    Hmm, I see a batched recipe here that doesn’t look too crazy, they put guava in it too, that is very Tampa, lol. I don’t think I approve of using white/light rum but otherwise this might work. Campari is polarizing but in small amounts it just tightens up the taste, it’s a good adjuster-of-things. I don’t think I could milk clarify without pissing off the vegans, drinks are one thing they don’t expect to have to worry about.

      That looks pretty good. I’ve always seen it made with some variety or combination of aged rum, usually demerara. My personal favorite for this (and most tiki drinks) is Hamilton Jamaican Black Rum. Using white rum might be the right call for serving it with dinner.

      I think you could turn just about any Jungle Bird recipe into a decent batch cocktail. Most of the ingredients are pretty stable. The juices would go off first, but not likely over the course of a few days. If you need them to sit for more than a week, then you probably want to look at something with spirits only.

        Ah they have decided to go with the whole roast pig instead, that will be easier to accompany. Still going to personally make a batch of tofu in an adobo sauce for the vegetarians, though.
