Hey guys,
We are doing today a Don the Beachcomber classic tiki cocktail called Shark's Tooth. It was on his original menus and competed against the famous "Zombie" drink in ever location Don had but never got the same recognition as the Zombie.
We have a new newsletter out for February with new recipes from past shows, new tiki bar for Mark's Adventures to discuss, new tiki dates for your calendar and a Tiki cocktail book that every home bar should have in Tiki Books review. Plus more!!!!
So the Shark's teeth in the Polynesian region is very spiritual and practical as tools are made with them. Check out other reasons why the drink got its name. It will keep you all wrapped up!!
Recipe: 1 oz Barbados Rum, 1 oz Jamaican rum (now if you purchase Plantation rum you can use this single rum for both as it was produced by both counties), 0.5 oz lime juice, 0.5 pineapple juice, 0.5 simple syrup, 1 tsp of Maraschino Cherry syrup (sweet version) OR 1 tsp of Maraschino Liqueur (strong like Mark likes it), 3 oz crushed ice (yes, I finally got to use my new ice crusher for this...noisy but worth it). You can either blend this or shaken and double strained into a double old-fashioned rocks glass with fresh crushed ice. Garnish with Cherry and a pineapple leaves (yes, I had no cherries when I took the website shot so I used a piece of pineapple...be creative on your garnish).
You will find this in two of Jeff "Beachbum" Berry's books which are "Sippin Safari" and "Remixed" which you can find on our cool link page: https://tikicentralcanada.ca/cool-links/
So some cool facts about sharks such as surfers wear shark's teeth for good luck and believe it prevents shark attacks but there is not scientific facts to back this up. It's more of superstition!!! Also, 1950s a man was attacked in Hawaii by 3 tiger sharks only to have his body parts found inside a shark 3 days later.
On "Did you know?" segment: we talk about cool facts about the movie "Jaws" such as the mechanic shark was called "Bruce" or "Great White Turd" by the crew...listen to find out why!!! Robert Shaw who played Quint was quite the character and the production crew got more than they bargained for by him...found out why!!!!
