Post by Rooster »

It's a new year full of new beer.

Welcome to the new Drunkards; I'm glad to see most of the old ones still around.

Cheers, Rooster. The morning Irish coffee is tipped in your direction.

Now that the holidays are over, it's time to crawl out of the ruins and claim the brave, new wastelands in the name of booze. 2018 is the Year of the Drunk.

New Year's Eve Going Tiki at My Place This Year

Post by Patchez »

I just picked up 7 bottles of rum to make some of those tiki drinks from the Liquid Vacation book from Frankie's. Gotta round a few more up and I may have the ability to make 5 or 10 of these recipe's.

Bring your Hawaiian shirts!

If I'm lucky. Mr Willies will be back north by then so he won't be putting a huge dent in the rum.

Next step making some Falernum.

Falernum #9

2 tablespoons blanched, slivered almonds
40 whole cloves, crushed
3/4 cup (6 ounces) white rum
Finely grated zest of 9 medium limes, with no traces of white pith
1 (3-inch piece) fresh ginger, peeled and julienned
1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons superfine sugar
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon warm water
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, strained
1/4 teaspoon almond extract


1. Toast the almonds and cloves in a small, dry frying pan over medium heat until the almonds are golden and the cloves are aromatic, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat to cool slightly, about 3 minutes.
2. Place cloves, almonds, rum, lime zest, and ginger in a 2-cup nonreactive container with a tightfitting lid. Cover, shake to combine, and let mixture sit for 24 hours at room temperature.
3. Combine sugar and water in a 1-quart container with a tightfitting lid. Cover and shake until all the sugar has dissolved and the mixture looks clear, about 5 minutes. (By not heating the sugar-water mixture, the simple syrup will be less dense and crisper than a cooked syrup.) You should have 1 3/4 cups; set aside.
4. After 24 hours, strain the rum mixture through a moistened cheesecloth or several layers of paper towels set in a fine mesh strainer over a small bowl. Taking care not to rip the cloth or paper towels, press the solids against the strainer to extract all the liquid. Discard the solids.
5. Add the strained liquid, lime juice, and almond extract to the reserved simple syrup. Shake until combined. Keep refrigerated for up to 1 month.

Falernum or Orgeat; that is the question.

I'd like to be there in my own coconut bra and grass skirt/codpiece, but I am hosting my own New Years party, the theme being along the lines of a pre-Columbian invasion of the living room with strippers dancing their dirty offerings in a kiddie pool full of mixed liquor.

Maybe we can arrange a trans-skype portal between the tiki dimensions?

That may work. Most of the recipe's I've managed to get rums for have falernum components. Orgeat is in some others but they advise against using off brand stuff as it changes the drink to a major degree.

Or they have stocks in the name brand stuff they are pushing.

Don't be afraid to explore questionable products. Just be sure to spot test them first so you don't unleash a monster upon your guests.

Both are solidly almond and sugar based. Falernum has the addition of cloves while Orgeat relies more upon the delicate contributions of the orange blossom.

Fuck it, Patchez. Make your own. Of both.
