I named it “The Beachcomber’s Shanty,” which I’d gotten from playing around with the Tiki Bar Name Generator. Fast forward a few months when nui ‘umi ‘umi tried my Club Babita on the rocks. I thought I’d see what it tasted like, except I got the wrong cocktail and tried The Beachcomber’s Shanty instead. After tweaking the pineapple and Don’s Mix ratios, I decided I preferred the Shanty shaken with crushed ice. Bob Ross might call that a happy little accident. The Beachcomber’s Shanty 1-1/2 oz gold Virgin Islands rum 1-1/2 oz gold Jamaican rum 1-1/2 oz pineapple juice 1-1/2 oz Don's Mix (1 oz white grapefruit juice, 1/2 oz cinnamon syrup) 1 dash spiced bitters* Shake with crushed ice and pour unstrained into a double old fashioned glass. Garnish with a mint sprig. *Spiced bitters are a 1:1 mix of Angostura bitters and pimento dram. If necessary, substitute “full strength” Angostura bitters. [ Edited by: Hamo 2019-02-10 14:36 ]
