Tropical Itch

Recipe:

8 oz. Passion Fruit juice
1 1/2 oz. Overproof Rum (Bacardi 151 is canonical)
1/2 oz. Orange Curaçao
1 oz. Jamaican Rum
1 oz. Bourbon
2 dashes Angostura Bitters

Fill an enormous glass with crushed ice, pour in everything, and stir well. Garnish with pineapple, mint, a fun flower, and a wooden back-scratcher (hopefully the lack of a back-scratcher won’t affect the taste).

Via: Kaiser Penguin, originally from Jeff ‘beachbum’ Berry’s Intoxica

Notes:

I actually tried this cocktail last summer, after Kaiser Penguin’s first mention of it. The combination of the strong-tasting Jamaican rum and the bourbon is striking, and the combination of both with the passion fruit, a tropical staple, makes this a great drink to while away long summer afternoons in the sun.

Rating:

- Too summery and too many ingredients for the full four-star treatment, but a great drink nonetheless.
