Tiki drinks aren't supposed to be slushee frozen drinks. It's supposed to be the same way you did your mai tai. When a tiki drink calls for a "flash blend" or any sort of blend it means in a milkshake mixer and it's only supposed to be for no more than 5 seconds.
I know the Bum uses the term blender when referring to Don drinks, but Don used a Hamilton Beach Drink Mixer. Most likely a model 18 or 18-B during the 1930s (Bacardi and I believe Ron Rico gave bars 18-Bs with their name and recipes on them). You can pick a cheapo Hamilton Beach Model 729 at Walmart for roughly $25. Does exactly what’s intended for “blend on high for five seconds with crushed ice”.
Now this is a version I can get behind! Didn't really like your first take on it, but doing multiple versions of it just makes so much sense as there are so many good ones! I also like using some pineapple juice in my planter's punch. I think, but I don't know how other viewers feel. you should do a lot more tiki content. I find that all of my favorite cocktails are tiki. Granted, I am a big rum drinker, so that kinda steers me to rum cocktails, and most famous tiki drinks are heavy on the rum. I would love to see you make a Pearl diver and a few variations of the zombie! FYI - the link to patreon (or any link for that matter) doesn't have a backslash, it's a regular (forward) slash
Ugh, it's already Tiki season again? I"m not really complaining, but just realized that I literally have one pour of each of my ingredients left. At least rum is relatively inexpensive compared to my winter time bourbon.
Yes, at least in classic tiki because you could make the drinks faster in a bar. The old recipes mention to only blend around 5 seconds with crushes ice, basically simulating a quick shake with crushed ice. This technique is known as a “flash blend” and is intended to properly dilute rather than to make the drink a slushy. I normally just shake with crushed ice anyway since the blender techniques are only more efficient for higher quantities of the same drink, I don’t really feel like cleaning my blender every time I want a tiki drink 😂
Don probably only used the blender for one or two classic tiki cocktails. Most would have been mixed with a barmixer (malt mixer) or shaken. The barmixer is basically a high speed swizzle. Chills and dilutes without grinding up the ice. Great tool, especially when you’re churning out tons of drinks.
Seeing you destroy that drink with the blender makes me cringe. Flash blend it with crushed ice in a spindle mixer for 5-7 seconds. That's it. Pour with a gated finish (if necessary depending on glassware) and top with more crushed ice. Making it into a slushy is just wrong, wrong, wrong. Traditional tiki drinks were never slushy. Slushies and frozen drinks didn't come until the fern bars of the 70s and 80s.

Beat me to it.
I personally love Smugglers Cove’s version. The pimento dram fits so well into the drink.

Sam van den Biggelaar where do you see a link with a back slash?
@@TheEducatedBarfly it's in the video at around 4:47. Not written, though.

You forgot to add grenadine to the list of ingredients in the description. Thanks for the upload and keep up the awesome work!

Why blended ?
Using blender is classic way to do cocktails?
Yes, at least in classic tiki because you could make the drinks faster in a bar.

It’s a classic mistake but it makes the world of difference.
