First, I have to confess that this drink was the fourth of the night so no guarantees.....

A couple of these with six people to guess at the ingredients and this is what we came up with:

Pineapple Juice
Guava Juice
Orange Juice
A medium bodied rum (I think Flor-de-Cana gold)
Some grenadine for color

And then the ingredients under debate:

I got hints of Coconut like maybe a splash of Cruzan Coconut Rum

Someone else got banana, like maybe the juice was a blend that included banana

Someone else suggested banana liquer like a splash of 99 Banana

I suggested that maybe the grenadine was really the Mai-Kai Secret Red Sauce which would include some Passion Fruit (there was a bit of tart that wouldn't come from the guava alone)

This week I will venture to the market and then behind the bar and see if I can get some measurements for you. In the meantime, start with what we have and what we think we have. combine whith what you have and see if you can get it. If nothing else, we can come up with a new drink and call it the Tiki Central Special.
