Finally got around to making this bad boy. Had to use Torani vanilla syrup for the float, Angostura for the bitters and subbed Clement VSOP for the St James. Wow! Very tasty and definitely in the same dangerous class as the Zombies. ‘Mad props’ to you for this! Any chance of running this at Teardrop on ‘Blair night’?

Marshall – Indeed! I’ll have a recipe up as soon as I can get at least 6 people over to help me take care of the damned thing. My Volcano Bowl fits a whopping 96 oz, so it’ll be a fine time.

Marleigh – Very nice! The Grog Mix you’ve got up is higher on grapefruit than I’m used to, but sure seems tasty! I keep a squeeze bottle of allspice syrup on deck at all times for Vic style Navy Grogs, and anything that needs that “tiki” touch to it. I really like the use of Orange Flower Water.

Keith – Yup! Inspired by Rum. It’s pretty nifty if I do say so myself.

Gilrain – Licor 43 was actually something I debated using, but the Navan had a stronger direct Vanilla nose to it. It won’t be the exact same, but I think it’ll work just fine.

Dr. Bamboo – Myers and Coruba are pretty distinct animals, with Myers REALLY heavy on the molasses note, and Coruba a little richer and more complex. Myers actually might suit this well, so I’d say give it a shot, but maybe at 3/4 instead of 1oz. I’ve found it works great in drinks that require just a wee bit more sweet than Coruba provides.

Thanks to everyone for the interest!

Nifty! I’ve got some Demerara on order, and if I can find the Navan, I’ll be making this for sure.

Also, is Myer’s an acceptable substitute for the Coruba?

I look forward to trying this just as soon as my Lemon Hart order arrives, later this week. I’m not familiar with Navan, though — would Licor 43 work as a substitute?

Can there be repeat volunteers? Thanks again for letting me borrow the galley for MxMo.
