Mix number three hundred was from Kelly Merrell of Trader Sam's. Well,I didn't have the mug that drink came from,but I do have several other Tikiland Trading mugs,and they've also got drink card recipes from Kelly. So I decided to give a few more of his mixes a try. Enjoy!

Mix #302 Bilge & Stave

1oz Clement VSOP agricole rhum 1oz El Dorado 8yr Demerara rum* 3/4oz lime juice 3/4oz grapefruit juice 3/4oz passionfruit syrup 1/4oz simple syrup 3 drops orange flower water soda water

Shake everything except soda and pour into mug. Top with 1-2oz soda water(to taste).

*I used Lemon Hart

From my Sunken Rum Barrel drink card,this was tart and citrus-y with funk on the end. Not really my thing,but if you like tart give it a try.

Mix #303 Sea Gazing

1oz aged rum* 3/4oz 151 Demerara rum* 1oz pineapple juice 3/4oz Keel Mix** 1/2oz simple syrup 1tsp allspice dram 2 dashes Angostura bitters

Shake or blend with ice and pour into mug(I shook it).

*I used Appleton Estate 12yr and Lemon Hart.

**Keel Mix = 3 parts lime juice/1 part ginger syrup

From my Dive!Dive!Dive! drink card comes a flavorful drink with spice and a ginger burn on the end. The 151 gives it plenty of kick. This would also do well as a Christmas drink.

Mix #304 Road to Salamaua

2oz agricole rhum* 1tsp Green Chartreuse 1/4oz lemon juice 1/2oz cinnamon syrup 1/2oz honey syrup 1/4oz simple syrup 1/8tsp(10 drops) absinthe 2 dashes Angostura bitters

Shake or blend with ice and pour into mug(I shook it).

*I used Clement VSOP.

From my Lost Lagoon drink card,a very complex drink of honey,cinnamon(sweet,no burn),and herbal flavors and some funk on the end. Very nice.

Mix #305 On The Reef

1.5oz London dry gin* 1/2oz agricole rhum* 3/4oz lime juice 3/4oz pineapple juice 3/4oz orange juice 3/4oz passionfruit syrup 1/2oz orgeat 1/4oz honey syrup 1/8tsp absinthe

Blend with 10oz ice and pour into mug.

*I used Citadelle and Clement VSOP.

Two of my friends have the Lost's Petrified Puffer mug this drink comes from. It's very sweet,almost tourist-y,with funk on the end.

So if you're looking for cool mugs,hop over to Tikiland Trading. They've also got other cool Tiki stuff as well. And tell 'em Giltron sent you,maybe I'll get a free mug or something.
