Method
Cocktail
- 1
Build and shake
Fill a cocktail shaker with crushed ice or ice cubes. Pour in 2 oz Sailor Jerry spiced rum, 1 oz coconut rum, 0.5 oz blackberry brandy, 2 oz pineapple juice, 1.5 oz orange juice, 1 oz cranberry juice, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice and 0.25 oz simple syrup. Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters if using.

Shake vigorously
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty and the mixture is well-chilled and slightly diluted.
- 3
Strain and serve
Fill a highball or hurricane glass with fresh ice. Strain the shaken cocktail into the glass, leaving any extra ice in the shaker. If you prefer a layered look (a visual 'shark attack' effect), pour the blackberry brandy slowly over the back of a spoon onto the filled drink so it sinks slightly to one side.
Garnish & finish
- 4
Skewer 2 fresh blackberries or a maraschino cherry on the cocktail pick and rest it across the rim of the glass. Add a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Optionally give the drink a final tiny spray of lime or a short dash of bitters on top.

Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy. This recipe yields a boozy, fruity cocktail with approximately 3.5 oz of rum (3 oz total rum + 0.5 oz brandy) and plenty of tropical flavor.
