## 2oz dark rum 2oz white rum 1oz lime juice 1oz pineapple juice 1oz simple syrup Drop of bitters

Drop of grenadine

I shake these ingredients with ice then strain into a glass filled with ice and toss a chunk of lime peel from the squished lime on top. Then I finish with a drop of grenadine over the whole thing which sinks to the bottom and makes it look cool.

It tastes fantastic and I’ve been averaging 2 per night and blowing my budget on rum. I’m wondering if I’ve stumbled across a tiki age classic. Is there a name for this concoction?

Mai tai fits most of the ingredients but the Mai tais I have had included orange juice or orange liquor.
