Puka Punch

1 oz Light rum (Puerto Rican)
1 oz Gold rum (Virgin Islands)
3⁄4 oz Dark rum (Jamaican)
1⁄4 oz Falernum
1 oz Lime juice
3⁄4 oz Orange juice
3⁄4 oz Pineapple juice
3⁄4 oz Passion fruit syrup
3⁄4 oz Honey syrup
8 oz Crushed ice
3⁄4 oz Demerara Rum, Lemon Hart 151
1 Cherry (as garnish)
1 sli Pineapple (as garnish)
1 sli Orange (as garnish)
Instructions

Put everything - Except Lemon Hart 151 - in a blender. Blend at high speed for 5 seconds. Pour unstrained into a tall glass. Float Lemon Hart on top of drink. Garnish with a cocktail cherry speared to pineapple and orange slices.

Notes

My favorite incarnation contains Real McCoy 3 yr (instead of light puerto rican), Pusser's Gunpowder Proof, Coruba Dark and Lemon Hart 151 for the Rums. I also replace the passionfruit syrup with a shy 1/2 oz of Goya passionfruit pulp and up the Honey mix to a tall 1 oz. (By the way, the honey "syrup" is just a 50/50 mixture of honey dissolved in water.)

History

As served at the Tiki-Ti, Los Angeles, in 1961 - the year master mixologist Ray Buhen opened the Ti, after 3 decades in the employ of L.A.'s most famous Polynesian palaces, including Don the Beachcombers (Ray was there from the beginning in 1934), the Luau, the Seven Seas, and the China Trader. These places all vanished long ago, and Ray himself passed away in 1999, but the Ti is still thriving under the ownership of Ray's son and grandson, both named Mike.

Garibaldi

1 1⁄2 oz Campari
4 oz Orange juice

2. Blend with pebble/crushed ice for 10 seconds
3. Dirty dump into a high ball glass
4. Top with pebble/crushed ice if necessary
5. Garnish with a slice/wedge of orange

This drink was named after Giuseppe Garibaldi, a crucial figure in the unification of Italy. The key to making a great Garibladi is aeration. Using the right technique will result in a fluffy, textural drink.

Mai-Kai Swizzle

1 1⁄2 oz Orange juice
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Mango juice
1⁄2 oz Rich simple syrup 2:1 (I cut this in half as it is already fairly sweet)
1⁄4 oz Orgeat
1 bsp Falernum
1 oz Gold rum (Goslings Gold Bermuda Rum)
1 oz Jamaican rum, Hamilton Jamaican Pot Still Gold
1 sli Pineapple (as garnish)
3 Cherry (red and green, as garnish)
Instructions

Swizzle in a metal cocktail shaker with 1 cup crushed ice. (Or pulse blend with ice for for 4-6 seconds.) Pour into a stemmed cocktail glass and garnish with a speared pineapple chunk, plus red and green cherries.

Notes

Tiki - utilizing Mango juice, somewhat rare ingredient in the classics. Hayward's recipe calls for 2 oz Jamaican Gold. I use 1 oz pot stilled Jamaican Gold and 1 oz Bermuda Gold for a wider rum flavor profile and light bloom on the finish

History

Dating back to the original 1956 Mai-Kai menu, the Mai-Kai Swizzle is most likely a descendant of Don’s Swizzle by Don the Beachcomber.
