Tiki Max
This drink breaks the golden rule - simple is beautiful. However, it's tasty and packs a punch

Magnificent. Made with Goslings (which is technically a navy rum I looked it up). Worth every penny second of effort. I just wish we had those tiki mugs.

I did adapt for the rums, and it kind of embodies Tiki/Modern Tropical Cocktails, so the name is appropriate. A lot going on, rich, quite balanced, a bit dark in flavour. I do have to say I am very slightly disappointed that I didn't get as much in terms of complexity and distinction of flavours. They kind of meld together. So good, really nice, but not great.

Long to prepare, but definitely worth it... I found it excellent.

I'm curious where the pictured tiki mug came from (if you remember).

It’s Tangaroa by Little Grass Shack. I bought it a while ago, beautiful mug!

Sorry, no. I acquired it and others some 20 years ago.

Well that was pretty amazing, probably in my top 5. I did do 20 ML apricot and 10 Grand M, but i would say a minor deviation. Cheers ! I used a unaged Agricole blank and a Jamaican navy strength

I have tried a lot of tiki style cocktails but keep coming back to this one. It’s become a bit of a tradition in our house to have one on a Friday night after the work is done. Gets the weekend off on the right foot. Thanks Simon.

I have Pusser‘s but for the Woods Rum I’ll throw in an over proof one.

Hi Nathalie. I use Pusser's. If Woods is showing for you as the Navy rum, this is only because you have added Woods to Your Ingredients.

Being a big Tiki fan, I may just try your creation tonight, in our home party bar

Being big rum drinkers and having tiki recipes back to the 1960s and 1970s of tiki drinks, this was great. It is slightly sweet as a tiki drink should be, but still able to taste the rum. Thank you Simon for a wonderful cocktail. We used our vintage 1960s tiki mugs for this one.

Love this cocktail. My go to favourite

Highly recommend. Angostura, orgeat and pineapple make a dense flavor profile. I did not have fresh pressed pineapple juice, but it was quite delicious with canned (other juices fresh).

A perfectly balanced Tiki drink! This is my go to when my friends ask for something fruity and rum filled.
