It was a beautiful attempt to recreate Polynesia in Ohio, and the interior was exotic with waterfalls and fish swimming along the walls. I always said that if they turned up the always dim lights (to make it feel like a rain forest) it would probably look pretty tacky. Nonetheless, the Port Light was my favorite drink, and I always ordered it after first discovering it. But I ever after wondered what was in it. Thanks again for sharing its secret.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09345198304346828268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462121554175947733.post-74159936573764426102012-11-13T12:48:40.278-08:002012-11-13T12:48:40.278-08:00Jordan, have you come across this grenadine:

It's pretty intense stuff, hence why I kept it down to 1/4 oz.<br /><br />Weller is definitely tasty stuff. I think I made this one with Bulleit, which also worked well. But I think you're right that it'll be good no matter what you use.Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06448702693643593156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462121554175947733.post-68738718638694487122012-10-28T17:25:57.139-07:002012-10-28T17:25:57.139-07:00As a bourbon guy who also likes tiki drinks, this ...As a bourbon guy who also likes tiki drinks, this is a real winner. The grenadine should be upped to 1/2 oz to better balance the drink. And the color in the picture is much redder than what I ended up mixing. I used <br />Weller 107 but I can't imagine this missing whatever bourbon you choose.<br /><br />Thanks for the drink and the website. I'm having a great time working through your rum drinks.<br /><br />-Mikescratchlinenoreply@blogger.com
