Any tiki cocktail recipes you would recommend? I had a Horchata Colada at a bar which was the best thing ever but I haven't been able to replicate it.

I recommend a barley-almond orgeat syrup - basically simmer barley and almonds in sugar water for an hour or two, blend, cool, strain into a bottle or jar... I also highly recommend putting a little nuggy, dollop of budder, or a few drops of a tincture in there, as long as you label it clearly, and use responsibly.

I recommend this, because (green) mai tais will press the stress right out of you.

>2 shots rum, ideally something with a touch of age, and a good hint of molasses/sugarcane to it
>1/2 to 1 shot orange curacao (I use blue for the green mai tais... same same, just different colour. Any orange liqueur will work in a pinch)
>1/2 to 1 shot orgeat
>juice of half a lime, or two key limes.

Shake, layer, build in the glass, it's good no matter how you do it.

jungle bird is my all time favorite
can't go wrong with a mai tai, this guy has the right idea >>19344062 though I think a full shot of orgeat is overkill
a single serving scorpion is nice with a float of overproof rum

It depends on the orgeat. I usually do a double of rum (one single aged, one overproof), half of the green orgeat, and float a half of curacao, but I figured I'd write out a sweeter recipe that would hide any sins, or the Appleton's funk.

Yes to both the Scorpion and Junglebird (yes to Campari in general). Also yes to a Corpse Reviver (#2 if I had to pick one).

corpse reviver two is another fave
I never thought of it as a tiki drink but I couldn't tell you why

It's definitely an outlier, but I've just come to not trust any place that does tropical drinks and doesn't make a good corpse reviver... usually means that the Singapore Sling's got sweet and sour mix in it.

For me it's the name. Drinks like the Corpse Reviver and Zombie scream VooDoo, not tiki.

30 ml whire rum (rather douple or triple the amount)
15 ml peach brandy
15ml lime juice
30 ml honey syrup (rarher use less)
60 ml diced pineapple
60 ml tightly packed mint leaves
150 ml crushed ice
Throw in a blender and blend until it's smooth. If you can't get peach brandy but only peach liqueur use less honey syrup.

Chambord Kamikaze:

1⁄4 lime wedge
1 1⁄2 ounces Chambord raspberry liquor
1⁄2 ounce Absolut kurant vodka
1⁄2 ounce triple sec
1⁄4 ounce rose's sweetened lime juice

Muddle it, shake it, serve it up or on rocks. This is Michael Jordan's favorite drink - a buddy of mine served him a bunch of these at a sports bar in Birmingham, Alabama back in the mid 90s. Jordan game in with a bunch of minor league baseball dudes he was playing with, racked up a huge bill into the thousands, had the whole thing comped by the restaurant... and didn't tip

Caribbean v. Polynesia?
The Voodoo is Don the Beachcomber's drink. It's certifiably tiki. The Corpse Revivers predate Don the Beachcomber and Trader Vic by quite a bit, but they're all meant to be hair of the dog that bit you. If you're on a beachside bender, and you're not having rum, citrus, and some sort of herbal wine or liqueur (ideally kina) with your hangover brunch... you might not be doing it wrong per se, but you'll never be a famous author of zeitgeist-altering text.
