Well, yeah, I guess it's a new drink. I hadn't really thought about what to call it. Tiki Central punch sounds OK, or maybe Shecky Punch, Shecky Highball, or maybe even something like Mt. Tiki (the Mt. for "Mt. Shasta").

I was going to use just a white rum, but I was out of it after using it to make mojitos over the weekend. The Noa Noa was what I had on hand. The Tahitian rum has kind of a unique flavor, but it's not real easy to find. After tasting those two on their own and feelign something else was needed, I tried the cinnamon schnapps because it seemed the most appropriate from what else I had on hand (chambord, pernod, vermouth, peach schnapps, rose's lime, passion fruit syrup and blackberry brandy). I didn't actually try any of the others - the cinammon schnapps seemed to work OK. That's how I came to mix these particular ingredients.
