The last to date was a Vikre Cedar dirty Martini with the ol’ Noilly Prat dry. It was highly consumable, and in a good way reminded me of the aromatic antiquity of a cedar lined chest or steamer trunk.
I’ve also been chasing the Zombie again at the bar where their spirits selection is much better than mine. It comes down to Jamaican and Nicaraguan rum with apricot liqueur, grapefruit juice, clove bitters and a squeeze of fresh lime. Chasing the perfect Zombie is what consumed both Trader Vic and Don the Beachcomber. So too do I follow.
What are you drinking right now?

Re: What are you drinking right now
have you tried Jeff Beachbum Berry's well researched replicas of the originals? I've made up his recipes but never with the correct rums...I mean I think some of the actual rum's are now extinct and he has recommended replacements...I know that's the case in his Trader Vic's Mai Tai recipeBadfellow wrote: ↑Thu Sep 30, 2021 6:11 pmThe last to date was a Vikre Cedar dirty Martini with the ol’ Noilly Prat dry.

You can really fall down the rabbit hole with that old tiki shit...a glorious rabbit hole though if there ever was one.

Re: What are you drinking right now?
As to what I'm drinking it's a big ol bottle of ice cold Augustiner Helles...might be my fave pound for pound lager in the world.
And I know you didn't ask but I'm about to crack open a packet of black truffle and sea salt hand cooked crisps. I'm excited.

After almost two weeks of not finding Genny black I bought out what few cans appeared in the cooler today. Panic shopping at it's finest. Cheers to the tall can swillers.

Re: What are you drinking right now?
I had some weird whisky from a Munich distillery last night. It smelled mellow chocolatey but burned like jetfuel.

Mamos pilsner. Sometimes, I like doing my part in supporting local breweries.
