#62: Pieces of Eight


    Many times have I stated that I've been looking forward to certain drinks for a long time, but this one may be one of the most highly anticipated, Pieces Of Eight.  This may be one of the most awesome drinks on the menu.  It is a perfect mixture of some pretty common tiki ingredients, but comes together to make the perfect tropical drink.  This amazing concoction was created at the Pieces of Eight restaurant in Marina Del Rey, California in the 60s.  The restaurant has since closed, but the drink lives on:
  • 0.5 oz fresh lime juice
  • 1.5 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 1.5 oz passionfruit syrup
  • 1.5 oz light Puerto Rican rum
  • 4 oz ( 0.5 cup) crushed ice

   A trip to the hut with four people wouldn't be complete without a classic Tonga Punch Bowl.  Lit up with 151 in the famous waterfall holders that make up the centerpiece of this perfect community bowl, it makes an entertaining and effective booze sharing experience.
