have a lot of overlap to begin with.

The Dead Reckoning

1 oz seltzer
1 oz lemon juice
1 oz pineapple juice
½ oz maple syrup
½ oz SC vanilla brandy*
½ oz tawny port
2 oz Blended Aged Rum ❸
1 dash Angostura bitters

Add ice/seltzer to glass, shake, strain, top with ice.
Garnish: pineapple frond, mint sprig, lemon peel

This is from Smuggler's Cove and is a great one for summer. The vanilla brandy really steps to the front as the ice melts.

* Vanilla Brandy: Split a vanilla bean lengthwise, cut into three equal pieces, and add the pieces to a bottle of brandy. Reseal the bottle, and let rest at room temperature for two weeks, before removing the beans and discarding. Add 2 ounces of demerara syrup to the brandy and mix well. Store in the original brandy bottle for a year or more.

This summer's supply of the most critical Tiki/tropical syrups has arrived.

One of these days I'm going to have the right equipment to make my own orgeat...

Photo showing two bottles of cocktail syrups One is almond orgeat syrup The other is passion fruit syrup. Both are made by Lieber and Co syrups.

And so goes the very last of my 10cane #rum into a Sweet Leilani... The end of an era for me in rums #tikibar #tikidrink
