A classic cocktail with three varieties of rum balanced with fruit juice and warm spices.
Ingredients
- Ice, preferably crushed
- 1 1/2 ounces dark rum
- 1 1/2 ounces gold rum
- 1 1/2 ounces freshly squeezed or store-bought 100% grapefruit juice
- 1 ounce 151-proof Demerara rum
- 1 ounce 100% pineapple juice
- 3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice (1/2 medium lime)
- 1/2 ounce grenadine
- 1/2 ounce Simple Syrup
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 dash Angostura bitters
For garnish
- 1 to 2 sprigs fresh mint
- 1 slice grapefruit
- 1 maraschino or cocktail cherry (optional)
- Fill a highball glass halfway with ice.
- Place 1 1/2 ounces dark rum, 1 1/2 ounces gold rum, 1 1/2 ounces grapefruit juice, 1 ounce 151-proof Demerara rum, 1 ounce pineapple juice, 3/4 ounce lime juice, 1/2 ounce grenadine, 1/2 ounce simple syrup, 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 dash Angostura bitters in a cocktail shaker.
