The lovely and talented Tina Tina Floratina came over to my place last night so we could practice on our ukes for a little while, and I raided my bachelor-esque fridge & bar to come up with this drink:

Tempting Tina

Four parts OJ
Four parts Don Q Limon rum (I only had a small sample bottle, when that ran out I switched to Bacardi Silver, which was not nearly as good)
Two parts Cruzan Black Strap rum
One part Licor 43

I didn't bother to measure, just slopped it together, and I didn't have any ice, so overall it was definitely a substandard drink. Didn't even bother to garnish it, which in retrospect was a damned shame since I did have some plastic garnishes about. It did, however, have potential. I'm not generally a fan of tropical drinks that rely too heavily on OJ, but it was what I had... if I'd had limes on hand I think it would have tartened the drink up nicely, the Limon rum played that role rather well until I ran out.
