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
1 to 2 sprigs fresh mint
1 slice grapefruit
1 maraschino or cocktail cherry (optional)
Instructions
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. Fill the cocktail shaker halfway with ice, seal the shaker, and shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker is frosty, about 20 seconds.
Pour through a strainer into the glass. Garnish with 1 to 2 fresh mint sprigs, 1 grapefruit slice (squeeze the juice from the grapefruit into the drink first if desired), and 1 maraschino cherry if using.
