15ml lime juice
30 ml honey syrup (rarher use less)

I love tiki bit most of the time i'm too lazy to make them or haven't all ingredients on hand. I wish lime sized grapefruits and grapefruit sized limes would exist though.

Just make some of those with 3 times the amount of rum.

That drink needs way way more mint leaves. I also use 90 instead of 30 ml rum as the original recipe calls for. I also leave out the sugar as the pineapple ans the liqeur are already sweet enough.

For me it's the Missionary's Downfall with 3 times the amount of rum and less syrup.

I really like the Missionarys Downfall. Although it's a pain in the ass to make and i triple the amount of rum while cutting half of the sweeteners.
In general i prefer the more simple drinks in Trader Vic style. I also recommened starting with Vic's drinks, because they just need the same often easy to get ingredients. Donn's drinks are nice but measuring all those tiny amounts of shit from a dozen bottles suck. Especially small ass amounts of grapefruits while a grapefruit gives you at least 20 times as much juice. Also in the end it just tastes like absinth when you exactly follow his recipes. I guess you need that less pungent fake US absinth to actually recreate his drinks.

>I get why people use the mugs, though, the drinks can look godawful.
It's the same with all classic cocktails. In the end they all come out in some shape of brown.
The most appealing is pic related imo. Especially if you keep in mind that the recipe is more than 80 years old. It would even look good without decoration unlike most other tiki classics. For other colourful drinks only some gimmicky Trader Vic drinks come to mind like that one blood bowl that contains a shit ton of grenadine.

Having some of those with my gf.
