I love doing cocktail Mashup's. The Mai Ti' Punch was one of the first cocktails I ever came up with and it turned out amazing. Someone on Reddit made a post about using Averna and Club soda as a substitute for Coco-Cola. So, I tried, and it works surprisingly well. This cocktail tastes like the offspring of a Dark & Stormy and Cuba Libre, and it packs quite the punch. It's named after the movie that I finally watched not too long ago. Such a great film!

A home enthusiast with a passion for all things tiki! Rum is my favourite poison, but I also love Whiskey, Brandy and just about every other spirit. I'm fairly new to cocktail making but I quickly fell in love with it and enjoy the pursuit of finding my new favourite libation. Cheers! ...

Editor's Note

Averna and ginger liqueur mimic the profile of a Cuba Libre without the soda. High-proof Demerara rum provides a backbone that stands up to the complex, herbal sweetness.
