    Thanks for warm­ing me up and get­ting me in the “island” frame of mind. You’ve turned my Bah Hum­bug atti­tude into a spir­ited Rah Rum­bug mood.

    The Bum will also enthu­si­as­ti­cally agree that, at win­try hol­i­day time, two other ingre­di­ents in the Tiki reper­toire also do yeo­man ser­vice to the warm spicy tastes of the holidays…falernum (a sweet syrup from the trop­ics) and All­spice Dram (a sweet and spicy rum-based liqueur from the trop­ics) and they help meld the exotic Tiki party with good old rosy Christ­mas cheer! 

    More Bum I say! –Doc.

    I dis­like overly sweet drinks, very sur­pris­ing this is not the case here.

    Pol­ish­Prince: There are actu­ally many Tiki drinks that are NOT overly sweet! Unfor­tu­nately, a lot of peo­ple have only expe­ri­enced s0-called Tiki cock­tails mixed by peo­ple who don’t know the his­tory or what they are doing. Just because you mix rum with fruit juice doesn’t make it a Tiki drink! They are often quite sophis­ti­cated, with exotic under­cur­rents, as shown in the Zom­bie video with Beach­bum Berry. I hope this piques your inter­est into this style of cocktailing!
