Method
Cocktail
Shake base
Add white rum, 0.25 oz overproof rum, 0.75 oz blue curaçao, fresh lime juice, pineapple juice, falernum, orgeat, simple syrup, and Angostura bitters into a cocktail shaker filled halfway with ice.
Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker is chilled and slightly frosty.
Fill a large tiki mug or double old-fashioned glass with crushed ice (about 1 cup).
Double-strain the shaken mixture over the crushed ice, allowing the cocktail to settle into the glass.
Float (Blue Whale Effect)
Gently layer 0.25 oz blue curaçao over the back of a bar spoon onto the top of the drink so the vivid blue forms a thin layer or gradient near the surface.
Carefully pour the remaining 0.25 oz overproof rum as a small top float. If you want a dramatic flame, you may ignite the overproof rum briefly — only if you and your environment are safe and experienced with flaming cocktails. Extinguish before drinking.
Garnish & Whale
Skewer the pineapple wedge, lime wheel and luxardo cherry onto the plastic whale or a cocktail pick so the whale appears to be carrying the fruit. Place the whale garnish perched on the rim or floating gently on top of the crushed ice.
Tuck a mint sprig beside the whale for aroma. Optionally grate a pinch of nutmeg over the top for warm spice aroma.
