Announcing an exciting new product line from Trader Tiki!  Trader Tiki’s Exotic Syrups at the new Trader Tiki Trading Post! I’ve been doing the concoctioneering thing at home and behind the bar for a few years now, and people have often asked if they can have recipes, buy some from me, or even have me [...]

MxMo Ginger, the Dead Bastard

Thumbnail image for MxMo Ginger, the Dead Bastard

Yes, another Mandatory Monthly cocktail blog post. This time, made even mandatorier as it’s hosted by one of my favorite bearded behatted gents on the internets, Matt Robold of RumDood.com! Since I stole his subject earlier this year (all part of my grand scheme), he’s decided to go the spicy route and chose ginger! Ginger [...]

MxMo Spice!

The theme for this month’s Mixology Monday, hosted by my great friend (and nearby neighbor) Craig over at Tiki Drinks and Indigo Firmaments, is Spice! What a time for it too, with all the weather we’ve been having here in Sunny (snowy) Portland, there’s no better time for a bit of hot mulled something. Though, [...]

Orgeat

Trader Tiki’s Orgeat now available for sale! Orgeat, fashionably French soda sweetener, or one of the best ingredients ever set behind the bar? First, for a quick peek at how to properly pronounce the word, see this pic by Humuhumu from Martin’s recent presentation on the subject. Here is a classic recipe from 1835.  It’s [...]

A wee bit of late summer cleaning

For you regular readers, or new readers, or anyone in general, this isn’t something very exciting, but I fixed the sidebar so it no longer drops down below the comments.  Damn you min-width! I’ve also updated the Drinks Section to make it more readable, changed up the fonts, the favicon… you get the gist.  Let [...]

Falernum Bitters

I’d had this idea in my head for awhile, to develop a bitters to bring out and strengthen Tiki flavors in drinks.  Of course, lo and behold I find that BIttermens beat me to the punch with their Tiki Bitters. A few months ago, I gave a bottle of Bridgetown Bitters to the OBG to [...]

It is the future, the distant future

Just a quick note, a new feature has been added to the Galley. Leaping forward into the year 2008, I have installed a computer in the Galley! What does this mean for the bartender and bartendees? Music Playlist Management without having to synch an iPod, thanks to iTunes sharing! TV/Movie nights, now without having to [...]
