Where once there was one week of Tiki drinks, there are now two! I like to think of it as some kind of wonderful magic trick, but instead of pulling a rabbit out of a hat I’m pouring delicious cocktails out of the shaker. We’ve had a good time with Tiki drinks this week and have barely scratched the surface. So in that light we’re carrying on for another week. To celebrate this wonderful occasion we’ve adorned the site, albeit lightly, with a Tiki essential, bamboo.
Well, fellow cocktail hackers, I must take my leave of you for now. I go in search of passion fruit syrup, puree, or juice so I can try my hand at making a Hurricane.

How does commercial Orgeat stack up to the home made? I ask as someone who has a new baby at home and while I love the idea of properly creating materials… If I’m short of time is it worth it to use a store-bought version?
Cheers!
Beasley,
From what I’ve heard the Fee Brother’s Orgeat is quite good. I’ve seen it at a number of liquor stores around here, so it shouldn’t be too hard to find. The general web consensus is that the coffee flavoring types of Orgeat (eg Monin) are not so tasty in cocktails.
Let me know if you give one a try, I’d like to hear how it tastes.
