Like all the good Tiki Bars of old, they do not give out their recipes but I know that formula is more than just pineapple juice and rum. From what I could see from years of bellying up to the bar, they use an unmarked container of juice (probably pineapple but maybe a mix of pineapple and citrus juices), Trader Vic's passion fruit syrup, and float the top with dark rum -- I think it's Lahaina Dark if I'm not mistaken. Mix all ingredients into a very large snifter over cracked ice or you can go for the Fishbowl! As mentioned, consult the Grog Log for actual measurements and you will probably come close. Either way, you'll have fun trying to figure it out. Good luck.
