Method
Preparation
Gather the Ingredients
Ensure you have all the ingredients measured and ready to use. This includes the white rum, dark rum, orange liqueur, orgeat syrup, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup.
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine the white rum, dark rum, orange liqueur, orgeat syrup, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice.
Shake Well
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to thoroughly mix the ingredients and chill the cocktail.
Strain into Glass
Fill a glass (preferably a tiki mug or a rocks glass) with crushed ice. Strain the mixture from the shaker into the glass over the crushed ice.
Garnish the Drink
Top the cocktail with a float of dark rum by gently pouring it over the back of a spoon onto the drink. Add a mint sprig, lime wheel, and pineapple slice for garnish.
