For the penultimate night of Tiki the Snow Away month two Tuesdays ago, I began flipping through Beachbum Berry's Remixed for ideas that I have not tried yet. There, I honed in on Jeff Berry's 2002 tribute to Sven "Sven-Tiki" Kirsten who authored the 2000 The Book of Tiki and later a few other Tiki-themed books. Berry's combination reminded me of a Shrunken Skull with orange and pineapple juices in the mix, so I figured it would be a delightful tropical number. Once prepared, the Sven-Tiki offered a citrus, berry, and rum funk bouquet to the nose. Next, dark caramel, lime, and berry notes on the sip gave way to dark rum, orange, and pineapple flavors on the swallow.

Tonight was the rare occasion when I had both pineapple and orange juices on-hand so I went looking for possibles.
The Sven-tiki got the nod, despite having a sweeter profile. It is definately a sweet drink, but with its sweetness coming mainly from juices, its not too cloying.
All-in-all, it was refreshing, but to my taste, a bit unbalanced on the sweet side.
