Island Wolfhound by Mike Johnson and Kelly Merrell, Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar

UPDATED 11/13/19 to reflect the drink's new name, now on the menu since 2019.

2 oz Gin
1 oz Fresh Grapefruit Juice
.5 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
.5 oz B.G. Reynolds' Orgeat
.5 oz B.G. Reynolds' Falernum
.25 oz Monin Agave Nectar, or Simple Syrup (they tend to use Agave a lot there, your choice)
2 Dashes Angostura Bitters

Build in a mixing glass or shaker, adding ice last. Shake until chilled and roll into a hurricane glass. Garnish with fresh mint and/or a lemon wheel or wedge (optional).

This is an off-menu drink from Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar in the Disneyland Hotel. Its an original creation by bartender Mike Johnson, and he'll promote it often along with his King Kamehameha Mai Tai (which is not good, sorry Mike). This one however is a winner. It can be a little spicy but that's part of the character. I've made this several times and I can confidently say that this checks out and is accurate.
