Method
Prepare & Shake
Build the cocktail
Add white rum, banana liqueur, 151-proof rum, blackberry liqueur, passion fruit syrup, orgeat, pineapple juice, orange juice, lime juice, and tiki bitters into a cocktail shaker or Boston shaker half-filled with ice.
Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the exterior of the shaker is frosty and the ingredients are well-chilled and slightly diluted.
Strain & Serve
Fill a large tiki mug or highball glass with crushed ice (about 1 cup). Double-strain the shaken mixture into the glass over the crushed ice to remove small ice chips and any pulp.
Dark rum float
Carefully pour the dark rum (0.25 oz) over the back of a bar spoon held just above the drink surface so it floats on top, creating a dark rum float.
Garnish
Garnish with a pineapple wedge and an orange wheel on the rim, tuck a mint sprig into the crushed ice, and optionally add a fresh or dehydrated blackberry on a cocktail pick.
Serve immediately with a straw and a small stirrer so the drinker can incorporate the float if desired.
