Method
Cocktail
Combine & Shake
Add light rum, banana liqueur, blackberry liqueur, fresh lime juice, orange juice, pineapple juice, grenadine and ice into a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker to about three-quarters full with ice so ingredients chill properly.
Shake
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels cold and slightly frosted. This properly dilutes and chills the drink.
Float Dark Rum
Carefully pour the dark rum over the back of a bar spoon held just above the drink's surface so it floats as a dark layer on top. This gives the classic Rum Runner visual and a flavor contrast.
Garnish & Serve
Garnish the rim of the glass with the pineapple wedge, orange slice and maraschino cherry on a cocktail pick. Optionally run a piece of citrus peel over the top for added aroma.
Serve with a straw and a small stirring stick so the guest can mix the float in if they like. Recommend enjoying immediately while cold.
