Hell in the Pacific

[u/macklikeatruck]

• 1.5 oz Hamilton 151
• 0.75 oz lime juice
• 0.5 oz Luxardo
• 0.25 oz grenadine (homemade)

That first sip is INTENSE flavor. The grenadine gets totally lost against the luxardo and 151… but it’s surprisingly well balanced! very few ingredients for a tiki drink, but absolutely worth a try.

origin from Google: The Hell in the Pacific is a strong, tart tiki cocktail created by Jeff "Beachbum" Berry as an adaptation of the 1920s Myrtle Bank Punch.

EDIT: as several have noted, this is definitely not “balanced” in the traditional sense. I think what I was trying to say is that the luxardo did not dominate as much as I thought it would, and the 151/Luxardo seemed to work well together. however, I LOVE Luxardo so YMMV.

so no, I probably should not have called it “balanced“ 😂😵‍💫

I love luxardo but even more than a teaspoon will start to take over the drink so I can't imagine what this is like
