Trader Vic tweaked this one a lot as did Don The Beachcomber. Neither of

them originated the drink, but they took a lot of time perfecting it. The
version presented here is based on a recipe by Beachbum Berry. This is the
single serving version of the popular communal, bowl cocktail.

  • 2 oz light rum
  • 1/2 oz. brandy or cognac
  • 2 oz. fresh orange juice
  • 1 oz. fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 oz. orgeat syrup
  • 1/2 oz. dark rum as a float

    • Combine all the components except the dark rum in a shaker. Add ice and

    shake vigorously. Pour over ice into a collins glass or tiki mug. Carefully
    pour the dark rum into the glass -- it should float to the top. Garnish
    with an orange wedge and a single straw.
