[...] Craig’s Baron von Tiki [...]

The secret really is the sugar content of the Bärenjäger ( a full oz!) that cuts the fire and institutional flavor in the Stroh. When I say ’sip’ in the above, in reality I pour about 1/4 oz and ’sip’ by bringing the liquid to my closed lips and letting a smidgen of a dram in. The warmth of the mouth almost immediately vaporizes most of it. I follow this with a Coca-Cola chaser: The clove and the spice of the coca-cola are heavily pronounced, and the sugar content cuts like the Bärenjäger. You’re left with the trademark butterscotch finish of the Stroh without any of the more volatile flavours you’ve come to expect from Stroh.

It is after all, a cooking rum namely - so silk purse, sow’s ear and all that. Doesn’t mean it’s completely useless, though.

[...] Me, I’m fond of both, but considering our host and the eager participation of Blair and Craig, I was sure tiki would be well represented for this round. Just to be a contrarian, I’m [...]

Keith over at moving at the speed of life uses stroh as well in his holy Hand Grenade of Antioch recipe.

I thought that bar looked familiar!

It looks delicious, Cute. I hadn’t thought of using Stroh in a mixed drink (it’s caramelly goodness is so wonderful alone) - how narrow minded of me! Thanks!
