Excellent advice on how to stock your bar. I have bunches of bottles of liquour I have never touched that I bought because I thought they would be cool. There’s no point. Unless the bottle is shaped like a crystal skull. Akroyd totally should have done an Indiana Jones cross-promotion.
Yesterday I was playing with a shopping list app on my Android Phone and decided to try and scan the bar-codes of my bar stock. I had pretty good luck, over 75% of the scans worked, though a couple came back weird, mostly listed as skins for Blackberry phones?
So here is a running inventory of our bar. I didn’t realize how many different types of rum we have, pretty exciting. And I also discovered that my bottle shelving is half the size it needs to be!

In a rocks glass, add ice and the following:
Stir and enjoy with your Valentine.
Their version included soda also, but we omitted it.
Sunday night I created a new drink, if you can call it that. We picked up a bottle of Hpnotiq liqueur in a gift pack over the holidays, and opened it up this weekend. We mixed up a couple drinks from the recipe card with it, and then I decided to try and pair it with the X Rated Fusion liqueur, because what better to mix a vodka liqueur with, than another vodka liqueur?shake with ice and strain into a glass
Who comes up with these names?
A deep throat is served in a shot glass and consists of:
Pour Kahlua into the shot glass, followed by the Irish Cream. If you want to get fancy, pour the Irish Cream over the back of a spoon to make it float on top. Add whipped cream.
This drink is deceptively sweet, and even though it doesn’t seem like a lot, will sneak up on you.
I’m going to start trying to post a drink of the week, every week. We’ll see how that goes. They aren’t all going to be Tiki drinks, just drinks enjoyed in the Tiki Bar. For our first drink, it’s the one we’ve enjoyed the most lately: The Red Headed Slut. Not a very flattering name, but a great drink. If all you have heard are bad things about Jagermeister, don’t be scared, the peach schnapps and cranberry juice blend with it very well.
Mix in a rocks glass. Enjoy.
