#63: Sidewinder's Fang


 For the final drink of the family visit, I get to end with another great one, the Sidewinder's Fang.  This drink comes to us, supposedly, from the legendary Mai-Kai Polynesian Restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, Florida from the 1960s.  Drink is still served there, and one of the few places to serve it in its original 48oz goblet glass.  As you can see in the Brother-photo, the drink is large, requiring a sidecar even when in a hurricane glass.  Also, Ryan and I are expressing a completely normal level of enthusiasm for booze.
  • 1 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
  • 1 1/2 oz orange juice
  • 1 1/2 ounces passion fruit syrup
  • 1 oz dark Jamaican rum
  • 1 oz Demerara rum
  • 3 oz club soda
    This concludes the visit of the Badgerow Clan to the great Tonga Hut Cocktail Lounge.  Once father Badgerow and I finished off the last of the Tonga Punch Bowl, it was off to our next destination... which included one more Tiki Bar of course.  See you next week!
