Voyager Cocktail
By Robert Hess
This represents my entry into the classic Tiki cocktail arena. Since those Polynesian inspired restaurants were intended as a mini-vacation, I felt the name "Voyager" worked really well... or perhaps it's because I'm a big Star Trek fan... either way, it's a great drink.
Recipe
Ingredients
2 oz gold rum
1/2 oz lime juice
1/2 oz Benedictine
1/2 oz falernum
2 dashes Angostura Aromatic Bitters

“White Russian” Episode Please!!!
This looks like a pretty good cocktail. I’ll have to try it out once I pick up some Benedictine.
And since we’re making requests, I’d like to see you tackle the Navy Grog in a future show.
Excellent! looking drink! As soon as my Falernum arrives from Kegworks I will be trying one of these.
Thanks Robert for all of your advice and information.
I loved this drink, but I tweaked it by using half gold rum and half dark. I really liked the extra flavor from the Gosling’s.
Respect to the Trek!
Nice touch with the NASA shot glass used to measure the lime juice :-)
Sipping on this one right now and it really is excellent. It’s certainly a tiki drink but with a nice little surprise from the Benedictine, which adds an interesting herbal note. Ah, I love tiki drinks in the winter. Next I’ll be whipping up the Jolly Roger.
Of course, it isn’t winter quite yet. Perhaps the rum has gone to my head.
