Nutty Like a Fruitcake
By Mindy Kucan at HalePale in Portland.
1 1/2 oz Demerara Rum
1/2 oz Spiced Rum
1 oz Orange Juice
1/2 oz Lemon Juice
1/2 oz Creole Shrubb or Dry Curaçao
1/4 oz Allspice Dram
3/4 oz Orgeat
1 dash Tiki Bitters
Garnish with a clove studded orange wedge.
Here's what AI had to say about it LOL
"Look no further than Nutty Like a Fruit Cake if you're looking for something different from typical bar drinks but still want some history behind them - which means they have survived long enough through various trends coming back around again due largely because people enjoy changing what already works well when bartenders take time perfecting their techniques before presenting said creation onto unsuspecting customers who will undoubtedly ask questions once served since there must be certain key elements included within both glass & garnish alike."

Huli Huli Daiquiri
2 oz contraband Cuban Rum
3/4 oz Lime Juice

A bit too much Huli Huli
Next try
Huli Huli Planter's Punch
2 oz Mount Gay Eclipse
