  • Unique flavor combo unlike any of its ingredients. A little anemic - I added some Bittermen’s hopped grapefruit bitters to amp it up. A splash of St. Germain could kick this to greatness.
  • I used a relatively strong tasting umeshu and it kind of clobbered the brandy. I'll definitely do this again.

Shawn C commented on 2/16/2025:

It is actually more complex than that from what I can tell. Beach Bum Berry's recipes are interpretations of "classic" Tiki drinks, so not necessarily fully true to original recipes in all cases. Montego Bay is missing from his Grog Log book. Difford's lists a different cocktail with the same name from 1972 Trader Vic's Bartender's Guide. And of course, there are various other newer cocktails using the same name, but in no way the same (pineapple juice, grenadine, mango, etc.) I am considering changing the name of the posted recipe to "Montego Bay (Brandon Lockman)" and listing it as an "altered recipe" since it is his interpretation and not what has become standard.
