#33: Waikikian


Before checking out this week, it was time to try the rhythmically named Waikikian.  I lucked out this week with two great drinks.  In contrast to the flavor of the Polynesian Paralysis, this drink is less blended, more straight-up, appropriately served in an Old Fashioned glass.  This deceptively simple concoction consists of Lemon Juice, Orgeat, Curacao, Light Rum, which is then shaken in a cocktail shaker, poured into the appropriate glass and then served with a Dark Rum floater on top.  Overall, it has a rich, almost smokey/nutty flavor, the Curacao mixed with Orgeat sets it apart.  Nick tackled the house specialty, the Ginger Flame, always a good decision.
