Andrea's coworkers had scheduled a happy hour two Thursdays ago, and she dressed up in a festive pineapple dress. To match her attire, I made her a 2011 recipe from Colonel Tiki (aka Craig Herman) that he created in honor of the opening of the Portland Trader Vic's and that he recently reposted on his Facebook feed. A quick search confirmed that Glisan is the street name of that Trader Vic's establishment around the corner from the Teardrop Lounge. Once built, the Glisan Grog unfurled with a mint and woody spice nose. Next, lime and caramel on the sip spun into funky rum, vanilla, and coffee flavors on the swallow with an anise and chocolate finish.
