None of the other posted Lapu Lapu recipes are correct.

Shaved ice is a must for that authentic taste.

Here it is:

A full glass of shaved ice.

A splash of simple syrup. (Available at "Smart and Final")

A splash of orgeat syrup (gives it that almond flavor). It can also be purchased at Smart and Final. Amaretto is a nice substitution.

A splash of passion fruit syrup(this is what makes it different from a mai tai). Usually available at Smart and Final or The Liquor Barn."

light rum. Probably around 2 shots in a brandy sniffer sized glass.

A mixture of 60% pineapple juice, 40% orange juice.

A floater of dark rum. Myers is not dark enough. Use either "Whalers" (sold at Trader Joe's) or "Trader Vic's"

Cheers. Aloha
