#35: Tahitian


     Next on the list is a uniquely flavored, complex drink:  The Tahitian.  I was warned that I might not like this one, before I dived in.  The warning definitely had some merit, as it has an intense, tangy taste with a good alcoholic kick to it.  The intensity perhaps comes from the billion ingredients within; Rhum Barbancourt, bitters, syrup, creme de cacao, lime juice, pineapple juice, and Jamaican and Puerto Rican Rum.  Garnished with a lime, this was certainly a tough one to take down.
     My guest once again is the incomparable Mike McKee.  He managed to slam through the classic Honi-Honi, and then two Lisa-Marie specials; the Rye Mai Kai (pictured below) and her Blood Orange Manhattan, a new McKee favorite.  Cheers!
