Rawim and IcyTiki
I think you're onto something with the Creme De Noyaux. When I watch them make the drink at tiki-ti I never see a creme de noyaux bottle come out, but then there is this whitish looking syrup/liquid which I originally presumed was simple syrup or orgeat, but perhaps this is actually white creme de Noyaux. I think this makes sense because I always thought that 2 syrups seemed excessive. A syrup and a liquer however is more in tune with a proper balance. I think the drink gets the red hue from the passion syrup because the red creme de Noyaux makes a drink that looks aggressively red like hawaiian punch.

Gin is a definite, and the cheaper the better if we're going for accuracy. A good gin may be a bit to bold in the mix. Coruba is mandatory for the float. I'm on the fence about the pineapple but I think a half ounce is the right measurement if it is indeed in the mix. The only thing I think is not in there would be vanilla extract because I don't see the Buhens dash anything out of a special bottle.
