Method
Cocktail
Prepare glass
Chill a Collins glass or large rocks glass by filling it with ice water while you assemble ingredients. After a minute, discard the ice water and add about 1 cup of crushed ice to the glass (reserve one large cube if using).
Build the base
In a cocktail shaker (no need to dry shake), add 2 oz light rum, 3 oz fresh pineapple juice, 1 oz fresh orange juice, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, 0.25 oz simple syrup and 2 dashes Angostura bitters. Add a handful of ice to the shaker (about 4-6 small cubes).
Shake
Shake vigorously for 12-15 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted (shaker becomes cold to the touch).
Float dark rum
Gently pour 0.25 oz dark rum over the back of a spoon at the surface of the drink to create a thin, dark float on top. This adds aroma and visual contrast.
Final touches
If you removed the large ice cube earlier, add it now so the drink has a mix of crushed ice and a large cube (this slows dilution). Garnish with a pineapple wedge and a maraschino cherry on a pick; optionally add an orange wheel on the rim.
Serve
Serve immediately with a straw placed off to the side so the guest can experience the layered colors before stirring. Recommend stirring gently before drinking to combine flavors.
