📝 Ingredients
1 oz dark rum

½ oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
¼ oz simple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
Dash of Angostura bitters
Ice cubes
For garnish:
Orange slice
Maraschino cherry
Cocktail umbrella
(Optional: bamboo back scratcher for a playful tropical touch)
🍹 Instructions
1. Mix It Island-Style
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the dark rum, light rum, vodka, orange juice, passion fruit juice (or syrup), lemon juice, simple syrup, and a dash of Angostura bitters.
2. Shake It Up
Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the drink is well chilled and the ingredients are fully combined.
3. Serve It Bold
Strain the mixture into a large tiki or hurricane glass filled with fresh ice cubes.
4. Garnish with Flair
Top the drink with a fresh orange slice and a maraschino cherry. For extra island vibes, add a paper cocktail umbrella—and for a bit of fun, include a small bamboo back scratcher!
✅ Tips & Variations
For a sweeter taste: Use passion fruit syrup instead of juice.
Skip the vodka: Omit it for a slightly less potent version.
Go frozen: Blend all ingredients with ice for a slushy-style cocktail.
