Famous Honolulu bartender Harry K. Yee first served the Tropical Itch with a back-scratcher as a stirrer in 1957.

I can't find his recipie anywhere, but I bet Beachbum's is pretty close.

Here is one from the Great Tiki Drink Book if you only want a small drink.

1.5 oz Pineapple Juice
0.5 oz Passion fruit syrup
2.0 oz Dark Rum
Juice of 1/2 lemon

Fill a highball glass with ice, pour everthing into the glass, stir and serve.
