Crazy Al Tiki Artist [Trader Vic's Acapulco Gold]
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
I've known Crazy Al for almost 20 years now. My band, The Hula Girls, has performed at galley shows featuring him, we've shared the stage with him, he's announced our band before on big stages, and recently he carved a giant tiki in my font yard. He is shockingly talented and I wanted him to come on the show to remind everyone that in a tiki world of increasing competition, there is still only one Crazy Al.
The Acapulco Gold is a drink that was created by Trader Vic. Al calls it a "Painkiller, south of the border."
To make the the drink in the video:
--------------------------------------
2 oz pineapple juice
1/2 oz grapefruit juice
1 oz tequila
1 oz Jamaican rum
1 oz coconut cream
--------------------------------------
Shake well with pebble ice. Pour the contents into a tall chimney glass or Crazy Al tiki mug.

These are my favorite types of episodes!!!! Learning how to make a classic Tiki cocktail and I love listening to everyone's Tiki origin stories. I love how you can see the joy Crazy Al expresses as he is telling his story. This is awesome. I'm thinking all these artists and Cocksmiths from this wave of Tiki should be honored and have their own Tiki cocktail created and named after them. They are responsible for bringing it back and making it grow. Keep them coming Spike. 👍🗿🍹🤙

What a gem of an interview/mixology episode. Great editing too!
That episode was....crazy! 😆
Should be "Hilarious Al". Just lost it several times. Love this, and the craft and art of his pieces=fantastic. I aspire to own one but if not, I really, really admire them. Thanks Spike!

Omg, those tiki mugs are absolutely amazing!!!! Not even a quarter way through the episode and I need one of these in my home bar. Now onto the rest of the show.
New subscriber here. Crazy Al is so cool. I’m so happy to have found this channel. It’s been infinitely helpful in the research development of my own home tiki oasis. Many thanks and keep up the phenomenal work. ❤️

We had a local punkabilly band that played out for a while around here called the "Baby Shakers". Just so you know.
Crazy Al is usually so quiet and shy in person. I really enjoyed his Coco Re'al technique.

That one person has so much talent is crazy! Well I guess that all makes sense then
Loved it! (As usual) Laughed SO hard. My favorite escapism🗿
I didn’t realize your are part of the hula girls..I love your albums
You could have a cocktail fight with those cactus mugs. . . . How about a drink that has saké in it? I'm telling you, Spike, with these guests, you are the Studs Terkel of tiki!

Hats are a classic Puerto Rico hat called a “pava”, let Al know and you can find them all over with “mini pava straw hat” as the search term. Great video as always!
