#Trader Vic

Here's a classic.

Victor “Trader Vic” Bergeron was responsible for creating some of the most iconic Tiki drinks. The Mai Tai(the most iconic of Tiki drinks),the Scorpion,and the Fogcutter. Well,I finally got around to picking up a bottle of sherry,and was able to mix this classic drink.

Originally called the Samoan Fogcutter(and still called that at Trader Vic's locations),some folks try to attribute it to Donn Beach because of his association with Edna Earle's Fog Cutter restaurant. But Vic published the recipe in his 1947 Bartender's Guide,well before the restaurant opened.

(A clipping of Edna and her restaurant.)

The name is supposed to indicate that it will clear your mind. But with this potent mix of spirits,Vic's quote is more accurate: “Fog Cutter, hell. After two of these you won’t even see the stuff,”. Due to its strength,Vic had a strict limit of two per customer;his drink menu postcard from the 1940s stated: "What a sneaker - positively only two to a person; really, I don't see why people buy them." It does have serious kick,just one gets the job done,and if you're having two you really want to be home on your couch. The recipe has several variations,usually swapping the amounts of orange and lemon juice,and sometimes the drink is blended. Here is the most common recipe:

Mix #137 Fogcutter

1.5oz light rum 1/2oz gin 1/2oz cognac 2oz orange juice 1oz lemon juice 1/2oz orgeat 1/2oz oloroso sherry

Shake everything except sherry with ice and pour into mug. Float sherry on top.

Very tart and citrus-y. And every bit as strong as its reputation. If you like sour drinks,you'll love this one. Now I know nothing of sherry,I know rum. So I just basically picked up a cheap bottle of Taylor that is supposed to be general use sherry. If I were to do this again(and my recommendation to you),I'd get oloroso sherry,which is sweeter. I'd also use tangerine juice instead of orange to dial down the tartness,but that's just my personal taste. And if you want to be completely authentic,get the proper Trader Vic mug to drink it with.

Enjoy folks. And get your beads ready for next week.

Another spot we finally got to visit on a trip to Denver was ADRIFT🗿 In contrast to Hell or High Water, ADRIFT is going for a more classic (but definitely elevated) Polynesian Pop dining experience in the vein of Trader Vic’s, and manages to do a lot with a fairly small location! The food we had was great, there was a good mix of classic tiki drinks & new school cocktails and they even served the drinks in tiki mugs, which is always a plus to me.

This spot has a two-hour visit limit & I would love to visit again, just sit at the bar & try a couple more of their cocktails! 🍹🍹🍹

There are many, many "official" TV Mai Tai recipes, and this is one of them, found randomly on the internet. Vic would tweak the Mai Tai many times over the years based on what rums were available, the venue, etc. This appears to be a particularly potent variation (a bit more rum than usual, and a bit light on the other ingredients), but I thought the letter was interesting.

Wonderful Things That May or May Not Be Wonderful!!! Crab Rangoon. Fried wontons filled with crab and cream cheese served at your local American Chinese restaurant. Savory, cheesy and downright delicious. An wonderful appetizer worth eating in any circumstance regardless if that situation involves takeout containers filled with rice. P.S. For the record, Cream Cheese Rangoon are also wonderful as long as they are advertised as such. If they’re advertised as Crab Rangoon and there is no crab in it, that’s false advertising and that’s not wonderful. P.P.S. For the other record, Crab Rangoon are not Chinese in origin. They actually originate from Trader Vic's, one of the key originators of the Tiki Bar, which just makes me like them even more.

The History of the Mai Tai Cocktail

Welcome to another edition of cocktail history, this time we’re going on the tropical side. 🏝️ 🍹 The Mai Tai cocktail is a classic Tiki drink that has become synonymous with tropical vacations, sandy beaches, and tiki bars. It’s a deliciously (not too) sweet and fruity cocktail that’s perfect for sipping on a hot summer day, but do you know the story behind its creation? Charming Mai Tai artwork…

For t$$: What would be everyone's role in a zombie apocalypse?

I picture them all being a part of a community of survivors that have made a kind of peaceful life

Kaius would be aiding in the research to find a cure

Joy is in the armory (ofc), and manufactures bullets once supply starts running low

Jericho is with the medics most of the time, helping take care of patients and supporting Marla (who has more med knowledge)

Benji is a scavenger since he's good at sneaking around and can pick locks to find better supplies

Hunter is Benjis's partner for scav missions because he's more combat adept and keeps our boi safe

Vic and Sahota would be part of a raider group who come along to stir things up and ruin lives

#sahota was part of a nomadic group of survivors that got picked off by Vic and co #vic convinced the others to let him keep him #sahota is kinda disgusted with the group's lifestyle but he's outnumbered and wants to live so #anon #t$$ zombie au #t$$ ask #finley is a travelling trader who's also looking for a cure #she's like buck wild feom ice age 3 #going out to manually harvest research aids #a more hands on scientist

Couple quickies.

Been working on a couple full posts,but they're not ready to be published yet. So here's a pair of mixings to hold you over.

Mix #135 Potted Parrot

2oz light rum 2ox orange juice 1oz lemon juice 1/2oz orange curacao 1/4oz orgeat 1/4oz rock candy syrup

Shake with ice and pour into mug.

Trader Vic created this in 1964 for the opening of his Mexican restaurant Senor Pico. Very citrus-y with a touch of sweet. I used regular simple syrup and upped it to a half ounce since rock candy syrup is super sweet(like 3:1). I also used my Siesta Keys silver rum,whose rums will be featured in an upcoming post. Quite good,and not surprising since the Trader was the master.

Mix #136 Storm the Beach

1oz Demerara rum 1/2oz Plantation OFTD 1/2oz velvet falernum 1/2oz lime juice 1/2oz grapefruit juice 1/2oz cinnamon syrup 2 dashes bitters

Shake with ice,strain into glass with fresh ice. Add lime shell with overproof rum and light.

So,no,I didn't add the flaming lime shell,I'm more interested in the drink than the presentation. This was created by Ryan Welliver,who has an interesting name for a bartender. His recipe calls for cinnamon-cumin syrup,but I just used standard cinnamon syrup. And that's all I pretty much tasted. If you really dig cinnamon,then try this,but I'll stick to drinks where I can actually taste my rum.

Until next time folks,aloha and mahalo.
