For those that care, I survived Hurricane Harvey.
Moving on. My understanding is this is pronounced 'Tee'. I'll be surprised if that's incorrect but its happened before.
I made this drink for the first time Friday night after finding a bottle of La Favorite at Specs Downtown. I erred in that the lime I picked out was way too dry so it didn't juice hardly at all. My first sip was toe curling. La Favorite is different. I finished the drink but decided to give it a better try in a few days. So last night, after perusing through my lime stack and finding the most juicy one, I re-pulled the trigger. Much much better. In fact quite delicious. The La Favorite is different to say the least, but once you get used to it, it's very good.
Something to note, the book actually lists this recipe twice and slightly different each time. The difference is how the describe the lime. Throughout the book there are what I call 'Loyal Customer Profiles' which describe some of the bars most long-standing and dedicated attendees and what they like to drink, etc. One of these profiles covers the Ti Punch. It lists the use of the lime as you see above, 1/2 Lime, which matches the instructions of talking half a lime and muddling it in the glass. Back in the Recipes chapters, where I spend the majority of my perusing, the Ti Punch is listed as using 1/2 ounce Lime Juice. This would normally lead me to believe to juice the lime into the glass and discard the shell. But I went with the former usage as I think that's correct. Rant over.
