Bar Wish List
We're always looking to increase the range of cocktails available at the Tiki Bar. Currently, we'd be interested in adding the following items to our already dizzying array. Each list is in approximate order by priority.
Liquors we don't have
NOTE: These are likely to be HARD TO FIND, especially in Virginia (if they weren't we'd own them already).
- Voodoo Tiki Tequila Reposado
- VeeV Acai Spirit
- Voyant Chai Cream
- Voodoo Tiki Tequila Anejo
- Barbancourt 15 Year Rum
- Zaya 12 Year Rum
- Wide Eye Mango Chili Schnapps - can occasionally be found in DC liquor stores, but not reliably.
Liquors we are always running out of
These should be available just about anywhere
- Kraken Spiced Dark Rum - We tend to go through a bottle of this stuff every party.
- Captain Morgan's Tattoo - Tattoo & Gingerale is a favorite at the Tiki Bar
- 1800 Tequila - Margaritas are the most frequently ordered cocktail according to our statistics
- Bacardi Superior - what is a Tiki Bar without Rum? This is our basic rum and it is what goes in our oft-coveted Strawberry Banana Daiquiris
- Parrot Bay Coconut Rum - great stuff - goes in a "Day at the Beach", a "Creamy D" or the old standby "Parrot Bay & Pineapple Juice".
- Finlandia Vodka - despite being a rum-heavy bar, somehow we go through a fair amount of vodka. Finlandia is great for the price.
- Sour Apple Pucker - Cup and I drink this stuff like water
Mixers
- Blenheim Extra Hot Gingerale (pink cap) - we've got some, but are always looking for me since we have no local source. Primarily available from "South of the Border" on I-95 in South Carolina. If you happen to be passing by, please consider stopping and picking us up a case.
- Stirrings Authentic Pomegranate Grenadine - so allegedly, what currently passes for Grenadine these days is garbage, and this is what it is supposed to taste like. I'm curious - must try it sometime.
- Orgeat Syrup - should be available anywhere that sells flavored coffee syrups like Torrani syrups.
Equipment
- Bottle Cap Catcher - we've got a bar-mounted bottle opener, but the caps just fall on the floor and hurt our feet when we step on them.
- G System Keg Coupler - if we ever want Bass, Boddington's, or Anchor Steam on tap, we'll need one of these.
- U System Keg Coupler - if we ever want Guinness or Harp on tap, we'll need one of these.
- New Kegerator Drip Tray - The drip tray that came with the kegerator is insufficiently classy.
- New Kegerator CO2 Regulator - This dual-guage regulator would allow us to actually see when the CO2 is getting low in the tank
- Tiki Decor - This is one great source for it.
