165 The Guilty Wahine

View fullsize

Have you ever wondered what kind of drink fits on occasion?  Heres a cocktail for an occasion some of us have personal experience with.  The Guilty Wahine: start with the fresh squeezed juice of 2 good size limes, add  3/4 oz. coconut cream, 1.5 oz. Cruzan Coconut Rum, add a splash of Anejo Rum.  Shake it real good with crushed ice and pour into a tall sexy glass.  Top with a good spiced rum like Sailor Jerry or Zaya Gran Reserve, 1 oz.  Garnish with a lime wedge pierced by a sword and cherry.  Now sit back in your chair, put the straw to your lips, inhale the aroma of the citrusy sweet paradise, enjoy.  Now what does this have to do with that Wahine?  Well, here it comes.  A guy comes home from a long day working the front desk at a beach front resort.  He slips off his hard shoes and feels the floor with his bare feet.  Ahhhhh, so much better.  Grabs the remote, sits down and puts on his favorite show.  Coming into the room, SHE says "would you like a nice drink?"  He eagerly accepts.  After 10 minutes of watching the big wave surf classic she brings him an innocent looking frosty concoction.  Without a word he starts sucking it down.  Sour like lime-aid but sweet and creamy like coconut pie.  The spice rum float made it tempting to drink from the top as well.  And suddenly the drink was gone.  She asks "you want another one?"  He was already shaking his head before she finished her words.  Sure, she says.  But first I wanted to tell you that my mother will be staying with us for a few weeks.  She will be here, (Surprised) "Oh, theres the door now."  The guy stares at her "innocent" looking smile.  He looks into her eyes and says "lets not forget about that second drink."  He thought to himself that he knew that her mother was coming.  She always makes me this drink when she's not telling me something.  At least he could look forward to the mother in law visiting in one way. I don't usually gone on so much about a tiki drink.  But you just need to mix this one up and sip while you listen to the show.  Consider it a prerequisite.  Mahalo to all of you who sent in your vacation pic of sunny tropical destinations.  Visit ZenTikiLounge.com for everything and anything.
