Method
Prepare & Combine
Fill shaker
Add crushed or cubed ice to a cocktail shaker until about two-thirds full to chill the drink efficiently.
Measure and pour spirits
Pour 2 oz dark rum, 1 oz light rum, 0.5 oz banana liqueur and 0.5 oz blackberry liqueur into the shaker over the ice.
Add juices and sweeteners
Add 2 oz fresh orange juice, 2 oz pineapple juice, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz grenadine and 0.25 oz simple syrup into the shaker.
Bitters
Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters to the shaker to deepen the flavor and balance sweetness.
Shake vigorously
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the exterior of the shaker feels very cold and diluted slightly (this chills and integrates the juices and liqueurs).
Serve & Garnish
Prepare glass
Fill a highball or hurricane glass with fresh crushed ice or cubed ice to the brim.
Strain
Strain the shaken mixture over the prepared glass filled with ice. Use a fine strainer if you prefer less pulp.
Garnish
Garnish with an orange wheel and a maraschino cherry on a pick. Tuck a mint sprig behind the orange for aroma if desired.
