Gooney Goo-Goo Recipe

Recipe By Cocktail Party

The gooney goo-goo is a wickedly delicious tiki drink with an unusual ingredient list, from bartender brad farran at brooklyns storied clover club. Farran serves his with a nice touch: he scoops out half of a lime, flips it inside-out, and uses it to hold the overproof rum so he can set it on fire and grate cinnamon over the top. Classy, but when we tried it in our too-small tiki mugs, the lime got stuck and we choked on a faceful of hot 151. These days, we prefer to simply float the overproof rum on top, which makes for a much smoother first sip. In an earlier version of this recipe text, we mentioned that we didnt know where the name gooney goo-goo came from. A helpful user emailed us (thanks, c. L. ) and reminded us of the origin its from a hilarious story in eddie murphys 1983 stand-up special delirious. Well worth a rewatch if, like us, you havent seen it in a while
