\"Sven<\/a>Here I am in the Hapa Haole Hideaway<\/a>, enjoying a “Sven Tiki,” page 83 of Intoxica<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0That’s hot webcam action<\/a>! I finally have the all important orange juice to complete this recipe. My first thought looking at the recipe<\/a> is, an ounce of grenadine can’t be good. But, I trust the Bum, so I pushed onward. I eased up on the lime a bit. Maybe 3\/4 ounce. It was fine and would have been fine with a full ounce of lime juice. I ended up giving it a 7. I liked it. I’d drink it again. I liked the club soda tingle in it. But, it didn’t have a certain depth and rich rum aroma that I need to give it a higher score.<\/p>\n

Personally, I’d take a tip from Sven’s German roots and find a recipe with the appropriate sounding Van der Hum in it. Cheers to Big Bro and the world of tiki he has fostered! I can’t wait to give him a big ol’ hug at Hukilau in October. Can’t wait for the new book on Witco either! Get it while it’s “cheap.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
