A Mountain Of Crushed Ice

When a classic cocktail is made right, it’s a marvel of balance of good flavours and it’s the same with tiki drinks. Everybody who has held a tall tiki mug or glass with a well crafted drink in it knows what I mean.
If there’s one thing I would want to repeat over and again whether [...]

More blue drinks?
I thought it was enough with the two i made last time but Grog Log is calling for yet another one so i have to obey;-)
The Blue Reef is the second drink on the same page as Blue Hawaii in the Log. Its the Bum`s take on the Blue Hawaii where fresh [...]

Its time to take a trip to Hawaii folks - with the 7th cocktail from Grog Log - The Blue Hawaii.
Its some romantic nostalgia here - in my mind i can hear the music from that Elvis movie and remember the incredible beautiful pirogue wedding scene pictured at Coco Palms Resort and even though the [...]

Tiki time again! and here we are, tiki cocktail number six - which is the Blackbeard`s Ghost.
It`s a Beachbum Berry original - a version of the Pirate`s Grog from Blackbeard`s Galley restaurant from cirka 1970`s which according to the description was a “feisty theme restaurant with decor to match its name.” There isn`t much more [...]

Imagine sitting in a dark tikibar..and being served an exotic [...]

We all know that Tikidrinks has exotic and/or weird names and the third drink in Grog Log certainly has exactly that: Aurora Bora Borealis…what does that mean? it sounds like the name of some sort of exotic sea creature…or the scientific name of some parasitic plant species living in the cloud forest or maybe some [...]

This time A Mountain of Crushed Ice is on a space trip with the second tiki cocktail from the Grog Log and its dark twist.
Here´s one yummy species of a tiki cocktail, its called Astro Aku Aku and is preferably served in a Moai Mug. (Easter Island Mug) unfortunately i don´t have any..so i`ll serve [...]

I`ve been thinking about it for a very long time now - to mix every single drink in the Grog Log and blog about them.
This is going to be similar to what my fellow blogger Erik Ellestad over at Underhill Lounge is doing with his enourmous “Stomping through the Savoy project” which means he is [...]
