Another cocktail, created for the glass that it was originally served in! Here's a cocktail from Trader Vic's in the 1960s!
To make the Trader Vic's Grog:
--------------------------------------
1oz fresh lemon juice
1oz fresh pineapple juice
1oz Passion Fruit Syrup
1 dash Angostura Bitters
2oz dark Jamaican rum
Shake with ice. Garnish with mint, a cherry, and a stirrer.
If possible, serve in a vintage Ten-Pin Pilsner glass!

I’m loving the fact you are giving Trader Vic drinks some love. His stuff has been shoved aside as we rediscovered the Don the Beachcomber cocktails.

JM Garcia i appreciate that. And I love the Don the Beachcomber cocktails a lot. There's just so much to explore in the Trader Vic's Bartenders guides.

At 10:45, I appreciate that you plan your next cocktail while taking the initial sips of your first. One of my favorite things to do too!

Thank you for the shout out Spike! The recipe is anything but difficult. Its equal parts sugar, water, and passion fruit. Just cook like a normal simple syrup and strain. Done.

Tim Willey incredibly tasty!!

Will store-bought passion fruit juice work to make the syrup, or does it need to be fresh from passion fruit itself?

@@clellandm Store-bought works fine. I used the Small Hands version and it tastes great.

Great episode, Spike. You are very humorous. The drink looks pretty, too.

Other bands? Owners of other tikis bars, other musicians, influencers, historians, and artists--traditional, modern, environmental. So many people you can invite. Honestly, every video based on a recipe is brilliant. Marrying that with someone to interview? I'm so in. Love your shit Spike. Awesome.

Very nice drink. I'm going to try it again, but with passion fruit puree. Love using pineapple leaves in the garnish.

I think the word you're looking for is pineapple "frond" 😉

I’m still so taken with that glass. Not very “Tiki” looking but supremely cool just the same. Well done, as always!

TIKI TIP: I am not a fan of Pernod or absinthe. Instead of the "6 drops of Pernod and dash of Angostura", I use Don the Beachcombers secret weapon. "Herbstura" is a mix of half angostura and Herbsaint (another anise flovered nightmare). I substituted Pernod for Herbsaint. I use this everytime it's called for and it works. I was finding 6 drops of anise anything was ruining my Tiki drinks. No more! Aloha Nui!!!!

Rewatching this episode (trying to figure out what's in Trader Vic's Grog mix so I can make a Golden Grog...), I notice you're a Stone guy. That means IPAs! Hermano! A fellow hop head! 🙂 Never suspected from the beers I've seen ya drinking over the years....

I agree with the TJ’s pineapple juice cans. Only pineapple juice I’ll use. Mahalo!

@jmgarcia61 3 жыл бұрын

In some markets the TJ’s pineapple juice is in cartons in the refrigerated section. That’s the one I have settled on. Dole in refrigerated cartons is my 2nd choice.

Spike! Absolutely digging these "Glass That It Was Served In" series (and the logo)! Idea for you... print and sell beermat coaster sets of these. Feature photo of the finished cocktail and recipe on one side and the "GTIWSI" logo on the other.

Thank you Matt, this was fun to watch. I'm also a fan of many of your cool shirts, if you would want to tell us a little about the shirt you're wearing during your episode, that'd be great. Once again, thank you my dear friend.

@BreezewayCocktailHour 3 жыл бұрын

Tony Venegas thanks, Tony! I wish I knew anything about the shirts that I'm wearing other than what it says on the label and the approximate era of their creation.

Regarding the pineapple juice I've used both Dole's and Trader Joe's and what I've found is the Dole's can be wildly inconsistent can to can in terms of sweetness.

Aloha Spike! I love that you've got yourself a #tikigarden going! My mint has gone nuts and is trying to stage a coup in my garden. I want to send you a tiki gardener bumper sticker, DM me on here or my FB page and I'll send it. Here's what it looks like: kzfaq.infoUgy48YBjsgmVJmI-Q5p4AaABCQ Okule Maluna!
