custom to few mugs in st. Pete
so welcome John thank you so much yeah
that's great to be here thanks so you
are an expert in the Tiki culture if you
will I'm your local all right so so I'm
excited about these drinks that you're
gonna be making because half the
ingredients I didn't even know about
that they existed before you sent over
the recipes so tell us a little bit
about these exotic ingredients are gonna
be making well there's a lot of things
you know obviously tiki drinks are
basically mostly based on rum but
there's also a lot of tropical fruits
and simple syrups complexity of flavors
that we're gonna do so we're gonna play
with a couple of
I dram tonight we're gonna play with
flarin and wash a now for those of us
like myself which didn't know until I
visited the Google machine
what is DRAM Flair gnome and origin well
we're doing an allspice DRAM time and
some a dram was an old term for using
alcohol to extract kind of like flavors
out of herbal medicines back into pretty
interesting now we use it to extract the
flavors in this case of allspice and
cinnamon and so it's it's an over proof
two spiced rum or I've infused it with
allspice and cinnamon and we're gonna
get a real punchy spicy flavor got it
okay or Jay originally was a French or
invention it was emulsified almonds and
they'd use it in place of milk so now we
we mix kind of emulsified sugar and
almond extract and things like that to
have a real kind of like nutty sweet
flavor it's it's used in traditionally
in my ties what you're gonna make
tonight I am yeah so and then we're
gonna make a flare Knight I based all my
drinks around flaring them tonight flare
numb is a simple syrup which is two
parts sugar one part water but this one
is infused with ginger star anis which
is kind of a licorice flavor cinnamon
ginger and it's important so that's what
happens on like you know just repeat
yourself so all our drinks tonight have
flare no Mahalo
Oh - okay excellent so what's the first
string curry Tami's showing us how to
make well I
Jenna and I first went to a tiki bar
this is probably 10 or 15 years ago
Coleman it was the first time I ran into
flaring them and it was the drink was
called a bar Kaizen baby so that is some
name yeah I had three columns they were
tikis carved on American Marchesa style
it's one of the Polynesian islands and
it was based on the legend of the baby
eater or the cannibal and this this was
their signature drink and it was the
first time I'd ever had it and it was
like one of those times where you're
like oh my gosh what is this flavor
mm-hmm and the bartender was like well
it's flaring him and we make it so I
immediately
and goodwill did and over the course of
a few years I kind of perfected my own
Flair from from drinking that one so
this granite tasted and regrowing what
is it sampling
you know on the internet there's always
a 10,000 different oh definitely and you
always have to make your own but I think
I came up with the perfect blend all
right well I'll be the judge of that
so go ahead and let's do it so this is
let's get a couple iced up a couple of
cups okay I always make my drinks in a
pint glass and usually I use a Boston
shaker it allows me to mix my drinks
well okay so we're gonna mix we're gonna
mix two drinks for me and you in this
little one right here so I'm going to
use a blended rum I'm gonna use Appleton
tonight okay and I'm gonna use an ounce
a half and I pour a little heavy I did I
don't go too heavy everybody thinks that
a good cocktail has a ton of booze in it
but measuring is number one yes as long
as you we have a term here on mix and
mingle that was coined this season and
it's called SH mouses yeah yes so that's
when you have a little bit of a heavy
pour it's not you're trying to measure
but if it smells a little extra drop
it's okay i i i always think that a good
balanced drink and a repeatable drink
like you go to your favorite bar and
you're like make me my favorite drink
and the bartender knows you and making
that consistent repeatable drink is
important and measuring as total
definitely I always measure mine so I'm
the same way everybody's like well just
pour it in and I'm like it won't be the
same
it'll be awesome so I'm gonna use
pineapple juice in this case and I'm
gonna I'm gonna go ahead and do equal
parts pineapple juice and rum okay and
then I'm gonna use lime juice a lie a
friend of mine says that you should have
one ounce of lime juice for our one
ounce of citrus for every one ounce of
rum but I like a little more wrong
so now while you're saying rum a lot I
do you have to give a shout-out to our
sponsor Co drug the maker of delicious
rums in Florida thank you code room for
being our sponsor keep to the code all
right now pomegranate juice is this is
the blood of the cannibal yeah we'll use
them now if you don't have pomegranate
juice go out and buy some I guess or you
can use a juice Granberry and of course
all of our drinks tonight have lemon so
like I said I made this flaring them and
you have the recipe I gave it to you yes
and they have the recipe too for sure
you can buy flarin them you know there's
a place called Maggie's Farm that makes
an amazing flare them I'm gonna do a
little a little less than that about
half of a pour on that okay I'm gonna
give it a good stir and that now the
original recipe called for a 151 topper
which yeah it's a little too much booze
so sometimes just to get give it that
kind of like chocolate note or coffee
note I'll put a topper of a dark
Jamaican rum and this is how I use
Meyers
I like Meyers Gosling's a good dark rum
as well but it will just give it that
slight kind of like sweet coffee flavor
okay and then every drink should have a
garnish if you go to a good tiki bar
garnish is very very important in this
case I'm just gonna use lime I'm gonna
use lime a fresh lime and a total eye
minute to brighten it up a bit a good
flavor and then this cocktail my first
one in the night all right thanks for
having me mm-hmm that's good can you
taste the Flair a minute I can yeah a
little bit of a licorice a little bit of
a ginger afternoon it's very good it's
that interesting those like yeah like
like I said complexity of flavor you're
like what is going on you can definitely
tell the complexity of flavors in it
it's not just you know
but what you would get at your you know
local dive bar where it's just fruit
juice and realm like you taste all the
flavors in this it's delicious
sometimes less is more but sometimes
more as it's got a good nose to another
thing you know we always think about
like fresh mint and all those things so
you where you smell it with your nose
and then drink it with your lips yes yes
smell really does make a difference but
what you're drinking or tasting this is
where we're like shooting uh no so for
the second drink you're gonna be making
it is a it's a Saturn Saturn right okay
like the station wagon no I'm just
kidding all right few Saturn card
something you know how recipes the UM
the next drink is going to be a Saturn
and it's a gin-based drink I drink a lot
of gin
you know I every alcohols effect
different people in different ways so it
was like I'll I'll drink a beer I don't
be like I love you you know that kind of
deal all drink tequila and I'll be like
all of a sudden we need to find my ramaa
get a little slurry on but gin I put on
the goofy suit so like when I say the
goofy suit I mean I drink gin and I can
talk smack all night long I think our
producer would agree that such a same
way when I drink gin so it is a
gin-based drink which is very very
unusual
yeah that's almost unheard of there are
a few drinks there's one called the
zombie which is a classic drink that has
gin in it but it's kind of the Long
Island iced tea of tea it's got gin and
everything else in it you know isn't
there usually like a limit the house
yeah like only one zombie or two zombies
per customer so I've got the body weight
to handle
so we're gonna do it so we're gonna
start with gni I am in this case you
know I like a good mid-shelf drink gin I
drink a lot of beefeaters there's a lot
of really great gems on the market we're
going to be mixing it with a lot of like
lime juice and things our lemon juice in
this case matter of fact which is also
unusual so beefeaters is okay you don't
have to have super high engine good
mid-shelf gin and we'll do because we're
gonna put a bunch of flavors into it
okay I like that something affordable
yeah so um when I when I say mid-shelf
are not a lot of flavors I'm gonna put
gin so we're gonna go gin-based ring
okay now it's supposed to have a flare
and of course I'm going to pour about
1/2 a pore of flarin of it okay now
we're going or J in this well as well so
it's gonna it's gonna sweeten it up and
I've got kind of a barmaid or Shea
there's a lot of war Jason if your local
liquor store doesn't have RJ just go hey
we won or J and they'll order boy
there's no problem I just had my local
place order this one oh they're like can
you shower see yeah they're like well we
have these tiny little bottles and I'm
like we're professionals I need the
point so once again a half a pour mm-hmm
now the original the original recipe
called for a passion for your passion
fruit simple syrup which is a simple
syrup two parts sugar one Grail and then
like a passion fruit puree but like I
said I'd like to drink alcohol so I've
gone in for a passion fruit vodka now
the passion fruit vodka people make fun
of flavored vodkas but in this case I'm
using the flavor come in handy and for
sure so it and it has a real kind of
punchy passion fruit flavor I'm gonna go
for a full pour and that's what the heck
bounces so like I said this drink is
supposed to be a lemon base jib drink
which is unusual doesn't happen very
often so it's gonna be are okay are you
know what in here now with the gin is
probably measures well though it's that
sweet and sour so yeah the sweetness of
the
or J and the sweetness of the flare gnam
and then that's offset with the kind of
spicy and juniper II of the gin and then
the tartness of the lime juice or lemon
juice and that's that's basically the
drink so I'm going to give it a little
bit of a stir okay pour it and of course
I've made a garnish for it and because
it's it's called the Saturn
yes Saturn yeah you know you can really
wowzer fight your friends welcome to our
fabulous has the Saturn ring I remember
that from a book report I did in the
fourth grade
that writer ensures that the sixth
planet that's what Google's for that's
exactly right good luck oh now you
wouldn't expect this from a gin drink
right I wouldn't know hmm the passion
fruit you can really do pulls it through
mm-hmm it's a nice aftertaste hmm I can
drink this we we end up at like Tiki
events and at every TV event they have
room parties and room crawls they call
them and everyone makes their own home
cocktail and we've won best cocktail
with this drink right
well you just took one of my questions
away oh I'll have forgotten by that well
speaking of mingle uh how about we go
ahead and pick a drink and pour them
into these beautiful tiki mugs that you
not only brought them made they're
lovely so it's good and I think I don't
know which one I think I will choose the
first drink yes mine I'm gonna go for
this because like I said my producer
thinks gin makes me goofy oh is all the
end of the show all right
lovely
would you like a straw figure oh yeah
that's dress whenever you drink out of
CG mugs mister also Carol thank you yes
I leave my fabulous garnish did I Oh
drink I don't want to upset the
garnishes all right let's go to Orlando
you're drinking from a rum Barrel by the
way I love it
I really do I'm gonna talk about it oh
yeah they can see it so on the front is
eekum bokum which is the name of John's
company and then there's a cute little
bunghole which is what it's called yes
but it's just a silly word it's actually
Cork he was telling me salad this is
it's awesome
I love it you don't want to lose it in
the dishwasher doesn't hold as much
business so I was gonna ask like is
there any special instructions for
taking care of tiki mugs yeah we do hi
Firestone where am in they called
mid-range we call it I fire it's
basically stoneware so that's Bill I
always tease that it's built mold or
tough but it's belt loops nothing you
can throw it in the dishwasher and drop
it on the floor you can drop it it may
break but it's less likely to break them
just like your regular that's good to
know or something their bills in total
three are yeah all right so if I break
it right now so John tell me um for our
viewers who don't know you did used to
be in the military I did I did a life in
the military I was in the army
how did you go from military man to
artist I'd always been an artist my my
mother was an artist my grandmother was
artist and I'd always made art I always
kind of like identified myself as an
artist you know I think that I always
knew that I grow up and be an artist and
so it's just who I am and now I went in
the military as a circumstance and it
was an awesome part of my life I like I
spent you know most of my adult life I
loved it but I made art the whole time I
was littler I've always been the part
the local art association Xand had an
art studio and show them now you
mentioned people and your family were
entire to debate also do sculpture and
painting like you were my mic my gram my
mother and my grandmother's mostly just
painting I went back to college and I'd
I'd started you know in the military had
you know kind of a way to reconnect with
my mother you know 3,000 miles away I
used to hand sculpt heads hands and feet
for dolls and I would send them out to
my mother and she would make the
armatures and the clothing and we do
Santa Clauses mostly just as a way to
connect with my mother when I went back
to college everyone takes sculpture
mm-hmm
and I did really well on sculpture and I
made tiki mugs so that was actually
leading into my next question is um so
with starting out the tiki mugs what
kind of got you into that were you
always into the TV culture or I think it
started out as a collection like my
mother was a crazy collector I'm a crazy
collection and Jen my wife and I lived
in Virginia's mid 90s or something then
we'd gone to a local thrift store word
thrift store you know and there was a
that was a Tiki mug on the shelf and was
like a buck and it was a Paul Marshall
product and I bought it was like a buck
and I took it home and like I don't know
like a week later that was another one
or the bar had a not a bar but another
thrift store and then I had three mm-hmm
once you have three it's just on it's a
collection we have almost a thousand
probably it's not do you have a favorite
out of all of them or at this point do
you kind of forget what you know you
know no I you know it's funny because
like we have a lot of mugs and so
sometimes I'll arrange them on shelves
by types like you have a run barrel I
probably have 50 different run barrels
from different saw like all have all my
rum barrels in one spot I'll have all my
coos and one spot COO this is a coup
it's a Hawaiian Scott's sometimes I'll
have all of them by the bar mm-hmm like
the island or from stocked and then the
mai Chi from Fort Lauderdale on all
arranged them like that and then
sometimes all I all have like all my
orange ones and all my green ones and
blue ones so you can almost change them
by season like it drives my for wife
nice yeah you know what I feel like just
playing rum barrels this month well we
have them all out so it's like what you
know so as we go through but I do have a
favorite a couple of favorites there's
ones I'm always looking for you know
kind of thing there was a place called
the aku-aku
which was a tiki bar in the starlight
lounge in las vegas it's defunct now
it's gone but it was a classic mo high
which is a in Easter Island coming what
everybody thinks about you to Easter
Island that's but it was a big square
one with a lid with two stronghold I
love it so that's one of my favorites
for sure okay do you and your wife drink
out of a milkshake style like you know
the old tips like yeah I always see a
side we make a waddle lidded mugs oh my
I feel like I'm almost the king of livid
mugs at this point but um I was pushed
for two straw holes and everybody thinks
it's there for two deals but like I said
garnishment is so important so you gotta
have one for your straw then one for
your flaming accoutrement orchids and
that's what they're really fancy with
your orchid you know if you go and buy a
mai tai added at a bar mmm they'll have
they'll have a fresh market in it or at
least they should they should yeah oh my
one I had one today at the bar today
it did not cuz I don't I wasn't prepared
with my organ for behind I stopped at
public so they didn't have any Empress
produce dissection publics I work harder
oh is that everything shopping supplies
so um Publix is not a sponsor but they
sure so the name of your company
bucum is there a story behind the name
you know we you know like I said we
started collecting tea mugs in the night
playing a lot of Nintendo 64 who wasn't
especially in the night news oh my gosh
that was the best game system so on
there was a game called banjo kazooie it
was like a bear that had gone through
this like you know world and the bad guy
was a witch doctor and whenever you got
to the end of the level you had to be
the bad guy you know and so things would
go wrong and he would he would come out
screaming he kabukiman kaboom go off so
it was like you know just kind of a
cliche thing that we would say one way
over whenever we would find tiki mugs at
the thrift store in antique shops and so
when it was time to name the company
Janus just came up with the name
naturally
I you know it's funny now because
everybody like how do you spell that
I mean I first of all I don't know how
to snow so I would have I would have
come up with a kind of a like a like a
triple a tiki mugs name or just with the
Google search but it's good I like it so
what some do you have a favorite team
ugh that you've made we've made it's
funny because we had a bar at our last
home we we owned a we owned a like a
large building an old 1930s Ice House in
Alabama and we had like a 800 square
foot TV bar in that place now I don't
all these huge shelves behind the bar
with the aspiration of putting all my
Tiki mug zoom but in the end we could
only put the tiki mugs that we'd already
made of our own okay which was when she
get him up here like oh wow we have
really done a lot of teaching food so I
think there's a few that I'm proud of
for sure
so like we made a Marchesa bar baby
eater for the Hukilau which is a Florida
based event we do we've done a like a
shrunken hand with
Shriners you know there's there's a
number of them so each one is and when
you make art you're fascinated with the
thing you're that you're making right
now
yes and then you're on to the next
living with an artist I know how that is
so um you create custom mugs - are there
any that stand out any custom orders
that were unique or if someone wanted to
order a customer how would they do that
um I think every mug like we're going
right now we're making we have left 5 or
7 mugs in process right now we're doing
everything from I like classic Tiki this
is classic teeth you just kind of like
old-school real command kind of
Polynesian hard right but I Tiki culture
is really based in kitschy culture from
the 30s and 40s and 50s it's really not
from Hawaii everybody's like do you go
to Hawaii get some tiki mugs but the
truth is is that it was really a
mainland deal it was an escapism for us
on the mainland we created these little
worlds and it really it doesn't
necessarily have anything to do with
Polynesian culture per se just kind of
the escapism of the South Pacific and
alcohol and you know the arts of that
kind of see sunspots oh we do we do a
lot of art you just kind of based on
those things Tiki culture is really kind
of coming back it's it's awesome and
unfortunate because now I can't go to
the thrift store and find a teacher no
Lori you know that they're like they're
$5 and I'm like I want it for a dollar
you know but you know it's great for us
because the business is awesome and you
know we go to all these cities and do
all these Tiki events and tiki bars you
know we have
just in the next two months we probably
have five or seven tiki bars that we
have to go to for their for their
anniversaries and we go up and we make
their anniversary months based on
whatever they want we're doing the shark
one and you know all types of things so
super fun
very cool so thank you for filling me in
on Tiki culture because for those of our
viewers that watch the promo this week I
knew absolutely nothing so uh thank you
for filling me in on that um I also came
up with a little game so uh you're big
into tiki drinks and I there are some
that you know people like myself would
confuse as being a tea drink but they're
not necessarily they're more tropical
drinks that maybe you know you just put
the two together and they're not you
know so um the name of the game is Tiki
know Tiki mmm so I'm ki no no I guess I
should say Kiki or no Kiki let me put an
oar in there so I'm going to read off a
list of drinks oh yeah and you have to
tell me
Tiki or no te meaning they were born
Tiki means they were born in a tiki bar
no Tiki obviously is just a tropical
drink local produce free to eat drink go
all right first one you actually
mentioned this earlier so this is gonna
be an easy one for you
zombie the zombie is a classic Beach Don
the Beachcomber Street built originally
made in the 1930s so so Tiki the answers
to the words are D key or note too much
all right painkiller painkiller
absolutely invented but invent in the
Caribbean on Yost Van Dyke okay so
fabulous drink but it's still a classic
on any tea
yes maybe grog
Navy grog Tiki drink for sure absolutely
dark and stormy dark and stormy I must
have which is actually came up as a nun
that's not true it's funny it's kind of
the Moscow Mule of the tea people it is
yeah yeah I agree with that
um pina colada a non tiki drink uh I'm
not a frozen drink drinker you know the
Saturn that we're drinking hmm
originally was a blended drink all right
I get I get brain freeze too easily so
rumrunner another one not necessarily a
tiki drink but I love it because it's a
classic floor to drink but typically
frozen yeah I would agree with you there
new Claude no mai tai my Titan number
one on the list of GD drinks for sure
Sidewinders Feng and now a it is a
cheeky drink they do make a cobras Fang
which is a classic Tiki drink and I
would think a sidewinder thing would be
a take on that I'd say Cobra Fang would
be a tea he drank a night why nerfing
know what do they come up with
it's a Tiki yeah I I don't remember what
it is
exactly yes it's a tikki uh Singapore
sling it's another gin base drink I
drank them and they are on I spent you
know it's funny because tiki bars are
kind of a commingled with Chinese food
restaurants a classic tiki bar will have
Cantonese style food so Singapore sling
on the list for sure as I say no in here
it's an auntie quite well though they're
served at tiki bars it was not born is
that right yeah probably went on cuz
it's gin mm-hmm missionary's downfall I
love that drink for sure yeah that's a
take you drink for sure
it's a min pastry and the last one the
jungle bird name of a bar in Sacramento
brand-new beautiful yeah but not but not
a Tiki you know they call those there's
a couple of names for the because then
the jungle bird and
in Sacramento beautiful place you know
they do have tea keys but it's mostly
floral print and wicker and stuff so you
know they have kind of a name for that
it's like but it's you know it's not a
non-traditional tea right but know how
to take a drink singing I'm not sure all
right you in this round
all right Cheers stitching so we have
one more drink that you're gonna make
it's the most complicated of all of them
it's call the three dots in a Nash all
right let's go do it
all right so the three dots and a dash
I'm gonna have to pull up a couple of
different glasses here all right so the
three dots three dots in the dash is
named after the three dots and the dash
which is a the term for mm-hmm
Morse code for victory after World War
two Oh enjoy it was developed for by Don
the Beachcomber who was really part of
the forefather of tiki drinks trader Vic
the Cointreau came afterwards but on the
starless the person that set up modern
tiki fruit and we developed this drink
during World War two so it has two rums
okay it has an Agricola which is a rum
that's not based on molasses is based on
actual sugar cane syrup molasses is the
byproduct of making sugar from either
sugar cane or from sugar beets or
something like that and they use the
molasses oh and it's all done after
they've taken the sugar crystal out and
then they ferment that and distill that
and make rum but the the fresh sugar
cane makes kind of a this style of okay
and it has a little more kind of a
grassy flavor so we're going to put that
in there we're gonna use one part this
okay
and then we're gonna use a blended rum I
think that I brought will use Appleton
again I like Appleton but you can use
any blended aged blended rum
speaking of blended aged rum I do just
have to say code rum came out with a
delicious new one called I think it's
called Commodores cut I may be mistaken
but anyway I I actually haven't tried it
yet but I'm very excited I hear it's
delicious and it's limited edition so
check it out on their website at the
code rom-com yeah we just got down here
so I'm looking forward to trying all of
the all the local step or two base
drinks yeah awesome I bought I brought a
florida-based look yes now on the three
dots in the couch that's orange juice in
it but sometimes I'll punch it up with a
little orange liqueur as well I think
tonight we'll just use orange and now of
course it has flour of course you know
what of tonight so I'm gonna put a half
a pore of flaring them in this okay and
I brought a an allspice gram but like I
said this is an over proof from with
just allspice berries you can buy them
in any store you put them in there
that's not make spice run there's a
couple of things in an allspice all
spices of berry that is a seed and so
I've made this and I put a little
cinnamon in it I let it steep for about
ten or ten or twelve days and it can be
spicy so you have to be careful I'm
gonna put about a half a pour in this it
really kind of punches up that spicy
flavor Oh sounds good now it has orange
juice and lime juice mm-hmm so I'm gonna
pour orange juice I'm gonna do a full
shot of orange juice
okay now you could like I said if you're
if you're just an alcoholic it could use
a an orange liqueur but I'm gonna use
want to choose tonight for us a lime
juice mm-hmm
and it has a honey syrup you know the
honey syrup is half honey half water
that's all you do okay what I've done
when I've made my DRAM because I only
for this cocktail I've included my half
honey half water as part of this thing
so it just kind of stream awesome I've
already done my honey makes it easy and
then I'm gonna do I'm gonna I'm gonna
stir as they say I smelled this and
component working component of any deal
have any cocktail pour it on and of
course I have a garnish of course so is
it something to do with three dots and
intercourse yeah now I thought
maraschino cherries which some may think
is a faux pas now the three dots are the
cherries
pineapple - and a classic one would have
brandied you know why certainly
and the last but not least the coup de
Gras a little a little bitter so I'm
gonna use an orange bitters on this case
you can go nowadays and buy a bitters in
almost every flavor yes that's true so
and it does and like I said we talked
about a complexity of flavor it really
does add a little bit of a flavor to it
so judging like a like and a - it's a
victory - victory
you can taste that spice in it right mmm
yeah that's really good is on it's one
of those cocktails that you can sip on
you can just sip and savor it really
good
all right so John now is when I take the
reigns of bartending for our test drink
segment and I'm not gonna make any
promises i tiki drinks are not my
specialty um but I'm going to give it a
shot tonight

do a little switch ease with you look

this glass classic at the end I'll just
let you savory to drink there so you're
gonna of course start with your glass of
ice and then we're gonna be using rum

switch out my ice bucket real quick so
that I can put ice up here I always like

tempted to pour it into this it's a very
thick glass so since I'm just making one
