Very nice spin on the Derby Daiquiri from the fine

Very nice spin on the Derby Daiquiri from the fine folks at @hiddenharborpgh ... Okole maluna! Posted @withregram • @hiddenharborpgh Taking the #TikiTimeMachine solo back to 1959 today for a Derby Daiquiri, complete with a vintage hanging umbrella from the era. You can play along at home by swiping for our house recipe (following the original recipe, as recorded in the @official_beachbumberry Total Tiki phone app).
-
We try not to take unnecessary liberties with classic tiki recipes, but this one’s always read rather thin and “flabby” to us (like many recipes containing orange juice), so we dimensionalized the rum with a touch of Demerara, swapped the simple for richer honey syrup, amplified the orange note with a nip of curacao (J.M. Shrubb, if you care to know), and added a couple drops of vanilla for a bit of an “Orange Julius” / creamsicle kiss).
-
Try it at home and let us know what you think! For the full story on the original drink’s creation by Mariano Licidune of @the_maikai_restaurant, check out any of the Bum’s many wonderful books on Tiki.

Going through some old photos, I came across a great one of @rockdoggydog (RIP) at the @plantation.rum booth at @miamirumfestival 2016. Many folks are missing his humor and positive spirit even more right now. This calls for another #rockyyeh toast tonight. #plantationrum #rumfest #rum #stigginsfancy

Happy anniversary to @tikiunderground - great to see you’re making the best of a bad situation... Keep the faith! ........ Posted @withregram • @tikiunderground Today was going to be our epic third anniversary celebration that we’ve been planning all year with 4 musical acts and a cool Eekum Bookum mug release and new tiki cocktails featuring our sponsors Western Reserve Distillers and Pusser’s Rum. Most of all it was our chance to see our ohana all together, which is the reason we opened this joint. We want everyone to be safe and healthy but damnit we’re bummed that we can’t see you today. We will go live from our home bar at 5pm to say aloha and hope you will join us in a virtual toast. Our celebration is currently rescheduled for September 19, and we will have some surprises for you. To support both Eekum Bookum and us, we’re releasing more of our third anniversary tiki mugs in our cool online store, which will start shipping by the end of the month. We will be in touch with a safe option for pick up, or we’re happy to hold them until we re-open. MAHALO OHANA!!! tiki-underground.myshopify.com - TU #tikiunderground #tiki #tikiohio #tikibar #tikicocktails #tuthirdanniversary #eekumbookum #tikimugs #tikiartist #akronbars #akron
