Going through The Hukilau withdrawls? I recommend the hair of the dog ...

My educated guess on the recipe ...
1 oz Gunpowder
1 oz Appleton
1/4 oz cinnamon
1 oz pineapple
1/2 oz lime
1 dash Angostura

I thought it was a bit juicy and one-dimensional, so I added bitters and passion fruit syrup:
2 oz Real McCoy 5 (or any good aged Barbados rum)
3/4 oz passion fruit syrup
1/2 oz pineapple juice
1/4 oz lemon juice
1/4 oz lime juice
1 dash Angostura

I later heard from William Prestwood, general manager at Pagan Idol. He agreed that syrup is the way to go, then gave us some cool history:
"The name comes from the 1945 Tonga Room menu. 15ml lemon, 15ml lime, 30ml passionfruit syrup, 30ml pineapple, 60ml Real McCoy 5 (Distiller's proof if you can get it)."

Okole maluna!
