I work at a speakeasy/neighborhood/craft cocktail bar in San Antonio, TX called The Green Lantern. I had been trying to get Mr. Black for a while, and finally some showed up! After messing around with multiple classics, I watched your “tiki cocktails with coffee!” video and the wheels started turning! The “G’Day Mate” was the final product, and I’m very pleased with it! My girlfriend helped come up with the name, but we figured the Australian expression is appropriate due to Mr. Black’s origins, you would also say that in the morning when you’re enjoying coffee, and anybody having a tiki cocktail during the day is, in fact, having a good day. Hope you enjoy!
