I’m loving the fact you are giving Trader Vic drinks some love. His stuff has been shoved aside as we rediscovered the Don the Beachcomber cocktails.

JM Garcia i appreciate that. And I love the Don the Beachcomber cocktails a lot. There's just so much to explore in the Trader Vic's Bartenders guides.

At 10:45, I appreciate that you plan your next cocktail while taking the initial sips of your first. One of my favorite things to do too!

Thank you, sir.

Awesome show in great cocktail just made me one okay maybe the second one LOL looking forward to next Friday aloha

Thank you for the shout out Spike! The recipe is anything but difficult. Its equal parts sugar, water, and passion fruit. Just cook like a normal simple syrup and strain. Done.

Will store-bought passion fruit juice work to make the syrup, or does it need to be fresh from passion fruit itself?

@@clellandm Store-bought works fine. I used the Small Hands version and it tastes great.

Very nice drink. I'm going to try it again, but with passion fruit puree. Love using pineapple leaves in the garnish.

I agree. Love the cork sound too!

I think the word you're looking for is pineapple "frond" 😉

Tomaševskiy Gnativ 😂 yup. When I was editing, I was like, 'it's frond you idiot!'

Other bands? Owners of other tikis bars, other musicians, influencers, historians, and artists--traditional, modern, environmental. So many people you can invite. Honestly, every video based on a recipe is brilliant. Marrying that with someone to interview? I'm so in. Love your shit Spike. Awesome.

Man, what a compliment. Thanks so much!

Thanks for posting some good content 😎 I’ve only had a tiki bar for a few months and this channel has helped

That looks good!

Great show as always dude. Aloha

Spike! Absolutely digging these "Glass That It Was Served In" series (and the logo)! Idea for you... print and sell beermat coaster sets of these. Feature photo of the finished cocktail and recipe on one side and the "GTIWSI" logo on the other.

Just made this following ur recipe. You're right about the acidity, but still a fine tiki cocktail, and very easy. Cheers.

Rewatching this episode (trying to figure out what's in Trader Vic's Grog mix so I can make a Golden Grog...), I notice you're a Stone guy. That means IPAs! Hermano! A fellow hop head! 🙂 Never suspected from the beers I've seen ya drinking over the years....

I’m still so taken with that glass. Not very “Tiki” looking but supremely cool just the same. Well done, as always!

Thank you Matt, this was fun to watch. I'm also a fan of many of your cool shirts, if you would want to tell us a little about the shirt you're wearing during your episode, that'd be great. Once again, thank you my dear friend.

Tony Venegas thanks, Tony! I wish I knew anything about the shirts that I'm wearing other than what it says on the label and the approximate era of their creation.

TIKI TIP: I am not a fan of Pernod or absinthe. Instead of the "6 drops of Pernod and dash of Angostura", I use Don the Beachcombers secret weapon. "Herbstura" is a mix of half angostura and Herbsaint (another anise flovered nightmare). I substituted Pernod for Herbsaint. I use this everytime it's called for and it works. I was finding 6 drops of anise anything was ruining my Tiki drinks. No more! Aloha Nui!!!!

I agree with the TJ’s pineapple juice cans. Only pineapple juice I’ll use. Mahalo!

In some markets the TJ’s pineapple juice is in cartons in the refrigerated section. That’s the one I have settled on. Dole in refrigerated cartons is my 2nd choice.

gonna be on the lookout for that glass! did you know budweiser made bowling pin shaped bottles for bowling alley lounges? theyre pretty cool too!

Regarding the pineapple juice I've used both Dole's and Trader Joe's and what I've found is the Dole's can be wildly inconsistent can to can in terms of sweetness.

Just like a Marvel film, you have to wait until the very end to see the good stuff! :)

Frond. Pineapple 🍍 Frond!

In fact that drink looks a little like the Golden Grog from the email Trader Vic's sent me. Hmmmm....
