Clown Sling by Jason Alexander

View this post on Instagram

Circus Sling by Jason Alexander @tikicommando This recipe was posted in a Facebook thread and I immediately jumped on it. Turns out that Alexander is such an advanced mixologist that he can provide a recipe without even tasting it himself. And it’s amazing! So I maybe was the first person to ever try this and it’s great. Now Alexander has to try it himself. This is using the newly reissued @bgreynolds Circus Peanut Syrup. Clown Sling 4 dashes bitters 1oz lemon 1oz clown sirop ¼oz cherry heering ¼oz allspice dram 2oz gin 2oz seltzer after mixing I used @beefeatergin and you have to use the real @cherryheering1818. This was an excellent Singapore Sling variant. Glassware by @thekontikioakland, from Oakland (a city famous for elephants) #clowntiki #rum #cocktails #tiki #tikidrinks #tikibar #gin

Circus Peanut Syrup from BG Reynolds

Circus Peanut Syrup! This @bgreynolds product started as a joke and then a kickstarter, and it has no reason to exist. Except that it is amazing! And it is back on sale. Go to the @bgreynolds website and get it while you can. The cocktail tonight is from @tikicommando Jason Alexander of @devils_reef fame. He put together some great recipes using this syrup and I tried one tonight. Oh my goodness it is so great. Just a touch of the circus Peanut flavor, so complimentary to the Planters Punch template. Barnum & Bailey Planter's Punch by Jason Alexander 3⁄4 BG Reynolds Circus Peanut syrup 1⁄4 BG Reynolds Tiki Spices (1/2 vanilla / 1/2 pimento) 1 1⁄2 dark Jamaican rum 1⁄2 Demerara 151 1 fresh lemon juice dash Angostura Bitters dash absinthe For the Dark Jamaican I used Coruba, a Blair Reynolds favorite. And @rumalways for the 151 Demerara. The second glass is for Mrs Mai Tai, first drink in a while.

Tall Mai Tai Glass from Saint Benevolence

View this post on Instagram

Incredible Zombie Glass from @saintbenevolence The new glasses from the Saint Benevolence Shopify Store arrived today and they are fantastic. The graphic design really pops out and pairs so well with the bottle’s label. These are called “Zombie” glasses but I like to refer to them as “Tall Mai Tai” glasses. 😂 The Mai Tai was made with the very amazing Rum Clairin distilled in Haiti. It is a wonderful and unique flavor, and I love it. There are additional branded items in the store, so check the link in the @saintbenevolence bio page. All proceeds go to the local brand reps in the SF Bay Area. #maitai #1944maitai #rum #rumclairin #haiti #cocktails #tiki #tikidrinks #tikiculture #quarantiki

New Website Feature: Tiki Travels – Big Island of Hawaii

The Island of Hawaii (“the Big Island”) is a great destination for Mai Tai fans, being the home of the last remaining Don the Beachcomber location, as well as the yearly Mai Tai Festival. This is not intended to provide an exhaustive review of every Mai Tai on the island, since you can get a Mai Tai in nearly any restaurant and every bar, but we do want to highlight some key destinations.
