Midori makes a return today (but not all week) for the Green Eyes Cocktail. This cocktail brings more of a sour bite than we typically seem to be making (not on purpose). The taste is deliciously sour, it won’t tear your face off with sours but it will nip at your tender cheek loins. Great [...]
We know which rum was our favorite from last episode, but we don’t know which one tastes the best in a cocktail. Presumably the cocktail that tasted best when tested straight should be the winner, right? After all, the best spirits make the best ingredients for a cocktail. Of course, all of these coconut rums [...]
The Illusion cocktail has a fabulous color using some basic alcohols each having their own cool coloring. You’ll get a nice slightly sweet cocktail with hints of midori but nothing screaming “melon” in this drink. The finish is slightly hot (presumably from the alcohols) and ends with a neat coconut finish. Does anyone get any [...]
Every now and again there is a drink that comes along that is way to easy to finish. You’ll probably find yourself having seconds and thirds before your good judgment kicks in. The Old Kungaloosh is such a drink, it’s sweet and inviting and asks you to stay around and chat like a friendly neighborhood [...]
You can test this drink up against a real lava lamp, which do you think will taste better? No, seriously, this is a very nice drink for those that like the sweeter-style cocktails and want some tropical sensations to end off the day. As the usual, pineapple and coconut mix well together even if the [...]
Remember the summertime? For those not enjoying summer right now, we’ve got our memories of warmer times. To help remember those great times, we’ve got the suntan lotion. Oddly enough, this cocktail tastes really good if not too much like that of suntan lotion. It’s another novelty cocktail with flavors that will make you giggle. [...]
It’s time for a little Tropical Blizzard, this is a rum-based spirit using a Blue Curacao paired with a Coconut flavored rum. This recipe hits all the target points on presentation and taste without overcomplicating the drink all while bringing in great fruit flavors using juices.

The perfect Hawaiian drink, the Lava Flow. This drink is made up entirely of awesome. You’ve got great blended natural flavors, a thick consistency with enough rum to relax you on a hot day. We’re using Don Q rum again in this one, but you can use whatever you want. I’d suggest heading out and [...]
The Malibu Crunch is a delightful light-bodied tropical cocktail, great for Wednesdays. Okay, seriously, you can utilize this cool concoction any day of the week. We’re using Tito’s vodka, a bit of Cruzan coconut rum with some pineapple and a top off of 7UP. The color of the Malibu Crunch looks relaxing and the taste [...]
This week we’re starting the day right, with a bright green alien secretion. The proper blend of coconut rum (Cruzan), pineapple juice and Midori Melon Liqueur. This drink will satisfy the sweet tooth without bringing a huge sugar rush, it’s got sweets but it’s not overpowered by them. Although bright green, the tropical flavors are [...]
