yehoshua helped get the weekend off to a profitable start at think tank, by encouraging his co-workers to drink there after work. That was useful.
Yesterday,temima came over to the bar to have lunch, and visit me as her house was getting de-bedbugged. That was really nice.
My boss sent me home with homework: I have to design three tiki cocktails by Monday. Today, during the slack time between lunch and dinner, I played with a couple concepts, but nothing panned out. I still feel that some of these OUGHT to work out, somehow, but I'm not getting it. THE FLAVOR BIBLE suggests that one flavor combination which works well is coconut, ginger, and green tea, so I tried the coconut rum (NOT Malibu -- an actually drinkable one), ginger liqueur, and green tea liqueur, and there's some potential there, but it's not coming together.
My coconut, chocolate, and amaretto one ended up tasting exactly like a Yoo-Hoo. Not bad, but not at all tiki.

kiwi and green tea? loquat and ginger?
pineapple anything.
guava anything.

Date: 2010-10-09 11:34 am (UTC)We DO have lychee, but we already have a couple of drinks that use it well. But we don't really have anything that focuses on lychee + coconut, so that's something I'm playing with.
