Two Thursdays, I was inspired by my bottle of Pedro Ximenez sherry to craft a Tiki drink. I decided on the Jet Pilot as a recipe skeleton and utilized the sherry and Don's Spices #2 (vanilla and allspice) for the original's falernum and cinnamon. Moreover, the sherry component gave me the idea to split the base spirit with brandy. Given its inkiness, I named this one the Giant Squid Attack. In the mug, the drink conjured a woody spice and raisin nose. Next, grape, lime, and grapefruit notes swam through the sip, and the swallow grabbed on to the palate with dark rum, Cognac, raisin, allspice, and vanilla flavors.
