I did it all wrong! [Headhunter]

- A few weeks ago we embarked on a journey to Ohio to learn about the famed Kahiki restaurant. A viewer even sent us a vintage Kahiki moai tiki mug in which to make the drink. Everything was going swimmingly until I revealed the recipe. The tiki world erupted, people howled, it was mass pandemonium (that may be a bit exaggerated). The recipe was one that was posted by Kahiki Foods on Facebook. That was the business that survived the closure of the Kahiki establishment. So I figured that they would be in the know... and while the recipe looked just north of repulsive, I did the honorable thing and subjected myself to that drink. For you. For the cocktail imbibing WORLD.
During the madness of the fallout, a buddy (Tim Swanky Glazier) reached out to me and said, 'I think I have THEE recipe to the Headhunter. So here we go again...
To make the the drink in the video you will need:
--------------------------------------
1/2 oz guava juice
1 1/2 oz fresh squeezed orange juice
1 oz pineapple juice
1 oz gold rum
1 oz white rum
--------------------------------------
Mix on high and pour into a Kahiki Headhunter mug.
Garnish with pineapple cube skewered to a maraschino cherry

Coors is the best man, haters going to hate
The reason why I like this channel so much is because if it’s not a good drink, you say so
My apologies if this is TL:DR
This is where the comedy of tiki comes into play. It's something that for many people and several decades was being made up as it went, it was designed to have some level of flexibility, and was meant to be a place (mentally and physically) to unwind and escape and live in the moment, and yet some are more uptight and rigid about tiki than some other things in life, which never fails to make me stop and remember the purpose of the movement then and now.
Don't worry about the haters Spike they're always going to be around just keep on doing your best man and leave the rest.
Guava is definitely an interesting but tricky flavor to play with in tiki cocktails.
I’m having my first ever Mai- Kai drink ever ( the Black Magic) and watching the breezeway cocktail hour. What a great Friday.
Looked up a Kahiki drink menu in hopes it might shed some light on the basic ingredients. All it says of the Headhunter is "take care you don't lose your head." Sage words in this case, I think!
Cheers Spike-- I like guava, but haven't done too much with it yet. If you like gin, here's a gin and tonic I did recently with a can of guava nectar I'm calling my Guava Tonic:
We spent a lot of time at the kahiki in the end days and own a lot of artifacts from the place.
Nice try Spike and thanks for the histiory. Every few year I forget and retry Guava and even though it sounds exotic, it's very bland and almost sucks the flavor out of everything else around it. Thanks for the confirmation.
So much salt and vinegar in the first 4 minutes. Lol I'm siding with Spike on this.
Aloha Spike and Sparky.
Beautifully done Spike. Why not the Luxardo's? You have turned me on to Luxardo's cherrys. The classy of cherry's.
WoW. I feel bad you felt like you had to apologize for that episode/recipe. I really liked that show. I've duplicated some drinks that have also tasted terrible. Not EVERY Tiki Drink is wonderful. Keep up the Great Work!
But hey! That mug!
Thanks for another great episode !
Can't thank you enough for this one, Spike! I've been looking for this recipe for over a year now, and thanks to you I finally have it! Cheers, man!
Trader Sam's puts guava nectar in their Krakatoa Punch cocktail so it does pop up from time to time in tiki drinks. :) Great video! Wish I could have seen the Kahiki for myself as well.
Thanks for revisiting the headhunter! Appreciate all your hard work with these videos
