Ingredients:
- 2 oz (60 ml) dark rum
- 1 oz (30 ml) fresh lime juice
- ¾ oz (22.5 ml) simple syrup (1 part sugar to 1 part water)
- 3 dashes Elemakule Tiki Bitters
- 1 oz (30 ml) pineapple juice
- Crushed ice
- Pineapple wedge and cherry, for garnish (optional)
- Fresh mint sprig (optional)
- Grated nutmeg, for dusting (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare Simple Syrup: If you dont have simple syrup on hand, combine equal parts sugar and water in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until the sugar completely dissolves. Allow to cool before using.
- Mix Ingredients: In a shaker, combine the dark rum, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, pineapple juice, and Elemakule Tiki Bitters.
- Shake It Up: Fill the shaker with crushed ice and secure the lid. Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
- Strain and Serve: Fill a tall glass (such as a tiki mug or a highball glass) with crushed ice. Strain the mixture from the shaker over the crushed ice.
- Garnish: Garnish with a pineapple wedge, cherry, and a mint sprig. For an extra touch, grating a little nutmeg over the top can enhance the aroma.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately with a straw or a stir stick for mixing.
