  • Re Chief Lapu Lapu, 1 day ago Shawn C commented:

    Although I have made different versions, the Lapu Lapu remains one of my favorite Tiki cocktails. There is a lot more going on than just orange, with the Jamaican rum funk, passion fruit and lemon. Some folks either don't like orange juice, and/or don't have access to good fresh oranges. The quality of the juice makes a difference. For retrying this to the above recipe I was using Washington naval oranges fresh off a tree in my backyard.

    Did you use fresh squeezed OJ (subtle) or from a store (which has flavor/aroma additives)? Otherwise, it's a large slug of OJ on top of a Hurricane, but the passion fruit and lemon should sing through along with some notes from the rums.

    Mostly tastes like orange juice to me.

    Made the decision to shake and serve up. Very nice! Will try next time with a stir.

    Spicy Sazerac with a gorgeous color and Mr. Yarm never disappoints with his 80s darkwave/industrial music references. A 5 star for me.
