Here`s one of those typically odd drink names again – so typical in the Tiki world..so who`s Chief Lapu Lapu? Well, he was the tribal chef of Mactan, an island in the Visayas in the Philippines and lived in the years 1491–1542. So how come he´s got a drink named after him? well…if you beat […] Dive into the world of Tiki-intoxication..here`s two drinks for castaways and beachbums.. Slowly but surely we move forward in the good old Grog Log and the next drink is the Castaway. It has unusually few ingredients for a Tiki drink thus showing that not every Tiki drink has to contain 8 or more ingredients. […] Back to the Log…it was a while ago but after a time with other things going on it`s time to open that book again and keep mixing. Next up is the Captain´s Grog – a drink originating from the Captain´s Inn, Long Beach California. from cirka 1962. Its a mix of 3 rums, grapefruit […] When a classic cocktail is made right, it’s a marvel of balance of good flavours and it’s the same with tiki drinks.

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 […] The next drink from Grog Log is also a Beachcomber concoction named Beachcomber´s Punch. At first sight the recipe looks pleasant and uncomplicated and that`s exactly how i find this tiki drink. It contains my favorite rum which is demerara and just little pernod as well to give some dimension to this concoction. Don the […] This tiki cocktail was served in a ice mold. In the old days when they didn`t have any ice machines they carved in large ice blocks and some tikidrinks were stylishly served in various ice molds and no wonder it was appreciated by the customers. 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 […] |
