Finishing this trip to the Hut is the Eastern Sour. This is another classic, served in the 50s sometimes at Trader Vic establishments, and yes there was also a Western Sour that was made at Kon-Tiki restaurants. The Sour part comes from the mix of a mountain of sugar, and bourbon.
- Juice of 1/2 orange
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1/4 oz orgeat syrup
- 1/4 oz rock candy syrup
- 2 oz rye or bourbon
There ya go, a nice mix of sweet and sour to result in a lively tiki cocktail flavor. My guests this week were my co-captain Mike McKee, and Thy Than, making her first appearance since way back on drink number 7! Good times had by all, and another successful Tonga Hut adventure. Cheers!
