A splash of simple syrup, orgeat syrup, and passion fruit syrup, is about a teaspoon each. two shots of rum means two ounces. It's a standard shot glass measurement. The amount of orange juice and pineapple juice (60% pineapple juice, 40% orange juice) should fill up the glass almost all the way to the top. Leave just enough room for the floater. The floater is around two more shots (ounces) of dark rum. whatever you do, don't use Myers or some other so called dark rum. You need the really dark rum, like Whalers or Trader's Vic's. Try Trader Joe's naked juice for the orange juice, or even better use the tangerine juice. It's an even better drink than the Royal Hawaiian if you use fresh juice.

All together, there is around 4 shots of booze in a brandy sniffer sized glass.
