Tiki Drinks

Recently Pete, Abby, Xander, and Emma were here for a visit. We went to Bubba Gump's Shrimp Company out at the Mall of America. They were featuring tiki drinks on the cocktail menu. 

Pete and I started with the Tiki Lagoon. It contained Captain Morgan spiced rum, Don Q coconut rum, Bols Blue Curacao, pineapple juice, lime juice, Genadine, and Sprite. Both were a teeny bit on the sweet side but otherwise quite good. 

For round two we went with the Tiki Jaja. It contained Jaja Blanco tequila, passion fruit and mango puree, pineapple juice, lime juice, and sweet and sour.

Abby designed a menu for her tiki bar which included drinks snacks and even pie!

I ordered both key lime and pumpkin!

Abby's Tiki Bar Part 1

While visiting my brother Pete in Washington DC over the week of Thanksgiving, we tried to get in to Archipelago on Wednesday. We drove in to the city and it turned out they were closed. My neice, Abby, felt so badly that we couldn't get in that she surprised me by creating a tiki bar just for me on Thanksgiving Day! Xander, Emma, and Abby's friend Kayliegh helped her set it up. She designed mostly non-alcoholic cocktails although Stephanie helped her concoct a signature tiki drink just for me that contained gold rum, light rum, lemon juice, lime juice, Horny Gator mix, and Sprite. She served it up in the shark tiki mug I bought her last year at Archipelago. I was so touched by the thoughtfulness of it all that I got a little teary. Thanks, Abby!
