Hukillau

One more tiki-cocktail on my blog. The recipe was found on CocktailDB. It has great polynesian name and compositions looks like my favorite Mai Tai with orange juice instead orange liqueur. And this recipe is great chance to use my favorite Demerara rums!

Zombie

This version of Zombie cocktail I was found in one book by Salvatore Calabrese. Calabrese say that this is original version of Zombie. I don`t think so, but I can say that this cocktail is very good! :)

Coronado Luau Special

This recipe from From “Beachbum Berry’s Grog Log” by Jeff Berry and Annene Kaye (1998). Coronado Luau Special is signature drink of now defunct Luau Room in San Diego`s hotel Del Coronado.

Delicious mixture of lemon, lime, orange juice and select rums tantalizes with a hint of Grand Marnier work very well on long summer evenings.
