Mr. Bali Hai - a Tiki Drink with Rum, Coffee Liqueur & Pineapple

Nice one! and Yay more Tiki stuff love the Mug mate

iam going to make my firends and myself a mai tai,...amd enjoy the weekend...cheers mate thanks for all the awsome recipes :)

Love this build. kind of a stripped down version of the Black Magic which while delicious, is a bear to execute outside of a tiki bar. Thanks

Great stuff! I was just about to make a ''To Hell with Spain'' but then after seeing this pop up I just had to make it instead. While you said to use a Dark Jamaican Rum, you used Denizen's blend of Jamaican and Martinique, any specific reason behind this or is it just what you had on hand?

Also, got any recomendations for Dark Jamaican rums? I've been looking for Hamilton Jamaica Black but can't find it anywhere. Denizen is getting hard to come by now too and I'm starting to look around for a substitute for the Tiki drinks.

Just made it. Finally a good excuse to use my coffee liqueur! Delicious! Cheers!

It's getting harder and harder to not spend all my money on tiki mugs

Badass drink. Sipping this right now on my patio. Perfect for July.

Wasn't sure about pineapple juice and coffee liquor but it works. Thanks for the recipe! Added to my arsenal

Love the mug, man. Kind of freaky how it looks at you while you drink. Pairs well with the music too.

ANOTHER AMAZING HIT! Bravo good sir. The Mighty Woo would put down his orange crush for this belly buster!

I have to have one of those Tiki mugs, that is one of the coolest ones I have ever seen.

I enjoyed the video. Well done. As usual. I've enjoyed the drink previously, and do love that coffee + pineapple combo.

Lastly, got link to fancy straws?

Great vid per usual

Currently on my third :) thanks for the introduction. I ended up just using 2.5oz of aged rum and honey instead of simple syrup... turned out great.

To be fair you should probably state that pineapple juice from a carton works just fine

I just tried it and it was fabulous ! I highly recommend it :)

I just tried this yesterday and it is probably the best tiki drink I've tried. I am not normally happy with too sweet drinks but the coffee made it bitter enough for my liking.
Do you ever use strawberries in your drinks? I feel like something like a strawberry puree (syrup) would be really nice to add to drinks like the one

what if you dont have a tiki mug?.....would a collins work?

I have coffee liquor and white rum right now lol

Any chance you will do some more coffee + pineapple drinks?

I can't get a hold of denizen where I live, can you recommend another good light rum?

I am so envious of your tiki mugs. All of which are impossible to get ahold of :/

your videos are all amazing. very well-backed with theory and history, great video/audio quality, and cool presentation of cocktails!! thank you so much! i have many of these recipes in my back pocket now

As always, great entertainment, informative and spot on in taste. Just made my first Mr. Bali Hai and I must admit, it's a tasty one.

This drink is amazing thank you for this!

Excellent!

I finally tried this one and I have to admit that I really enjoyed it...2 times.  I didn't have coffee liqueur so I made a quick coffee syrup with a hint of cinnamon, added in a little extra demerara rum to it and off we went.The coffee flavor goes well with the pineapple and since there is coffee in it I justified it to my wife that you could drink it before noon like a mimosa or bloody mary...or Corpse Reviver...or Ti Punch "Decollage".She laughed (because it is Father's Day) and said I was a psychopath.

Just picked up Nola Coffee Liqueur on End of Bin sale at Binnys.....
Immediately made a Mr.Bali Hai after cutting the lawn today.

I didn't realize i was such a peice of shit until i realized i was too late til get that mug.

Just made it, so unique. I used NOLA coffee liqueur and cinnamon syrup and the result...3 drinks later was awesome.

Sipping this right now in my newest tiki mug. Got myself a real nice collection in the last couple of years. Cheers

Seriously OMFG 😮👍🏼🥃💪🏼 Awesome thank you so much for this drink recipe. 😊

Bali Hai is a great place at shelter Island San Diego. We had my Daughters wedding there. Excellent time! You can’t miss the Goof!

Great video

Just for fun, I'm making a small batch of coffee liqueur. I wanted to make this but didn't want to use any of my "good" rum. So I ran out and got some coruba dark, which I've never had. And Don Q Cristal. If anything they can go in my Halloween Zombies. But do you think the Coruba will work here? It smells better than I thought it would for the price but as I've not yet tasted it I'm not sure of it's hogo.

I used Kahlua Especial (75 proof version). If you do use Kahlua - I recommend dropping that coffee liqueur to 0.5 oz. I used black seal and a 3 year light for the other components.

We have a really lousy selection of Jamaican rum here in Canada. Right now, I don't have any Jamaican rum in the house, but I do have this Plantation rum from Fiji, which to my surprise is full of Jamaican funk. So I thought I'd improvise, and try a 3 rum base using Patron Cafe for the liqueur, which I'm currently enjoying as I type this. Normally, I make these using Appleton Special Reserve, white Bacardi, and Kahlua, and they're pretty good, but the one I'm having now is just soooo much better:
1.5 oz Fiji Plantation rum (funk)
0.5 oz Goslings Black Seal (dark)
0.5 oz white Bacardi (because)
0.75 oz Patron Cafe (warning: the dark coffee flavour of this is much more powerful than Kahlua, so cut it back if you don't want a strong coffee note with lingering aftertaste)
0.75 oz Lemon (Personal preference. Stick to a whole ounce if that's what you like)
0.5 oz simple syrup
1.5 oz pineapple

I might try skipping the Bacardi altogether with the next one, and use a full ounce of Goslings instead. The Patron Cafe could easily be cut back to 0.5 oz, but I like the boldness the way it is. It starts with the tang of fruit, quickly develops into dark coffee, and leaves a coffee aftertaste. Perhaps similar if one replaced the simple syrup with more Kahlua in search of a stronger coffee note.

Dog Catcher joke was top drawer. Only on DS do you get this level of comedic relief. I needed it with that intense music! Drink is fantastic. Thanks for the vid.

Crazy,..for me is that,..when u add malibu or so,..the bahama mama
To everyone out there,try this recipe: 4cl myers rum,2cl kahlua,2 cl malibu or mahiki,1 cl overproof rum,8cl pineapple juice and 4 cl lemon juice,..AND ON THE TOP SOME DASHES PIMENTO DRAM,..prefer self made,..then u have really flavored spicy tiki drink,..thaats awesome tasty

Great job! I agree that pineapple and coffee aren't an obvious combo, but they work so well together!

Love the mugs!

This channel should have way more traction. You do a great job.
