You’ll need a cocktail shaker with a strainer, two glasses (high ball are fine), and straws
Prepare:
Shave enough ice to fill both high ball glasses. Put ice back in the freezer until just before you are ready to pour the drink so that the ice does not melt before it chills the cocktail.
Ingredients:
3 oz. light rum
3 oz. dark rum
1 oz. orange curacao (or grand marnier)
2 oz. pineapple juice (fresh is amazing if you can do it)
2 oz. guava juice
2 oz. fresh squeezed lime juice
1 oz. orgeat syrup (almond syrup with orange or rose, you can get it in the mixer section)
1 oz. simple syrup or rock candy syrup
crushed mint leaves to garnish (very important)
pineapple wedges for garnish
lime wedge to garnish
Put all liquid ingredients in cocktail shaker.
Fill two high ball glasses with shaved ice.
Shake cocktail shaker thoroughly, at least ten times.
Strain into two glasses.
Crush the mint leaves between your fingers and float on the top of the drink. It is important to really bruise the mint leaves, because they blend the flavors together. You should NOT skip the fresh mint – it is the key to the whole drink.
Garnish with pineapple and lime wedges.
Drink through a straw. Make sure you have a designated driver … or make at home so you don’t need one.
If you are having a party, these can be made ahead of time and stored in a pitcher, but make sure you stir well before serving.
