"Sometimes madness is the only path out. Let the bubbles help you on your way."

1 oz. Triple Sec (I used Bols)
1 oz. 151 Rum (I used Bacardi)
1 oz. unsweetened pineapple juice (I used house brand)
1 oz. lemon juice (I tried fresh and bottled--fresh better)
1 tbsp. coconut cream (Coco Lopez)
1 tsp. molasses (Brer Rabbit blackstrap)
4 ice cubes
soda (Polar)

Add triple sec, rum and juices to shaker. Crush ice and add. Put in coconut cream and molasses and shake before molasses hits bottom or it will stick. Serve in tall tiki mug and float some soda on top. Garnish with anything leafy.

This is the drink I've been working on. I wanted it to:
-have a cool name
-taste substantially different than other drinks
-use at least one ingredient (molasses) that's (almost) never used
-be easy to make
-have cheap ingredients
-be something I actually like

So if just ONE other person tries this and tells me they like it, all that liquor I wasted won't have been in vain. Don't skip the molasses and don't add too much. Like pernod, it will wreck the drink if you're not careful. It's a pain to measure out so err on the side of less.
