Happy New Year 2024 - Tumblr Posts
2024 will be a year of wellness. I'm calling it.
I don't need a miracle or vast amounts of luck, just a simple happy year.
2024 will be a time to cleanse all of the muck, the crap that's dragged everyone down will be lifted, this new year spirits will be shifted.
Hauʻoli Makahiki Hou!
Well,we made it through 2023,now we have to deal with 2024. It's going to be an election year,so here's some recipes to help you deal.
Mix #113 Three Dots and a Dash
1.5oz agricole rhum 1/2oz gold rum 1/2oz honey syrup* 1/2oz lime juice 1/2oz orange juice 1/4oz velvet falernum 1/4oz allspice dram 1 dash Angostura bitters
Shake or flash blend with ice. Pour into mug and top with three cherries and a pineapple chunk speared on toothpick.
*Some versions use vanilla syrup.
The signature drink of Chicago's Three Dots and a Dash Tiki bar,the name is from Morse Code(stop trying to call it gmail-tap!) for the letter V. It was created by Donn the Beachcomber to celebrate the victory of the allies in Europe during World War II. It's a nice blend of sweet and citrus,with either a honey or vanilla finish.
Mix #114 The Ancient Mariner
1oz Demerara rum 1oz blackstrap rum 3/4oz lime juice 1/2oz grapefruit juice 1/2oz Demerara syrup 1/4oz allspice dram
Shake with plenty of ice.
Another Beachbum Berry creation,it was so named because his team felt so old after going through the process of getting it just right. It's a super funky drink with a spice finish. If you don't have blackstrap rum,you can just use a funky Jamaican rum. It won't have as much funk,but will still taste good.
Mix #115 Battle Stations
2oz rye whiskey* 3/4oz orange curacao 1/2oz velvet falernum 1/2oz grapefruit juice 1/2oz lime juice 1/2oz orgeat
Shake with ice and strain into glass with fresh ice.
*I used bourbon.
Created by Trader Brandon,and featured in his book,Mystic Libations,this was sent to me by a friend who saw it in his social media feed and wanted to know what I thought of it. Well,I'm not a whiskey/bourbon guy,but I knew I'd be bartending at the annual shop Xmas party,so I filed it away. I made a pair of these for my friend who doesn't like rum(I made him Honi Honi's last year) and he said they were delicious. So if you're looking for a non-rum Tiki drink,give this a try.
Mix #116 Buccaneer's Bounty
1oz Navy rum 1oz dark rum 1/2oz Demerara 151 rum 1oz honey syrup 3/4oz grapefruit juice 3/4oz lime juice 1/2oz cinnamon syrup 2 dashes bitters
Shake with ice and strain into glass with fresh ice.
Another recipe from Mystic Libations(sadly sold out),this is a riff on the classic Navy Grog with cinnamon syrup. Sweet and cinnamon-y with a honey finish. And quite strong.
Mix #117 Black Voodoo
2oz Demerara rum 2.4oz apple cider 3/4oz sweet vermouth 1/2oz lime juice 1/4oz Demerara syrup
Shake with plenty of ice and pour into skull themed mug.
My riff on the Voodoo. It's sweet and funky. I like to use Pusser's Gunpowder rum to give it some kick.
Mix #118 Hamilton Dry Float
3/4oz Hamilton Demerara 86 1/2oz Hamilton 151 3/4oz lime juice 3/4oz simple syrup* 1tsp passionfruit puree*
Shake everything except 151 with ice,strain into coupe glass,float 151 on top.
*I used Demerara simple and passionfruit syrup.
Not to be confused with the traditional dry float,this is Hamilton's riff using their rums. It has funk on the nose with a nice sweet/sour mix,and the 151 adds some kick. Quite good.
Mix #119 Chief Lapu Lapu
1.5oz dark Jamaican rum 1.5oz white rum 3oz orange juice 1oz lime juice 1oz lemon juice 1oz passionfruit syrup 1oz simple syrup
Shake with plenty of ice and pour into glass.
This drink was a standard at many Tiki bars back in the day. There were many variations,but Beachbum Berry published this one in his book Remixed!. The name comes from the Datu(chief) who took out Magellan. You can read all about it here. Pretty much a tourist drink,very sweet and strong. Of course,I'm one to talk(see my Corsair Punch below),so if you like sweet and strong have at it.
Mix #120 Lapu Lapu
1oz light rum 1oz dark rum 2oz orange juice 1oz lemon juice 1oz passionfruit syrup 3/4oz vanilla syrup
Shake with plenty of ice and pour into glass.
BG Reynolds' more refined riff on the Chief Lapu Lapu. Sweet and vanilla-y,but not as sweet as the Chief. Also not as strong.
Mix #121 Quarantine Order
1.5oz aged dark Jamaican rum 1.5oz Navy strength Jamaican rum 1oz lime juice 1oz grapefruit juice 1/2oz passionfruit syrup 1/2oz cinnamon syrup 5 dashes Angostura bitters
Blend or shake with ice and pour into glass.
From Pagan Idol's William Prestwood,I believe this was intended to help cope with the fun that was 2020. Should work just as well for 2024. Sweet and fruity with a nice cinnamon burn at the end. Has a nice kick too.
Mix #122 Stack O Gold
2oz Puerto Rican gold rum 1oz Grand Mariner 3oz pineapple juice 1/2oz lemon juice 1/2oz orgeat
Shake with ice and pour into mug.
While many mugs come with recipe cards,Home Aloha's Stack-O-Gold mug came with a nifty tin with this recipe on it. Very pineapple-y and easy drinking. Would make a nice summer BBQ drink.
Mix #123 Tabu Kapu
2oz Demerara rum 1.5oz grenadine 1oz lime juice 1oz grapefruit juice 1oz orange juice 1/4oz Aperol 1 dash Angostura bitters
Shake with ice and pour into mug.
From the back of BG Reynolds' Lush Grenadine bottle comes a very grenadine flavored drink. But it's not too sweet due to the citrus and Aperol. Very nicely balanced.
Mix #124 Tortuga
1oz Demerara 151 rum 1oz gold rum 1oz sweet vermouth 1/2oz orange curacao 1/2oz white creme de cacao 1/2oz lime juice 1/2oz lemon juice 1/2oz orange juice 1/4oz grenadine
Shake with plenty of ice and pour into classic style Tiki mug.
An original Trader Vic creation,his granddaughter Eve chose this as the drink for Sven Kirsten's Modernist Tiki mug and accompanying book from his Tiki Portraits series. This recipe is the version from Beachbum Berry's Potions of the Caribbean,which is a bit more specific when it comes to the measurements of the ingredients. It has chocolate and vermouth on the nose with a citrus-y body and a bit of a tart aftertaste. A nice,complex cocktail.
So don't sweat the new year. After a couple cocktails,it'll be alright.

Happy New Year 2024: A Fresh Start for a Bright Future

As the clock strikes midnight and fireworks illuminate the night sky, we bid farewell to another year and welcome the dawn of a brand-new chapter in our lives. Happy New Year, everyone! January 1st, 2024 marks the beginning of not only a new year but also an opportunity for fresh beginnings, personal growth, and endless possibilities.
The transition from one year to another is always accompanied by a sense of excitement and anticipation. It's like turning the page in a book, eager to discover what lies ahead. And as we embark on this journey into 2024, it's important to reflect on the lessons learned, celebrate our achievements, and set goals for the future.
Looking back at the challenges we faced in the previous year, it's remarkable how resilient and adaptable we have become. From navigating global crises to adapting to remote work environments, we have proven time and again that together we can overcome any obstacle. The collective strength and determination displayed by communities worldwide serve as a reminder that even in times of adversity, hope prevails.
Entering 2024 with optimism sets the stage for personal growth and self-improvement. It's an opportunity to evaluate our priorities and realign ourselves with what truly matters. Whether it's focusing on physical well-being, nurturing relationships, or pursuing long-awaited dreams – let this be the year where we prioritize self-care and make conscious efforts towards achieving our aspirations.
Moreover, let us not forget about spreading kindness and compassion throughout this new year. In a world often filled with division and strife, acts of goodness go a long way towards creating positive change. Reach out to your loved ones more frequently; lend a helping hand to those in need; embrace diversity and encourage inclusivity – these simple gestures can shape a brighter future for all.
In addition to personal growth, setting realistic goals can guide us towards success. Whether it's landing that dream job, travelling to a new destination, or learning a new skill – let these goals act as stepping stones towards personal fulfillment. Remember, the journey is just as important as the destination. Embrace every step along the way and celebrate progress, no matter how small.
As we embark on this new year, let us also take a moment to appreciate the beauty of life itself. Cherish sunsets, laughter-filled gatherings with friends and family, and moments of solitude where you find solace in your own company. Life is a precious gift, and it's up to us to make the most of each passing day.
So here's to 2024 – a year filled with hope, growth, and endless possibilities. Let us enter this chapter of our lives with open hearts and minds, ready to seize opportunities and create positive change both within ourselves and in the world around us.
From Tumblr: Harmony Healing Hub and Etsy: Flower Therapy Healer, I wish you a Happy New Year! May this be the beginning of an incredible journey towards self-discovery, love, and joy. Cheers to a bright future ahead!
2024 - The Year of the Dragon: A Majestic Journey Begins Shaina Tranquilino January 4, 2024
In Chinese culture, each year is associated with a zodiac animal, which is believed to have certain qualities and characteristics that influence the events and lives of people born in that year.
