TW,
Here's one that I've never made correctly due to no orange blossom water (or gardenia for that matter). It's great w/o and should be awesome when done up correctly. Recipe from "Trader Vic's Tiki Party" book that came out in the last year.

Tiki Puka Puka

• 3 oz. TV's Navy Grog Mix
• 1 oz. orange juice
• 1 oz. lemon juice
• 1 oz. silver rum
• 1 oz. dark rum
• 1 oz. 151-proof Demerara rum
• Dash grenadine
• 1 cup crushed ice, plus additional ice cubes
• 1 gardenia for garnish
• Dash of orange flower water for garnish

Combine Grog Mix, juices, rums, grenadine and crushed ice in a blender and pulse for a few seconds, just until uniformly combined. Pour into double old-fashioned glass or individual scorpion bowl. Add ice cubes to fill. Garnish with gardenia and a dash of orange blossom water sprinkled on top.
