Can you turn your Bourbon Whisky Tiki?? We try out the historic drink, the Derby Cocktail Tropicale´

In this episode we celebrate Lauren getting her skipper's license. Now Ryan has to pay her every time we take Coco Bongo out for an adventure ??? Tiki history and culture is unbelievably complex and super interesting. If you are curious to know more, Jim "Beachbum" Berry's books would be a great starting place. He has written some stuff you can really get lost in. He doesn't just cover drink recipes- he shares a TON of well-researched Caribbean history with stories of European exploration, pirates, slavery, and much more. Incredible summer reading!!! Tiki drinks with bourbon are rare- they tend to call for rum. But if done right, big-bodied whisky/whiskey's can go particularly well with spices that pop up consistently in tiki recipes like cinnamon, clove, allspice, and nutmeg. Some juices work, some don't. Pineapple juice and fruit almost always do. Recipe ingredients: 2 and 1/2 oz Bourbon (we used Maker's Mark) 1/2 oz Lemon juice 1 oz Pineapple juice Thank you so much for supporting us by watching. It's awesome. We are having so much fun and we have BIG things in the works- so much more than just making drinks on the boat. So stay tuned!
