Flashback to the dark days of COVID, September 202

Flashback to the dark days of COVID, September 2020, mixing up a Jet Pilot tribute for the guests of @tikitrail Live. I plan to revisit all The Mai-Kai cocktail reviews and recipes for the blog after they reopen in 2024. Okole maluna!

Mahalo Joe and Myssi (aka @the_rum_traveler) for making and sharing The Black Magic Cocktail. Glad you enjoyed it! The second deadly drink in the frightening flight is coming soon to AtomicGrog.com ...

REPOST from @the_rum_traveler
- We tried out the new Black Magic Cocktail recipe from @theatomicgrog and it’s fabulous! This is a twist on their tribute recipe for the Mai Kai’s Black Magic, which is a super-sized coffee-based rum cocktail served with lots of ice in a 24 oz snifter glass. This version is smaller with the ice strained out, and we just might prefer it this way. We used Coruba for the dark Jamaican rum, Don Q 7 for the gold Spanish-style rum, and Lemon Hart 1804 for the dark rum.

You can find the recipe on their website here: http://www.slammie.com/atomicgrog/blog/2023/10/18/new-recipes-a-frightening-flight-of-deadly-cocktails-for-halloween-2023/
