Cocktail

Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Combine and shake

    Add the light rum, dark rum, fresh lime juice, pineapple juice, orange curaçao, falernum, simple syrup, and Angostura bitters into a shaker tin. Add a generous scoop of cracked ice to the shaker.

  2. 2

    Shake vigorously

    Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty and well chilled.

  3. 3

    Prepare glass

    Fill a highball or Collins glass with crushed or more cracked ice (about 3/4 full).

  4. 4

    Strain

    Double-strain the contents of the shaker into the prepared glass over the ice to remove small ice shards and any pulp.

  5. 5

    Top and finish

    Give the drink a gentle stir to integrate. If desired, add a few more dashes of Angostura bitters on top for aroma.

Garnish

  1. 6

    Thread the lime wheel and dehydrated pineapple (or pineapple wedge) onto a cocktail pick and rest it across the rim of the glass. Slap the mint between your palms to release aroma and tuck the sprig into the garnish or into the ice near the rim.

  2. 7

    Serve immediately with a short straw. Enjoy responsibly.
