Mixology Monday: The Seven Labors of Tiki-ercules

Lest you think I've gone all Sammy Maudlin on your asses with the departure of Son of Mr. BH, let me present you with my Mixology Monday Labor Day offering to the Tiki Gawds.

It's an absolutely perfect Labor Day outside: Sunny, 86 degrees, 40% humidity. I've got chicken breasts marinated in olive oil, pepper and onion grilling on the 'que, with red-potato salad, watermelon, and oriental broccoli-salad waiting to accompany it. What to drink with such a feast...what?MM-7.jpg

The Seven Labors of Tiki-ercules, that's what:

2 oz. Whaler's Dark Rum
1 oz. 10 Cane Rum
1 1/2 oz. Appleton XV Estate Rum
1/4 oz. Trader Vic's Macadamia Nut Liqueur
1/2 oz. Creme de Banana
1/2 oz. Kalani Coconut Liqueur
8 oz. Pineapple Juice
1 cup crushed ice
Garnish with....what-ever!

Pour all ingredients into a blender, saving ice for last. Blend on high speed for no more than 5 seconds, and pour into a hurricane glass.
