Ingredients

  • 1½ ounces golden rum
  • 1 ounce white rum
  • 1 ounce pineapple juice
  • 1 ounce fresh lime juice
  • 1 ounce Passion fruit syrup
  • ½ ounce grenadine
  • 1 dash angostura bitters
  • ½ ounce 151-proof rum
  • Mint leaves, maraschino cherry, or orange slice, for garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine the white rum, golden rum, pineapple juice, lime juice, passion fruit syrup, grenadine, and bitters in a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice.
  2. Shake until the outside of the shaker is frosty, about 30 seconds. Strain into a tall glass or tiki glass filled with ice.
  3. Float the 151-proof rum onto the cocktail by slowly pouring it into the glass over the back of a spoon. Garnish with mint, a cherry, or orange slice, as desired.

Notes

  • Use good rum! I like to use a Jamaican white rum, Puerto Rican gold rum, and an overproof rum like 151-proof or demerara (made from molasses).
  • Use orange juice. Instead of pineapple juice, you can use orange juice for a more citrusy drink.
  • Don’t skip the bitters! Even though you only need a small amount, Angostura bitters add depth and complexity to the drink. You can substitute them with cinnamon syrup if you can't find bitters.
