A foamy head hides a tasty (and be warned) rum laced, tangy fruity drink.

Finally got around to making this, love its heavy booze flavour up front, finished with a fruity melody and mild spice from the dram on the back end of each sip.
Definitely a slow sipper or split it for two serves, packs quite a punch!

I don't see why not. It should fill two highball glasses.

I began drinking with tiki drinks and have eaten at many Don the Beachcomber restaurants. I also live in San Diego, home of one of the last great tiki bars and restaurants in California, Bali Hai (Where Mr. Bali Hai is named after). This is very, very strong, but wonderfully balanced and very easy to drink. Not as sweet as most tiki based drink. We did not have the barrel glass, but used our vintage Aku Aku tiki god mugs. Outstanding.

Genever adds its own complexity to this version of the classic Holland House. The sugar syrup is my 'optional' addition, but for me it's essential.

While gin might lead this Negroni, port wine rounds and sets it apart from less noble Negronis.
