Rather him than me!!!
Tell me if I'm mistaken Mark, but the fabled Tropicoma recipe comes from Aussie does it not? Frankly if they have to confront things like this in their daily lives I'm not surprised they've come up with the most potent drink known to mankind!
Trpoicoma was in fact invented on Maison Blanche in June 2004 by Cocktail (Brit now living in Brisbane) and myself. It took hours of mixing and testing to find the right ingredients and proportions, which took most of Saturday afternoon. This could perhaps be why the rest of Saturday and most of Sunday are just a blur!
