Cucumber muddled in a Tiki cocktail. Who would have thought? Next thing you know, our good host will have conjured up an Elderflower Liqueur version...named 'Tiki Limey' perhaps? ChatGPT tells me that "Limey", although potentially offensive to the English, can be used neutrally...for me, blessed are the kin of Shakespeare, who wrote, carrying both herbal and symbolic resonance: "What says me Aesculapius? My Galen? My heart of Elder?" (Henry IV Part 2, Act 2, Scene 4. Anyway, it's a pleasant enough drink, but nothing special.

The Tiki vibe here suggests that the name of the cocktail is a reference to the world famous Hawaiian surf break the "Banzai Pipeline", usually shortened by those in the know to the "Pipeline".

Unusual, but rather moreish… I may up the sweetness next time (personal preference). There will be a next time. Curious as to its origin and popularity. I get snow-topped peak vibes from this… Nice addition to the site.
