Tiki Madness
From the 'Just In Case You Missed It' files (or JICYMI), I love Tiki. The link to my new favorite podcast is over to the right, but if you can't find that, you can click here. While Tiki Bar TV amuses me on a monthly basis - It's just not enough Tiki. So, I started to look for all things tiki, and while I will not simply list them- but slowly post them over the rest of this year, I have found some fascinating stuff on Curacao.
1. It's a country - not just a drink!
2. All Curacao does not taste the same
3. All Curacao tastes pretty much like a less sweet version triple sec (some bitterness)
4. Curacao is actually Clear -the blue, green, orange, etc... are food dye.
5. For a Mai Tai you are suppose to use Orange Curacao, but nobody would notice Blue Curacao after a few. (or triple sec with some bitters)
6. There is only one true Curacao - from the island itself!
Tiki God says Curacao Good!

Curacao: good question... apparently the guy at Cletus Liquor, where I asked for the stuff- thinks it's "Cur a cow" but in reality it is "Cur a sow"- so remember when thinking about Curacao- it is all about the pig, not the cow.

A gift from the Tiki Gods OR Amy scanned the pic, and I photoshopped the sucker...
