Oil on canvas painting by the artist Anthony Saunders entitled Pearl Harbor, California (BB-44). At dawn on the 7th December 1941, 350 Japanese warplanes flew from their carriers and attacked the US pacific fleet at Pearl harbor, on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. the attack concentrated on "Battleship Row" which included California (Left) and Nevada (BB-36) (Right) which was the only battleship to get underway during the attack. However coming under intense bomb attack she was later beached. For the Japanese the success was not total. as the US carrier fleet was out on manoeuvres on the day of the attack.

 

The Tradewinds (Circa 1974)

Tradewinds is a delicious sweet-tart tropical cocktail that first appeared in the pages of Beachbum Berry Remixed, served as a large communal drink. Re-remixed into the perfectly-balanced single-serve recipe shown below, but you can double or triple up on the ingredients if you’d like to serve it in a big tiki bowl.

Ingrediants:
1 oz. (30 ml) Dark Rum
1 oz. (30 ml) Gold Rum
1 oz. (30 ml) Apricot Liqueur / Brandy
1 oz.*(30 ml) Coco Lopez Coconut Cream
1 oz. (30 ml) fresh lemon juice

Quickly blend all ingredients with a cupful of crushed ice, pulse-blending five or six times so as to break down the ice just a bit. Pour unstrained into a tiki mug or tall glass, and serve with a straw. Lemon wedge speared by a tiny umbrella (turned inside out to give it a windswept appearance) Optional: Grated nutmeg, Pineapple fronds.
NOTE:* Smuggler's Cove use 1.5 oz Coco Lopez coconut cream
Also Bombay Sapphire Gin can be substituted for Rums
