Method

Cocktail Base

1

Prepare shaker

Fill a large cocktail shaker halfway with large ice cubes (about 2 cups).

2

Combine spirits and juices

Pour 5 oz Wray & Nephew overproof rum, 1 oz light rum, 6 oz fresh pineapple juice, 4 oz fresh orange juice and 1 oz fresh lime juice into the shaker.

3

Add grenadine

Add 1 oz grenadine to the shaker to provide color and sweetness.

4

Shake

Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty and well chilled.

Build & Finish

5

Prepare fishbowl glass

In a large fishbowl-style glass (or large punch bowl and individual glasses), add 2 cups of crushed ice to the bottom and a few large ice cubes to the main bowl. Reserve remaining ice for topping.

6

Strain and top

Strain the shaken cocktail into the fishbowl over the ice. Top with 6 oz club soda (or lemon-lime soda for sweeter result) and gently stir twice to combine. Add 4 dashes of Angostura bitters across the top if using to cut sweetness.

7

Adjust sweetness

Taste and adjust: add up to 0.5 oz additional grenadine if you prefer sweeter, or a splash more lime juice if you want brighter acidity.

Garnish & Serve

8

Candy and fruit garnish

Arrange 4 cocktail cherries and 2 pineapple wedges on the rim or on cocktail picks. Thread assorted candy (about 6 pieces total — e.g., gummy fish, sour belts, candy necklace) onto skewers or drape around the rim and press a rock candy stick into the bowl for a playful stirrer.

9

Final touches

Top with remaining ice so the bowl is cold and slightly domed. Insert straws (long bendy straws work well) and serve immediately with a small ladle if sharing from a punch bowl. Warn guests that overproof rum is strong and to sip responsibly.
