Equipment
- cocktail shaker
- Tall cocktail glass or tiki glass
Ingredients
- 1½ ounces golden rum
- 1 ounce white rum
- 1 ounce pineapple juice
- 1 ounce fresh lime juice
- 1 ounce Passion fruit syrup
- ½ ounce grenadine
- 1 dash Angostura bitters
- ½ ounce 151-proof rum
- Mint leaves, maraschino cherry, or orange slice, for garnish
Instructions
- Combine the white rum, golden rum, pineapple juice, lime juice, passion fruit syrup, grenadine, and bitters in a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice.
- Shake until the outside of the shaker is frosty, about 30 seconds. Strain into a tall glass or tiki glass filled with ice.
- Float the 151-proof rum onto the cocktail by slowly pouring it into the glass over the back of a spoon. Garnish with mint, a cherry, or orange slice, as desired.
Notes
- Use good rum! I like to use a Jamaican white rum, Puerto Rican gold rum, and an overproof rum like 151-proof or demerara (made from molasses).
- Use orange juice. Instead of pineapple juice, you can use orange juice for a more citrusy drink.
- Don’t skip the bitters! Even though you only need a small amount, Angostura bitters add depth and complexity to the drink. You can substitute them with cinnamon syrup if you can't find bitters.
