The Molokai Mike first showed up on Trader Vic's menus in the late 1940s or early 1950s. When the drink show up on The Outrigger menu, almost all of the drink prices are the same as they were when it opened in 1948. The only difference are some of the weak drinks, where we can see a 5 cent increase in the Banana Cow
The drink could use some reworking. Some blending with less ice or maybe just using nugget ice and forgetting the dramatic layered look. The drink is not bad, just nothing too special.

Love that you do videos on cocktails you don’t love and are honest about them and how to improve. Drink making is a process. Cheers!

My intention is usually to make only good cocktails but every now and then it just doesn't work. I say usually because sometime in the next couple weeks will be a truly terrible one and I knew that going into it.

That intro though! Love it! Dreams of a flash blender. And the Tito's and Blue Curacao in the closet. The Giffard Orgeat, lol. 😅 But can someone please help Woody out?

Great opening to the video

I have that book. The picture makes it look so good. After reading the instructions I figured doing 2 different blender batches was too troublesome. I was thinking as you were making this, oh no I might have to do it now. Thanks for taking one for the team and letting us know we can skip it. I loved the intro scene by the way and my Make and Drink glasses came today! Cheers to you and your continuing success!

The first thing I thought when you added the shaved ice was it was going to over dilute it. I hoping to be wrong on that one, for your sake! Great video as always! Cheers

What a hilarious opening! Woody, Giffard orgeat, vodka, blue curaçao (yuck!)- inventive, whimsical, thoughtful. I also caught, "Rosie's, of course"- ha! And the conclusion- well, that was "un-Derek-like". I would have expected a few recommended changes and improvements. But maybe you just can't fix an orange juice cocktail? Loving the channel, always look forward to the next video.

Thanks Derek. I've been wondering about this drink ever since I saw it on the classic menu you have showed in previous episodes.

Us grenadine must have much more artificial colour, because when I make it with European high grade grenadine, the red part looks like a light pink

@makeanddrink 11 ай бұрын

Rose’s is all artificial and no real pomegranate. In California, it’s even sold will a “Caner and Reproductive Harm” label. Good stuff.

@TheProhibitionKitchen 11 ай бұрын

Man, the blender reminiscing the good old times was fantastic. DED Related to your ideal Mai Tai and the dive into Curaçao, have you tried Hamilton Petite Shrubb?

@TheProhibitionKitchen 10 ай бұрын

Also, the Woody doll in there being an obvious call to inanimate objects possessing memory and having experiences.

@makeanddrink 10 ай бұрын

This just got deep! I have not had the Hamilton Petite Shrub on it's own. I've had the opportunity to get a bottle twice recently and keep passing. So many orange liqueurs, so little time.

@TheProhibitionKitchen 10 ай бұрын

@@makeanddrink I just picked up a bottle from our favorite bottle shop and I have to say that it is pretty good. They were out of JM Shrubb except for 50ml sample bottles so I got one of those as well to taste against. I just haven’t gotten around to actually tasting them side by side yet… maybe later today.

@firebert05 11 ай бұрын

Thanks Derek! I’ve been on the fence with getting an ice shaver. I figured it could be a good way to use the bevy of cocktail syrups I’ve made that may otherwise go bad. Do you recommend it?

@makeanddrink 11 ай бұрын

I do like the one in the video. It's about $50 on Amazon and solid construction. I'd definitely recommend it to the $20-30 plastic ones which I also tested. For cocktails, I'd still rather invest in nugget ice (video on that coming soon) but the shaved ice does work well for snow cones and using those syrups in other ways... especially if there are kids around.
