Ingredients
Base Spirits & Mixers
Garnish & Finish
Prepare & Mix
1. Chill glass
Place a highball or tiki-style glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes, or fill it with ice water while preparing the cocktail to chill.
2. Combine ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine the light rum, fresh lime juice, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, orange curaçao, pineapple juice, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters. Add a handful of ice (enough to fill the shaker about halfway).
Serve & Finish
4. Prepare glass
Discard the ice water from the chilled glass (if used) and add about 3/4 cup crushed ice to the glass.
5. Strain
Double-strain the shaken cocktail into the glass over the crushed ice using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove any small ice shards and pulp.
6. Float dark rum
Gently pour the 1/4 oz dark rum over the back of a bar spoon so it floats on top of the drink, creating a layered look and deeper rum aroma.
7. Add bitters
Top with 2 additional dashes of Angostura bitters, letting them settle on the foam/ice for aroma and visual contrast.
8. Garnish
Garnish with a sprig of mint (slap the mint between your palms to release the oils), a lime wheel or wedge, and an optional pineapple wedge on the rim.
9. Serve
Serve immediately with a short straw and enjoy.
