Hey, here's the Cobra's Fang drink, cribbed from another thread here on TC.

Don the Beachcomber's book says a Cobra's Fang is:

0.5 oz lime juice
0.5 oz Falernum
0.5 oz orange juice
0.25 oz Fassionola
0.5 Jamaica Dark rum
0.5 Lemon Hart Demerara 151 Rum
1 dash Angostura bitter
1 dash grenadine
1 dash selected herbs

The book suggests Myers's Original dark rum as a substitute for the Jamaica dark rum, I suggest Pat O'Brians Hurricane mix or a Passion fruit syrup/lime juice mixture as substitutes for Fassionola if you can not find it.

"Selected Herbs" is up for debate, as well as how you actually mix this sucker. Shake and serve with lots of ice? Float the 151 or not? Dash that stuff when?

Also, this Fang just ain't that big. It only adds up to a few oz's, seems like they left something or other out; the Fang mug seems LARGE. Is it all ice?...
