More mug fun.

Mix number three hundred was from Kelly Merrell of Trader Sam’s. Well,I didn’t have the mug that drink came from,but I do have several other Tikiland Trading mugs,and they’ve also got drink card recipes from Kelly. So I decided to give a few more of his mixes a try. Enjoy!

Mix #302 Bilge & Stave

1oz Clement VSOP agricole rhum
1oz El Dorado 8yr Demerara rum*
3/4oz lime juice
3/4oz grapefruit juice
3/4oz passionfruit syrup
1/4oz simple syrup
3 drops orange flower water
soda water

Shake everything except soda and pour into mug. Top with 1-2oz soda water(to taste).

*I used Lemon Hart

From my Sunken Rum Barrel drink card,this was tart and citrus-y with funk on the end. Not really my thing,but if you like tart give it a try.

Mix #303 Sea Gazing

1oz aged rum*
3/4oz 151 Demerara rum*
1oz pineapple juice
3/4oz Keel Mix**
1/2oz simple syrup
1tsp allspice dram
2 dashes Angostura bitters

Shake or blend with ice and pour into mug(I shook it).

*I used Appleton Estate 12yr and Lemon Hart.

**Keel Mix = 3 parts lime juice/1 part ginger syrup

From my Dive!Dive!Dive! drink card comes a flavorful drink with spice and a ginger burn on the end. The 151 gives it plenty of kick. This would also do well as a Christmas drink.

Mix #304 Road to Salamaua

2oz agricole rhum*
1tsp Green Chartreuse
1/4oz lemon juice
1/2oz cinnamon syrup
1/2oz honey syrup
1/4oz simple syrup
1/8tsp(10 drops) absinthe
2 dashes Angostura bitters

Shake or blend with ice and pour into mug(I shook it).

*I used Clement VSOP.

From my Lost Lagoon drink card,a very complex drink of honey,cinnamon(sweet,no burn),and herbal flavors and some funk on the end. Very nice.

Mix #305 On The Reef

1.5oz London dry gin*
1/2oz agricole rhum*
3/4oz lime juice
3/4oz pineapple juice
3/4oz orange juice
3/4oz passionfruit syrup
1/2oz orgeat
1/4oz honey syrup
1/8tsp absinthe

Blend with 10oz ice and pour into mug.

*I used Citadelle and Clement VSOP.

Two of my friends have the Lost’s Petrified Puffer mug this drink comes from. It’s very sweet,almost tourist-y,with funk on the end.
