Finishing week 5 of the Grog Log is the Red Tide. Similar to the Polynesian Spell, in terms of strong fruit flavor, this cocktail uses tequila as the alcohol base, mixed with orange juices, and uses pomegranate as the forefront flavor. I've seen some recipes claim to use Vodka and Cranberry to make a Red Tide, but personally I think this pushes the flavor closer to a Hurricane. The Tonga recipe gives it a tangy flavor, with a bit more kick. Mike McKee graciously came down to join me this week, and managed to take down some Tiki flavors himself, here he is soaking up the booze and the ambiance of the Hut.
Just had a Red Reef at the Tonga Hut, and was told it consisted of Rum, Granadiene and Lime juice.
