‘Tis the season…

Hauʻoli Kalikimaka e oʻu mau hoa! It’s once again the Xmas season and your Uncle Giltron knows you’ve been naughty,so here are some Xmas Tiki drinks for you to enjoy. These three come from master mixologist Brian Maxwell,whose wonderful concoctions I’ve blogged about numerous times in the past. The man can seriously mix. So without delay,here are the mixings. Enjoy!

Mix #249 Dance of the Sugar Plum Duppy

1.5 oz aged Barbados rum*
1/2oz dark overproof Jamaican rum*
1.5oz pineapple juice
3/4oz lime juice
3/4oz fassionola
1/2oz ginger syrup

Shake with ice and pour into Collins glass.

*I used Plantation Barbados 5 Year Old and OFTD.

A sweet drink with plenty of ginger burn on the end. Has a bit of kick,but not too strong. A good drink for folks who like sweet Tiki drinks.

Mix #250 The Night Santa Went Crazy

1oz 151 Demerara rum
1/2oz Smith & Cross rum
3/4oz lime juice
1/2oz cinnamon syrup
1/4oz ginger syrup
1/4oz allspice dram
2 dashes Angostura bitters
1 dash absinthe

Shake with ice and pour into Collins glass or snifter. Garnish with powdered sugar and mint.

Wooo! Santa would’ve been acting crazy after a couple of these. This is a flavor explosion of spice and ginger burn with some real kick. If you wanna have a grownup holiday party,serve these. I will be adding this to my roster.

Mix #251 Elves of the Caribbean

1oz blended Scotch whisky
3/4oz rhum agricole vieux
1oz white vermouth(sweet)
3/4oz lemon juice
1/2oz orgeat
1/4oz ginger syrup
1/4oz allspice dram

Shake with ice and pour into Zombie glass. Top with powdered sugar and grated cinnamon.

Aww we want the funk! Serious funk here with the agricole and Scotch coming through,a bit of spice,and more ginger burn on the end. If you like funky drinks,this is your glass of Xmas cheer.

I hope this trio of deliciousness will help make you merry. Now you may have noticed,that all three of these drinks contain ginger. That’s because your Uncle Giltron loves him some ginger. I mean,who wouldn’t want to find a ginger in his stocking(or in stockings).
