Keylo Lewis transferred the new Blowfish Bar logo he created to a wood sign for the front door entryway. Here is the rough-out... And here it is nearly finished, with clear-coat weatherproofing to go... At the Blowfish Bar last night, we tried out the Islander Special cocktail recipe from the long extinct Moon Islander (see http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=26860&forum=1&vpost=487552)... We used freshly squeezed lemon juice, Publix Old Fashioned Premium Orange Juice in a carton, Dole Pineapple Juice in a carton, Trader Vic’s Orgeat Syrup, Kamora Coffee Liqueur (a leftover we had, imported from Mexico) and Myers’s Original Dark Rum, instead of the light rum called out by recipe. We like that smokey flavor of Myers's. It was pretty good, but too sweet for our tastes, so we dropped the Orgeat Syrup and minimized the ice for another round, yielding a unique cocktail that was a perfect sundowner. It was indeed another day in Paradise. -Tom
