Thanks to Hurricane Hayward for decoding the secret ingredient to "The Backscratcher" to wit: POG, also known as equal parts passion fruit juice, orange juice and guava juice. A nice fruity combination but as used in the backscratcher it yielded a far too sweet a drink for my palate.
However, I like that POG combination so I thought I'd mess about with it and here's what I cobbled together:

THE BACKBITER

1.5 oz of POG
1 oz fresh lime juice
.5 oz falernum (I used Fee Brothers)
,25 oz Cinnamon syrup (I used my extra rich home made)
1 dash Angostura bitters
1.5 oz of Cruzan Dark Rum (Now called 'Aged')
.5 oz Lemon Hart 151

I top-blended it with crushed ice and poured into a 12oz Collins glass adding ice to fill.
To my taste anyway, the Backbiter turned out to be pretty good.

I bet you feel more like you do now now than you did when you came in.
