The Martiki was created in 1953 at the Luau Restaurant in Beverly Hills, and involved just light rum and kummel. As for the calories, Captain Morgan by itself is 75 cal/oz. So by my count, the drink is 355 calories/serving, not 150: 4 oz Captain Morgan Spiced Rum: 300 cal 1/2 Cup fresh pineapple: 39 cal 1 tsp lime juice: .2 cal 2 maraschino cherries: 16 cal Total: = 355.2 Perhaps you meant this for two servings? If so, the calorie count is a lot closer, and explains the second cherry!
