This tiki drink has a fun garnish that should not be optional. It’s pretty satisfying pushing a cocktail umbrella inside out, as if blow back by the wind. So don’t skip that step. Umbrellas are cheap.
This tiki drink is all about balance. Lots of citrus balanced against a couple of rums. Don’t use spiced rum, just because it is usually black in color. The rum in the link is also very cheap and easy to find. No need to overthink it. For lightly aged rum, I almost always go with Appleton 8 or 12.
Cheers!
