Tiki Central Canada

Hey Folks! I hope you are enjoying the summer and some tiki drinks as well!!This episode will cover the cocktail named Chief Lapu Lapu. It is one of those typical tiki cocktails that have different stories of "who" and "when" this was created. We will cover the story with Don the Beachcomber and his Filipino bartenders that he had in the back room creating the secret cocktails. There is the legend of Chief Lapu Lapu from the Philippines who was the first leader who resisted the Porteguese's leader (explorer) Ferdinand Magellan who was the first to go all the way around the world and prove the earth was round. Yes, after Christopher Columbus. The recipes are the following as we cover three of them on the show:Don the Beachcomber's recipe: 1.5 oz light Puerto Rican rum (Bacardi), 1.5 oz Dark Jamaican rum (Blackwell), 3 oz orange juice, 2 oz lemon juice, 1 simple syrup, 1 oz passion fruit syrup. Shake and unstrained pour into a large snifter glass and garnish with a cinnamon stick. Serves 2 people.Jeff "Beachbu
