Holy crap - the "original" Painkiller is an evil, EVIL drink. So delicious... if you don't like coconut or pineapple, you're probably not gonna like it.

That's a tasty one for sure! An ideal early poolside beverage IMO. However, for something that REALLY sneaks up on you, see: Post #26. As in you better be staying in for the night with that one. If you follow my lead and quadruple the recipe as I am apt to do, then you'll be out the next morning too, and likely still woozy when you wake up. I normally don't like doing that, but geez they just go down so smooth and easy, I basically have to sip on one for the whole evening and call it good. And I normally have a scary high tolerance. Where I go wrong is when I do my quad serving... twice (or thrice). It'll hit you at like 2 AM and you're like...

Fortunately for me, any whisky drink is a non-starter.

But rum... fuckin' demon rum...

Rum (especially good ones) definitely go down waaaaaay too easy, so definitely gotta watch it. HOWEVER, what at least keeps me in check with the Tiki drinks category is I can only handle so much pineapple and fruit juices so 1 or 2 and I'm good. That's when I switch to just taking it neat, or rocks if it's a sweltering Summer's day. Or those coconut water ice cubes I've mentioned before. Gotta keep up those electrolytes!

May not float, but in this picture it looks like a goldfish, so I would definitely drink that. If I could drink alcohol.

I have been seeing lots of cocktails with Benedictine in them lately so I picked up a bottle and tried this one tonight. So tasty.

Might be way too much work for a at home drink but since we are on the rum topic. Recently scored a centrifuge so one of the first things I did was make a banana justino with plantation dark. Turned out really nice.

1.5oz Banana Justino
.5oz Charanda
.5oz lime
.5oz acid adjusted pineapple
.5oz passion fruit puree
.short .5oz simple syrup
bar spoon of yellow chartreuse
Then instead of shaking the drink to add dilution i used 1oz of coconut water for the dilution.

Batched the cocktail and threw it in the freezer. Shook the drink and poured into a chilled coupe. It was very good....

I was thinking how could i make this drink even more of a PITA.... So I threw the whole cocktail on a coconut milk wash. Served the whole cocktail on a large cube with a lime twist.. So damn good. Not overly sweet either. Batched for the bar would be the only way to go on this.

Not tepache related, but I recreated an old fashioned that I enjoyed last year: port-finished bourbon, oleo, and Turkish tobacco bitters. Pretty tasty. It’s the only use I have for a port-finished bourbon, so I leave it in the fridge.

Oleo is fucking amazing. You gotta work for it, though.

I don't know the proportions but a place in Tucson makes a Tepache Mule - vodka, tepache, ginger beer, lime juice - obviously a Moscow mule plus tepache, which if I recall is pretty good.

My wife made it and she doesn’t do anything by measuring, but I know it had some piloncillo, cinnamon and ginger in it. I’ll see if she can approximate amounts.
